Roots of Life Midwifery & Services

An amazing group of providers, "The Birth Bunch" have come together to share the highlights of their specialty. Collectively offering education to strengthen the connection with the evolving body.


Acknowledging that YOU are the expert of your body. 


The 3 part series focuses on the 2nd Trimester, 3rd trimester including birth and the 4th Trimester! The sessions are designed to be inclusive of any person/couple excited to learn about the whole body. Yes, this includes people who already have a baby(s)!  Yes, this includes partners ready to embrace a deeper connection!


These providers have supported and listened to many families over the years. This is what they heard....


"How can I get my body back?" ~ "I pee when I laugh and cough. Can you help me with that?" ~ "what if I don't have enough milk for my baby" ~ "My Doctor said I'm anemic. What foods can I eat to help" ~ "I had depression after my last baby, how can I avoid that this time?" ~ "How can I support my partner" ~ "I'm scared of tearing during the birth" ~ "Do I need a breast pump? Which pump should I get" ~ "Can I do anything for my sciatica pain?" 


These and many more questions and concerns will be answered!
