Beatrice's Birth

This is the home water birth of one of my birth doula clients in San Francisco. She practiced hypnobirthing through her whole pregnancy, took Rachel Yellin's hypnosis based childbirth preparation class and my prenatal yoga classes. Her homebirth midwife was Sue Baelen of Sacred Body Midwifery, who was assisted by Leah Redwood and Rebecca Plum. The voice that you hear in the background talking her through her surges is me. This was her first baby.
