"Pam England's contribution to mindful birthing and parenting needs to be accessible to every birthing family; its significance cannot be overstated. If there was a Nobel Prize for birth work, I would nominate BIRTHING FROM WITHIN." ~Kathy (midwife)

"BIRTHING FROM WITHIN is the book I found in a desperate search to find some comfort after an extremely traumatic childbirth experience. It helped me make sense of what had happened and re-channel that negative energy toward helping others. BIRTHING FROM WITHIN is comfortingly nonjudgmental and bridges the wide gap between the medical and home birth extremist camps. This book also reclaims childbirth as a rite of passage and emphasizes childbirth preparation as a way to enhance connection with oneself, one's partner, and one's community." ~Rachel (mother)

"Your book, BIRTHING FROM WITHIN, carries a beautifully profound energy that touches people deeply. Everyone I have turned your book on to has so appreciated and loved it. It resonated a core truth for them and in them." ~Carole (midwife)

"I discovered BIRTHING FROM WITHIN when I was trying to get pregnant. When that didn't happen for me, I cleared my house of all pregnancy-related books, to help open my heart to our new path: adoption. However, I found that I couldn't part with my copy of BIRTHING FROM WITHIN. I worked through it to help me prepare to become a parent. It helped me look at my life in a way that no other resource had. I faced my fears and dealt with my sorrows before my child arrived, so that I could welcome her joyfully. Later, I did become pregnant and used this book again to help me prepare for labor, and also for the very challenging postpartum period. What a unique and amazing resource this book was for me both times I became a mother!" ~Denise (mother)
