What is Birthing From Within?

Birthing From Within is a process-oriented, dynamic childbirth class that explores birth as a rite of passage. Our classes prepare participants for the unexpected by equipping them with tools to greet birth and life with love and awareness. Our pain coping practices support the awakening of each individual's inner resources fostering a deeper understanding of what it means to become parents.

Classes include:

Building a pain-coping mindset

Labor Physiology

Facing unwished circumstances

Understanding birth technology

Exploring Self-Compassion

Discovering inner resources

Seeing birth from 4 perspectives (mother, partner, baby and culture)

Postpartum preparation

And so very much more....

The landscape of labor is not linear, but rather twists and turns like the path of a labyrinth, awakening great determination, doubt, faith... and love.

After the birth, were you left with feelings of confusion and powerlessness?

A Birth Story Medicine session is a unique approach to viewing the birth story in a new light, leading to feelings of resolution and personal healing.
