Birthing from Within works to fill that gap by providing parents with preparation for the deep psychological and emotional transformations of birth. Birthing from Within helps parents… build flexibility, resilience, and coping skills, so that they are less vulnerable to birth trauma. combine practical medical knowledge with the power of embodied practice, ritual, story, and artmaking for authentic preparation and healing. detach their sense of self-worth from medical outcomes. stay connected with themselves, their babies, and their partners as they navigate the complex journey of birth. Birthing from Within helps birth professionals… guide parents through the journey of birth, helping them navigate intensity, uncertainty, and unexpected outcomes by drawing upon their inner resources. combine modern medical information with embodied understandings, allowing parents to access what they have learned even in the intensity of the birth experience. access continuous inspiration and reinvigoration of their practices, preventing and healing burnout. address the needs and challenges of the communities and contexts in which they work. connect with a dynamic and diverse community of birth workers who share an understanding of birth as initiation.
