“This was my third session with Dancing Star Birth - our first birth classes, then Mothers Unfolding and now Birthing Again. I have so appreciated the thoughtfulness and scope of your programs; I feel like they have truly helped me in my mamahood journey, so Thank you!”
New Ideas
“I now see this as a completely new and different experience from my first and feel I have concrete tools to cope moment to moment during labour, and in life.”
“I appreciated the focus on practical tools for coping, for offering ways to see things in a new light, for healing.”
“I loved how much open time there was to talk about our own experiences and fears and to learn from each other.”
Reconnection
“I am so grateful for today...this is the first time we have spent this much time together in a very long time, the most time we have spent together or separately devoted to this new little being, and we needed this time to gain perspective on the wonderful change our little family is facing...the joy, the bumps, tears, and celebration!”
“An opportunity to imagine, cry, heal & emerge again.”
“If preparing for the first baby is like preparing for a marraige, then the Birthing Again workshop was like renewing our vows; vows to each other as a couple and also to our children, our family.”
“It has been hard to prepare myself emotionally and physically for birth and a second child while still changing diapers on my first! The class gave me the chance to remember that I Am Pregnant and explore the changes to come!”
“Even though my husband had to work this past weekend and I was on my own for the day, it was amazing! I truly didn't realize until I was there sharing stories with Abby and other expectant folks how many expectations and feelings that I was still carrying from our first birth, so for me, this weekend was incredibly cathartic.”
Birthing Again
“I attribute what I learned to making our experience this time so gentle and magical. I am a believer, not only for birth, but in using the techniques you taught to cope with being a mom of two. You are giving people a wonderful gift!”
“It was a short labour and our midwife made it just in time for me to start pushing. We had a beautiful 10lbs 6oz little girl. Somehow, I would have expected this birth to be horribly painful with the short labour and big baby, but it was amazing, and your class helped me overcome the fears I had and for us to communicate better during the process.”
“After the workshop I did some big soul searching and entertained the idea of a home birth after cesarean. When her birth day arrived, it all just felt right, and after five hours of labour she was born at home in our bed. It was beautiful and incredibly healing for me. Thank you for the role you played in prompting me to dig deeper into my birth story from my son's birth and find the courage to trust myself again.”
