What is a Birth Circle?
Your Birth Circle (also called a Birth Family) is a loving and suportive "circle of care;" a community of resources, friends, practitioners and loved ones to help you through your childbearing year.
These knowledgeable women provide support, education, emotional and mental wellness and material resources. Increase your positive pregnancy, birth and parenting experience by building your Birth Circle!
