Our Purpose
“The journey of childbirth is more than a medical event. It is transformative on all levels - physical, emotional, psychological, cultural, societal, and spiritual. Modern birth preparation should encompass all these dimensions, rather than merely focusing on providing information.”
— Kin

Our Approach
The Birthing From Within© Method
Image Credit: Red image by Birthing From Within
“Inspiring birth workers & birthing families to honour birth as a rite of passage through ritual, art, story, & community.”
Birthing From Within© was founded in 1998 by midwife Pam England when she realized that something was missing from birth preparation in our culture.
While lots of organizations address parents' brains and bodies, very few address their hearts.
Birthing from Within works to fill that gap by providing parents with preparation for the deep psychological and emotional transformations of birth.
-
Build flexibility, resilience, and coping skills, so that they are less vulnerable to birth trauma.
Combine practical medical knowledge with the power of embodied practice, ritual, story, and artmaking for authentic preparation and healing.
Detach their sense of self-worth from medical outcomes.
Stay connected with themselves, their babies, and their partners as they navigate the complex journey of birth.
