BirthLink Information & Resources

Guidelines for Using the Resource Directory

Please note: You will find valuable information in each category. Only some of the categories have provider contact information. The best way to get referrals and birth information is through contacting Jo Anne Lindberg, president and founder for more that twenty years. Call or email her from the contact page. She is also offering Informed Birth Consultations for parents who want to make informed decisions and have healthier, happier births along with personal referrals. Traditional Asian medicine based health coaching is also available.

You’ll save time and energy if you can identify your needs and desires before you begin searching. People seeking nonintervention-oriented births or natural childbirth need to choose a midwife that will support this option or else you will be unlikely to achieve your goal. It’s important to pay special attention to what the practitioner’s philosophies and practices are. We recommend that you interview at least 2 – 3 providers before making your decision.

Orchestrating support for your pregnancy, labor and birth is a learning process. We recommend you welcome this opportunity as part of the experience of becoming a parent. Midwives listed on this web site have a variety of practice styles.  Their level of commitment to non-intervention oriented birth, uninterrupted bonding and breastfeeding will vary.

Remember that BirthLink is also about a wellness model for health care. This means taking a proactive approach to chronic health challenges so that you have many options for treatment. A preventative approach means seeking some type of treatment while you are well. If you are having health problems listen to your body and take action. Not sure what direction to go in? Let us know. We can help direct you.
