Intro to Birth Art (free workshop!)
Birthing From Within's unique Birth Art Process has been helping expectant parents and birth professionals for over 30 years. Join this free intro to learn what it’s all about!
Taming Fear: Supporting Parents in Pregnancy and Birth
Our first instinct is often to try to convince a parent to be less fearful, to somehow argue them out of their anxiety. But we all know that doesn’t really work. This course will lead you to methods and approaches that do.
Exploring the Labyrinth for Birth
The labyrinth can be understood as a universal map for any rite of passage or initiatory ordeal, regardless of its specific events and outcomes.
Nervous System Regulation Tools for Birth Workers - Free Call!
Birth workers often support others through intense, unpredictable experiences, which makes tending to our own nervous systems an essential part of our work. Rather than striving to “fix” or control every moment, this approach invites curiosity, self-awareness, and compassionate presence.
Together, we’ll reflect on how regulation and dysregulation show up in birth spaces, and how birth workers can cultivate steadiness within themselves while supporting the people they serve. You’ll learn a few accessible practices you can use personally and share with parents, along with ways to recognize when a nervous system may need support.
This call is an opportunity to pause, reconnect with your own inner resources, and gather practical tools to bring more steadiness, resilience, and humanity into your birth work.
This Member Call is open to the public! Register below.

Enriching Your Prenatals: Practical Tools for Meaningful Sessions
It can be challenging to fit all the things we want to do prenatally with clients into the little time we have with them before their birth.
Learn how to get insight into what your clients already know, gain clarity on the most important elements of preparing for birth, create engaging material, and set the foundation for a coping mindset.
Two live session, two and a half hours each.

Supporting Parents Who Have Birthed Before- free call!
We often assume that those who have birthed before "know what to expect"—yet each birth experience is its own threshold, inviting new layers of surrender and transformation.
As parents prepare to welcome another baby into their family, their needs shift. They tend to be less interested in the nuts and bolts of birth, and more interested in exploring how to get through the ordeal of birth as an initiation, having walked that road before.
On this call, we’ll explore topics and processes to support experienced parents.
