What Is Birth ROCKS?Birth ROCKS(c) is the revolutionary childbirth preparation method that's been taking the world by storm.
"Birth actually does ROCK! It doesn't have to be terrifying and painful. It can genuinely be the most exciting day of your life. I won't promise you orgasms and rainbows, but I can help you determine your coping style before birth so that you and your birth partner can choose and practice the best comfort techniques for YOU.
