Birth. It is everywhere. Literally. Every day with each birth there are new stories to be told, wisdom to be shared and knowledge to be learned. Elizabeth Bachner sees birth in a unique way: As life lessons that help us grow as spiritual beings having human experiences. Childbirth is her prose, her jam, and her calling. We are your safe space for the sharing of those experiences from all different perspectives and many walks of life. Through curious conversation and storytelling, there is always something new to learn about how amazing we are as humans in body, mind, and spirit!. BBJ is packed with practical advice and helpful tips. We will discuss not only the joys and triumphs, but we go there – towards the challenges to learn how they were navigated so you can learn how resilient and strong we are. We talk with the pregnant person, their partner(s), the doula, midwives, OBs, and grandparents – anyone who was part of the birth! We will cover it all – pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Join us to not only listen and be inspired but to feed your mind, open your heart and let your inner Birth Junkie out!!
