Birthing From Within is a unique, holistic approach to childbirth
preparation. Our classes are experiential and emphasize pain coping
practices; basics of labor & birth; the postpartum year; making
informed choices; working with the right brain through birth art;
building community and honoring birth as a rite of passage. “If you are
looking for something different and meaningful as you prepare for birth
and parenting, you are in the right place!”
