Being pregnant teaches us things that ease the transition to caring for a newborn. For example – thinking about another human being (with every bite we eat!), not sleeping through nights, and not being in control during birth – help prepare us emotionally to mother. If additionally, we have BirthWorks philosophy as a framework, then …
Ina May Gaskin, MidwifeI think the BWI Conference was really special this year. I found it very encouraging, educational and inspiring, so what more could you ask for than that? I’ll be happy to come back again. Being a presenter this year was easy, relaxed, with a congenial environment, and I met some good people …
Did you know that all people are about the same size from their neck to their groin? You can know that this is true because when we sit around the table together, we are looking about the same size. This is because what makes us taller or shorter is the growth of the epiphseal plates …

This is an “Ah Ha” moment for any pregnant woman, helping her to understand the importance of movement in labor. A must have tool for any Childbirth Educator, Doula, or …
I was really drawn to the birth is ancient, and the “something we are born to do” philosophy. NZ The workshop was much more than I expected. I feel as though I have gained so much knowledge in just a few days. The role plays really helped me to see what it would be like …
The ACED Workshop met all my needs and even those I didn’t know I had! The pace of the workshop was very good – not too fast or slow. It was very comprehensive in all ways: modelling class activities, returning to philosophy, using energy, techniques and human values, and more. Thank you so much. This …
