The Bride Package
Among many other things we learned, Birthing From Within helped my husband and I to figure out how we could have a fulfilling birth experience - no matter how close it was (or wasn't) to what we'd imagined, and no matter where it happened (home or hospital). Birthing From Within also helped us to reframe our thinking about birth as something more than the actual labor and delivery - a process that begins in pregnancy, includes giving birth, and lasts well into our baby's first year. And it helped us to think about our birth as new parents. I'd recommend it to everyone I know having a baby in Southern Maine. ~Birth Roots Mom
I’m excited and ready now! I now have a wealth of knowledge and tools to use in our upcoming labor and birth. Thank you! ~Birth Roots Dad
I feel much more at peace with the entire process. For the first time in my life I have no fear of childbirth (timely! thank you!) Leah is a fantastic facilitator – patient, non-judgmental and articulate. Thanks for a great experience. ~Birth Roots Mom
I feel like I am a better person overall, not just better prepared but more aware and alive as a result of what I have been exposed to here. I thank you greatly. ~Birth Roots Dad
