| Stephanie Freeman Birthing From Within Stephanie's journey into the birthing world started in June of 2002, when she took a pregnancy test... saw 2 pink lines... and promptly FREAKED OUT! Now a Mother to two adorable (and challenging and wonderful and angst-causing) little girls, she's been active with La Leche League for over 5 years, and pursued doula and childbirth educator training through the Birthing From Within program over three years ago, through which she is now a Certified Mentor. Like many mothers, she's endured many sleepless nights, concerns about feeding, and the general "What IN the World do we DO now?" parenting moments. She also knows all too well the challenges of finding your own way and navigating friends, family, and social groups who may express well-meaning and strong opinions about how pregnancy and parenting SHOULD be done -- all while hoping to do the best for her own family. Professionally she's been deepening her understanding of how best to listen to parents with an open heart and "empty cup" so she may truly hear them and support them in their individual desires and goals. She finds that to be a practice useful to her life on a daily, and sometimes moment to moment, basis, and for which Harmony is so glad to have her bring, along with her wonderful, lively, and warm energy, to her classes and all of her work with expectant and new moms and families. |
