Breastfeeding Month, and will be home to the “Improving Birth Rally” this Labor
Day, September 2nd, 2013.
Natural Birthworks will also host monthly picnics and other events to

Natural Birthworks
was founded as a response to increasing nationwide consciousness and demand for
alternatives in birth choices and holistic alternatives for pregnant women,
their families and beyond. Founder
Gelena Hinkley, a state licensed and certified professional midwife, founded
the co-op when she realized just how many women are unaware of the normalcy of
the birth process and the role she plays in controlling her choices and
environment. She states “It is
important that women and families know that birth, parenting, and our health is
something we need to take into our own hands, and with the proper education,
guidance, and access, they are empowered to do just that.”
