Welcome to BirthWays and Embellyshments!

When I first started attending births in 1994, I realized many women had too few positive Kim with her clientsimages and heard too many negative stories about pregnancy and birth. Feeling empowered by their births, many of my clients gave me copies of their birth photos and emphatically told me to share their stories with other women. I started to bring a photo album to prenatal visits with my doula clients. I shared photographs of water births, of partners catching the baby, of children watching intently, of births by candlelight, of women birthing while standing, squatting, or on their hands and knees, of women catching their own baby and I shared their stories.

I do this because I have seen the difference information and education can make. I do this because my clients have asked me to share their stories and to inform others of available choices. I do this because I think pregnancy and birth are sacred and should be honored. I do this because it makes a difference. I hope BirthWays helps you find the information that you need to make informed decisions.

This is a small homebased business and our daily lives sometimes keep us from answering email everyday. We will get back to you ASAP and appreciate your understanding and patience.
