birthing from within

I am a certified professional trainer with Birthing from Within. I offer private childbirth education classes for parents in person in the Bay Area, as well as classes for birth professionals online. All of the professional programs can also be brought live to your local community or group.

“The [Birth Art] course went beyond my expectations in that I thought I would learn some prompts or exercises to share with clients, what I actually came away with was a deep insight in how to hold space for creative enquiry, how to mentor someone as they move through an inner reflective process, how to drop my ego in my birthwork and how to find the joy in my practice. I’m really grateful for this course & the depth of the teaching provided. I really enjoyed this course & I want to shout out Maeve who just gave so much really valuable insight each session & so much time to individuals whilst maintaining the group, this was so inspiring & how she phrased things each time was just perfect - great learning for me!”
