Birthing From Within
Childbirth Preparation Series
Birthing From Within
birth is a labyrinth, not a maze
“Mazes have wrong ways and dead ends, forcing you to retrace your steps and try a different route, but labyrinths, while seemingly complex, have a singular path that winds into the center, and back out again. Walking the labyrinth, you only need to put one foot in front of the other and keep going.” ~ Birthing From Within
This is a preparation series inspired by Pam England’s book, Birthing From Within. It is centered on helping you turn inward to better understand their own motivations and fears, and to simultaneously discover your own inner resources and guiding forces.
The modules guide you through the unknown so you can fully experience the transformation that birthing a baby brings. Birthing From Within also brings current evidence-based research into each class, building the bridges between ancient and modern knowing, myth and science, grit and grace.
