Jo Anne Lindberg founded BirthLink after recognizing a critical need for parent education regarding birthing options. Giving birth at home was one of the most empowering experiences of her life. After many years as a teacher and small business owner she decided she would follow her heart and create a business that would have a positive impact on families. She noticed that parents are very open to learning new ideas when they are expecting a child.
After many, many years she is no longer offering birth consultations. She wants to focus on promoting her book – Honoring Birth – The Five Phases of the Childbearing year. You can also get a great deal of information from the BirthLink website. Take time and research your birth options so that you understand the differences. There are more choices now than ever. Midwives also practice on a scale from medical model to the midwifery model and in between. It takes time to sort out what matters most to you. The majority of the time no medical intervention is needed.
From Jo Anne Lindberg:
‘Parents can experience the full power of creation. They can create a birth experience that supports birth as a natural physiological process as opposed to having many routine medical procedures. This requires trust in the birth process, the baby and a woman’s body. Our own birth’s are one of the most important events in our life. Birth is a body, mind and spirit process. Birth is as safe as life gets.
May you all have safer more satisfying birth experiences!‘
