Birth Uncut Event!!
We also have a fabulous Workshop scheduled for the following day with more information below...
Birth Uncut Workshop
November 6th 9am-4:30pm
CEUs Available
Henci Goer, Author of The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth and Obstetric Myths vs. Research Realities, will be speaking on two topics:
The Illusion of Choice in Childbirth: Factors that Interfere with Free Choice in Maternity Care
A common belief is that accurate information alone is enough to enable childbearing women to make good decisions for themselves and their babies. If only it were that simple. Any number of obstacles interfere with informed decision making, not only in obtaining information but in other areas, too—not to mention the dilemmas that confront those of us helping her. Join Henci in exploring some of those challenges and dilemmas and brainstorming strategies to overcome them.
And
The Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative: Blueprint for Safe, Effective, Satisfying and Cost Effective Maternity Care
This portion of the workshop will focus on the problems with U.S. maternity care and discuss a model of care that better serves women and babies as well as being safe, satisfying and cost-effective. We will also discuss strategies to improve maternity care.

The 3 Secrets to Creating a New Paradigm of Birth
Are you tired of reading about, hearing about and even participating in what I term the 'old paradigm of birth'? Or, as I have recently come to call ~ Birth Hell? Are you disillusioned and burnt out by working in the hospital system? Would you like to feel more EMPOWERED as a doula or birth professional and communicate with RESPECT with your clients and colleagues? Would you like to charge what you are WORTH and create a full practice?
It is time to fully stand in your VALUE as a birth professional, to be an example of excellent SELF-CARE and charge what you are worth. It is in this way that our culture will come to value doulas and birth professionals and the new paradigm will have a strong foundation. Evolution is happening rapidly now and the old paradigm is crumbling. If we are to create a new humanity based on PEACE and LOVE we must transmute fear within ourselves first, as we support women to birth IN PEACE and AS LOVE.

Jennifer West
Author of, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Natural Childbirth and The Natural Healing Power of the Placenta: Feeling, Healing and Dealing with the Postpartum Experience, will be speaking on:
Homebirth Point of View on VBACs
Jennifer is a licensed midwife with a private practice that specializes in waterbirth and gentle birth. The desire to educate women about their choices on how they birth, helping them create their best birth experience, continues to be a priority as well as an honor and a joy. She enjoys teaching and providing information to assist parents-to-be before, during and after birth.
