Childbirth educators play an essential role in pregnancy. As a childbirth educator, you can empower families as you help them understand the birthing process, and their options for birth, supporting them in their desires for a positive birth experience.

The world becomes more beautiful and we live life with greater gratitude and purpose with the arrival of a new baby. Babies also take up a lot of time and it's helpful to anticipate our needs so we can better care for our babies.

Transformation is an amazing time, an exciting time; a time of stretching and allowing not only physically, but also spiritually and emotionally.
