The BirthWorks Difference
We’re so glad you arrived here. Most of our trained professionals started by reading and deeply connecting with our Philosophy.
Birth is Instinctive so doesn't need to be taught; it needs to be realized!
We help woman to have trust and faith in their bodies that already know how to give birth.
BirthWorks is a process not a method. Each woman gives birth in her own special way.

Testimonials
"Wow! What a truly educational, personal growth, beautiful experience I experienced doing the ACED. A doctor colleague of mine mentioned this program at a another pediatric/ obstetric seminar, and without hesitation or research in the program I registered! It blew my socks off! I had no idea I was aligning myself with such a powerful, loving, integrity driven, educational, beautiful organization that BirthWorks is!"

"The BirthWorks ACED workshop experience was beyond descriptive words and holds a special place in my heart, an experience that reached me deeper than I could have imagined. Truly a cherished experience."

"I wish every student midwife would do this course before the degree as it has really opened my eyes to what is truly important and how we can make such a large difference with only our mind, heart and hands. I have been given a confidence in the innate ability to birth and be born that my fellow midwifery students do not yet have and I have to thank you for giving me that. I believe the confidence I have gained will allow me to empower women to have the same confidence in themselves. I will always be thinking back to this work. It has become my foundation. Thank you."

- Janelle Lerma
“My first BirthWorks Educator Workshop was truly transformational and challenged many ideas and thoughts that I previously had about birth. It has helped me develop more faith and confidence in birth and in women's bodies to birth as well as in myself to serve childbearing women and their families. Regardless of what method of childbirth you ascribe to or your ideas about birth, BirthWorks will be beneficial for anyone serving childbearing women.”
