This year has been exciting for the birth community in the North Country. We’ve grown, strengthened, and raised awareness. This has happened through a growing facebook group focused on local birth conversations; in-person Birth Circles; and the interest of our local community. I’m excited to see more people join our community as parents and providers who support birth choices and empowering families through their birth experience.

Let’s see what 2018 brings!
