CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR OF THE SACRED BIRTHING SCHOOL

With over 25 years experience in early childhood education and 30+ more years working as a birth-worker , Barbara is an elder, mentor and teacher dedicated to preserving birth and family wisdom. She teaches several trainings at The Sacred Birthing School including: 18- Wk Birth Doula & Preconception Course, Level II Doula Course, Men’s Role in Birthing, MotherBaby Massage, Birthing The Next Generation, and a Death Doula Course. Words from Barbara:

“Birth is a time of connection, building relationships, exploring personal strengths and abilities, facing fears, team building, growing a family, love and faith in the human body. Life is a journey of unrecognizable magnitude that is guided by the events that take place at the moment of birth.

This beginning step can have an influence for many years to come, perhaps forever. If this first step is full of power, feelings of accomplishment and love, the journey may be smoother, with more joy than sorrow.

If the responsibility for the first step of this journey is taken away by the drugs, high-tech equipment, and a medical staff trained to manage birth, the journey may be filled with sorrow as both mother and baby continue to let the drugs, high tech equipment and medical staff take responsibility for, and to manage their lives.”

PRECONCEPTION, PRENATAL & EARLY PARENTING SPECIALIST

Dr. Weinstein’s work with women and families spans over three decades. The origins of her current work as a Preconception, Prenatal and Early Parenting Specialist began with her work as a Certified Childbirth Educator for 13 years, and later a Birth Doula. During this time she provided education and support to women and their families through their experiences of pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period

Ann Diamond Weinstein’s knowledge, research and experience have provided her with a profound understanding of the importance of the preconception and prenatal environment—both inside and outside of women’s wombs—and the way it shapes children’s development in the prenatal period and over their lifespan.

As an educator and coach Dr. Weinstein focuses on stress management and issues relating to preconception, pregnancy, birth, and early parenting experiences. Ann’s book, “Prenatal Development and Parents’ Lived Experiences: How Early Events Shape Our Psychophysiology and Relationships”, offers knowledge, research and theory about the earliest developmental period—from conception to birth, which holds even greater consequences for the health and development of the human organism than was previously understood. Theory and research in multiple disciplines provide the foundation for the exploration of how experiences during conception and time in the womb; during and after birth; and experiences with caregivers and the family system in the early postnatal period impact an individual physically, cognitively, emotionally and socially over their life span.
