Expert Voices
“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
