Birthing from Within:
Background
In June 2007, Hanna attended a four-day intensive training session in New Mexico with Pam England, founder of Birthing From Within. Although Hanna has been a Lamaze-certified childbirth educator since 2005, she was inspired to explore the Birthing From Within philosophy because of its emphasis on the process and experience of birth from a cultural, psychological and personal perspective.
Hanna chose to enroll in Birthing From Within’s new dual-certification program, which encompasses both the mentor certification program and postpartum doula training, in order to be able to support families as they make their journey from pregnancy through childbirth and beyond.
Hanna, along with Terri Pickett, co-teaches Birthing From Within Classes at The Learning Center at My Urban Toddler.
