Birthing in Boston was founded by Birth Doula, Perinatal Massage Therapist, Educator and Community Activist Bonnie Rovics.
Bonnie has worked with pregnant people for over 20 years as a perinatal massage therapist, and shiatsu practitioner. She became a birth doula in 2010 and is a certified educator in Hypnobirthing®, Spinning Babies®, and as a Childbirth Educator. She is also currently in training as a newborn CPR instructor.
Birthing in Boston is working towards creating access to Childbirth education in Boston, Ma for everyone. Accessible, local, out of hospital education. Collectively we hold a vision towards a birthing education resource center, board run, collectively owned, with a lens on birthing justice, advanced trainings for birth workers, access to support for parents of all income levels, races, genders and sexual identities. Hosting classes run with cultural competence and a trauma informed space.
We have a wonderful network of educators ready to teach and work out of this space once we can establish it.
