Welcome to BirthWays and Embellyshments!
When I first started attending births in 1994, I realized many women had too
few positive images and heard too
many negative stories about pregnancy and birth. Feeling empowered by their
births, many of my clients gave me copies of their birth photos and
emphatically told me to share their stories with other women. I started to
bring a photo album to prenatal visits with my doula clients. I shared
photographs of water births, of partners catching the baby, of children
watching intently, of births by candlelight, of women birthing while standing,
squatting, or on their hands and knees, of women catching their own baby and I
shared their stories.
I do this because I have seen the difference information and education can
make. I do this because my clients have asked me to share their stories and to
inform others of available choices. I do this because I think pregnancy and
birth are sacred and should be honored. I do this because it makes a
difference. I hope BirthWays helps you find the information that you need to
make informed decisions.
This is a small homebased business and our daily lives sometimes keep us from
answering email everyday. We will get back to you ASAP and appreciate your
understanding and patience.
