The following are some of my favorite resources, and include some of the groups and organizations that I am a member of. If there are any resources that I missed, or that you think would be helpful to add here, please Contact Me.

- The Business of Being Born
- The Happiest Baby on the Block
- Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth* by Ina May Gaskin
