I have personally been dealing with residual problems and feelings from a horrible birth experience on all levels, persistent physical, medical problems, emotional (trust, abuse issues) as well as spiritual pain.

Although I have spoken my heart to those involved with my birth, this article speaks so much more elegantly and with power than I could ever write.... This is such a valuable piece of information that I wish to share for those involved with my birth on 11/29/98. Thank you so very much for your time.

I plan on teaching couples on an individual basis, not in traditional group settings. To facilitate the professional/therapeutic relationship, I plan on having introductory folders ready for my series of classes. This folder will have policies and a financial contract as well as a brief philosophy statement, a copy of my resume, and a brief personal and professional bio on myself and what has led me to the work of birth. With something tangible in hand and a face to match the words, I feel this will add value and credence to the fees charged! Sheila McBarron, RN Quincy MA. smcbarron@worldnet.att.net |
