Gentle birth can change the world.

Here is a sampling of pictures taken from clients' births.  They have graciously given their permission to have them shared on this site.

The birth stories below are from the mother's point of view.  They provide a look at how homebirth works, what it feels like for the mother and how complications are handled. 

All birth stories are linked to a PDF (which requires Adobe Reader to open).


A montage of homebirth photos from my practice can be found here.
