| About The Organizers |
 Spinning Babies:
Easier Childbirth with Fetal Positioning Contact: Gail Tully Gail@SpinningBabies.com 952-888-6929 www.SpinningBabies.com The mom's job is to dilate, the baby's job is to rotate. Spinning Babies is an educational website devoted to making birth easier with fetal positioning. When a woman's womb is symmetrical, her baby will settle into the ideal position to fit more easily through the pelvis. Come visit Spinning Babies.  Ten Moons Rising:
Giving Birth to a More Peaceful World Contact: Monica Matos, Founder Monica@TenMoonsRising.org www.TenMoonsRising.org Ten Moons Rising Holistic Family Education is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness about the profound impact that our earliest experiences - in the womb and at birth - have on one's self-image, perceptions of the world, health, behavior and relationship patterns. The way a baby is born determines whether these foundational patterns are created from traumatic experiences (which can be healed) or gentle, loving ones. The way a mother gives birth impacts her confidence, fulfillment and overall sense of well-being. Birth matters!  The Childbirth Collective:
A Minnesota Nonprofit Serving Birthing Families Contact: Teri Pier, CD(DONA), CE birthsteps@earthlink.net 651-245-6256 www.ChildbirthCollective.org The Childbirth Collective is a nonprofit organization with chapters in the Twin Cities, Duluth, St. Croix River Valley, Winona/LaCrosse, and Fargo/Moorhead. The goal of "The Collective," through resources such as free weekly Parent Topic Nights, is to enhance the childbearing year for parents by promoting quality doula support, advocating evidence-based care, and providing accessible education based on the wellness model of maternity care. We are a collective of birth professionals inclusive of Doulas, Childbirth Educators, Midwives, Lactation Consultants, Psychological Counselors, Massage Therapists, and others within the birthing community, providing services to support families, and each other.

| REVIEWS OF ORGASMIC BIRTH |
| Orgasmic Birth is a phenomenal film, with a scientifically-validated
message: that birth is an intimate and innately ecstatic event, as evidenced by the laboring woman's release of ecstatic hormones... It is the perfect antidote to 21st century birth fright. Astonishing, thrilling, and transformative. Dr .Sarah J Buckley,GP/ family physician, Queensland, Australia www.sarahjbuckley.com I had the great honor of attending the initial screening with families
featured in the film. What an incredible experience and what a most moving and provocative film. It should be mandatory viewing for all families and practitioners involved in the birth process. Dr. Larry Rosen, Pediatrician, Oradell, NJ What a wonderful, empowering, hopeful film! My hope is that women, men, nurses, doctors, and pretty much everybody take the time to see this film. This could be life changing. Thank you so much! Jennifer Steele, Doula, Portland OR I loved the film. It's the best feature-length film about birth I have ever seen - and I have seen them all. Carol Gray, Midwife, Portland OR Orgasmic Birth is the perfect blend of evidence-based information and documentary film making. This blend helps the viewer to understand more thoroughly the normalcy of birth and why, 90% of the time, birth is an uncomplicated event. As a nurse with over 30 years of experience, I can say that every birth consumer and professional should see this documentary film and will come away with renewed faith and trust in the process! Connie Livingston RN, BS, LCCE, CD(DONA) President, Perinatal Education Associates, Inc. www.birthsource.com Orgasmic Birth shows what is possible when healthy women feel loved, confident, secure, uninhibited, and cared for during pregnancy and birth. The moving beautiful images leave no room for fear or loneliness, and show birth as the deeply sexual experience that it can be. Thank you, Debra Pascali-Bonaro and your team, for your vision and courage in portraying the ecstatic, sexual, orgasmic potential that exists in birth! Penny Simkin, Doula, childbirth educator, and birth counselor; Seattle WA Finally, the truth about birth - some ecstasy, some agony, but beyond doubt a celebration! Women must know that birth is indeed the ultimate expression of their female power, in all its possibilities. Birds fly, fish swim, women do birth. Elizabeth Noble, PT, Author, Founder of Women¹s Health Section of the American Physical Therapy Association |
