Stephanie's Story
I have loved to dance ever since I was a child, so when I was pregnant with my first child I kept dancing until and even during my birth. Dance helped me connect to my own womanly strength and primal birth wisdom. It was such an empowering, ecstatic experience that I talked about it nonstop. But I quickly realized that my birth was unusual. I learned that many women expect to endure birth at best, but certainly not enjoy it. I heard many birth stories, most of which involved fear and trauma experienced by the mothers. This was when I first discovered my calling to create Dancing For Birth™ classes to help people celebrate pregnancy, look forward to giving birth, and become parents in the most effective and empowering way possible.
