Birth Works® International is a non-profit organization of childbirth educators and doulas, that embodies the philosophy of developing a woman’s self-confidence, trust, and faith in her ability to give birth. We believe that: Birth is instinctive and that women’s bodies are designed to give birth. The knowledge about how to give birth is born within every woman: women do not need to be taught how to give birth but rather to have more trust and faith in their own bodyknowledge. Integration of the mind, body, and spirit is essential when giving birth.

This experiential and dynamic workshop offers both an academic and emotional preparation for birth and will cover:  • Feelings, Belief Systems, and Philosophies• Pelvic bodywork and labor positions• Birth physiology:  neocortex and hormone behaviors• Components of labor, privacy, pain, and vocalization• Feeling safe to give birth and comfort measures• Human values in birth• VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and Cesarean decisions• Grieving and healing• Mother/baby skin-to-skin contact and fetal brain wiring• Group dynamics preparation for teaching Birth Works® classes
