Birth work is hard enough. None of us is getting rich. Let's make this simple.

You need to share information without taking up a lot of time. You need something to give them so they can easily grasp the concepts, have a brief look at the research, or have a way to remember what you talked about.

Take a look and see what might help your business. Half Off through today with code SALE2021. No subscriptions, renewals, or expirations. Purchase a digital handout today and use it today--printed or sent via email to your clients. You really can't beat it.

I make lots of high-interest, graphic birth curriculum (Better Birth Graphics) to use in my classes, but sometimes a boring poster is just the ticket. We talked about what each means and I asked the group to share ideas about why someone might want each kind of birth.

Here’s an interesting fact you might not know: People in labor are still people.

They have the same basic needs of the rest of us, and they (gasp) retain their human rights and bodily autonomy. (That’s another post entirely.)

The most basic needs that must be met are physiological. This means that, IN LABOR, a body must feel that its bodily needs are being met.

It's no wonder so few people report having birth experiences they feel really good about! I made this and started a series of posts after seeing the Maslow/birth idea brought forward by Brooke Radloff. https://www.facebook.com/Integralpregnancy
