This site is dedicated to sharing the story and photos of our first son's outdoor birth. It is
intended for educational, inspirational and transformational purposes only. Enjoy!
Note: The following pages contain
graphic birth images. If you would prefer to read the story without the photos, please click here for the text-only version.
Please also read The Birth Rite of Samuel Rune, the story of our second son's birth. This site also features a favorite links page which includes many homebirth and
freebirth resources.
My birth stories (without the photos) are now featured in the
book Journey Into Motherhood: Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth published by hypnobirthing
instructor, Sheri Menelli. This book is a wonderful compilation of many different kinds of empowering birth
stories and resources for expecting mothers.
