"When someone asks me what my ideal birth looks like, I show them this DVD!  I've watched Birthing Peace again and again, and it still fills me with joy every time I watch it!  What a gift Monique Gauthier has given to women.  If this is the future of birth - and I certainly hope it is - we have much to look forward to!"

    - Laura Shanley, author of Unassisted Childbirth   

“Monique Gauthier's DVD and lecture challenges our mental models around giving birth in America.  The DVD helps college students move from a TV/Medical Model driven portrayal of birth being extremely painful to a more holistic model of birth being a natural process in nature.”
     - Dr. Dan Gerber, Director of the Public Health Sciences Program (UMass-Amherst)

"Seeing other women give birth teaches us how to birth. Monique's beautiful and real videos re-educate my whole nervous system so that I can envision a more natural, peaceful and harmonious labor. Labor can be simple and empowering and Monique helps to hold the space for this."

     - Dr Jen Green, ND. Naturopathic Doctor.

"I viewed the birth video while I was pregnant with my first child and it inspired me! The video demonstrates how natural birth is and how powerful women are. I  have since had two successful home births and I know that seeing Monique Gauthier's video gave me a sense of confidence as I entered this profound life passage."

“Monique is an empowering teacher.  I came away from her workshop altered and ready to embark on pregnancy and childbirth.  Her DVD challenged my life-long fear that my body was inherently flawed and revealed to me the innate power and possibilities of my own body to birth in a sacred, peaceful and straightforward way.”

     -Beth-Marie Gardner, mother of 6-month-old Cleome

“Monique’s video offered me the first images I had seen of a natural and gentle birth that was entirely unassisted. I was amazed that labor and childbirth could be so calm, so present, and sane. When it came time to plan the birth of my first child, I was deeply inspired by Monique’s example of a laboring woman who is totally in her authority, confidently trusting the natural process of birth.”

     - Shira Shaiman, mother of 7-month-old Toby

“Watching the birthing video gave me a model of a peaceful, joyful birth. I was able to witness that birth is not only natural, but can be a powerful transformative spiritual experience. Since I was preparing for the birth of my second child, I was particularly interested in how they included their first child allowing the child to see the beauty of birth and bond instantly with her sibling.  I think it is rare in this country to find a model of such a relaxed birthing experience.
     - Susan Molano, Mother of two year old Grace and one year old Sarah

“Monique's video left me feeling awe and gratitude and inspired me to learn more about birth. it was a gift to witness a birth it its natural form, with a mother who is owning full responsibility for the process with much awareness and faith and courage. this birth created an imprint on me, a deep and beautiful impression which i was able to refer to in making my own birth choices.”
