An Extra-Ordinary Approach to Childbirth Preparation

The BIRTHING FROM WITHIN© philosophy offers a holistic and soulful approach to pregnancy and childbirth, opening the door to self discovery and empowering parents to give birth in awareness.

As Pam England, co-writer of the book “Birthing From Within” says: "Are you wondering, what does "birthing from within" mean? Or, how does a mother "give birth from within"? In a word: awareness"

The BIRTHING FROM WITHIN© birth preparation classes allow parents to explore their own inner knowledge of birth and offer a safe non-judgmental environment where, together, they will learn how to identify their own inner strengths and where they will deepen their pain coping abilities through various hands-on activities.

Through creative role plays parents are taught how to ask questions and give informed consent to health care providers, prepare emotionally for the challenges which may arise during childbirth, as well as share a harmonious bond with each other through proven labour support techniques & comfort measures. The classes encourage parents to be curious about their labours and births promoting an on-going exploration of themselves and their birthing options, empowering them and giving them a deep rooted sense of preparedness.

Presented in a non-lecture format, parents are able to ask questions and enjoy lively conversations ultimately allowing them to build a solution-focused mind-set, and gain new skills for the journey which lies ahead.

• help mothers discover their active role in childbirth.
