Birthing From Within classes do not exclusively focus on medical information about birth. This is rooted in the belief that pregnancy and birth are influenced by a variety of factors, but cannot ultimately be controlled by planning or becoming a birth “Expert”. Using a multi-dimensional approach using storytelling, myth, journaling, birth art, conversation, video and interactive exercises, you will learn how to go within for the strength, intuitive wisdom and skills to use in labor, birth and parenting.
We honor parents’ unique needs as they approach the threshold of childbirth with different beliefs, fears, desires and concerns.
‘No mother in the heat of labor is experiencing 'stages' or purely depending on her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to guide her. This kind of knowledge is fascinating, but irrelevant to a mother white-knuckling through a contraction.
She needs insight about what labor and birth will be like from her perspective and preparation to be in labor and give birth as a mother, not as a trained
para-professional.’- Pam England, author and creator of Birthing From Within
