Jessica-Wind Abolafia, BA, Perinatal Birth & Labor LMT, Naples, FL
I was first introduced to Debra Pascalli-Bonaro as one of her students in a DOULA certification class. I was so inspired by Debra’s deep commitment to birth and maternity education and activism that when an opportunity arose with Orgasmic Birth I knew immediately that I wanted to participate. My interest in Women’s Health began at an early age as the daughter of truly innovative and feminist parents who believed in informed choices and early education regarding body and health. I solidified my decision to pursue my degree in Women’s Health after reading Robbie Davis-Floyd’s “Birth as an American Right of Passage” and received my BA in Women’s Studies at Union College. I currently practice perinatal and birth and labor massage and look forward to completing my DOULA certification.

“We need to let all women know the ‘best kept secret’: that women who approach childbirth free from fear and confident in their bodies have every chance to have a positive and empowering birth experience. Pascali-Bonaro’s Orgasmic Birth DVD is very much needed at this turning point in maternity care. Individuals who care for birthing women know the typical birth experience today is costly financially. More importantly, it is costly to the health of our mothers and babies in higher morbidity and mortality rates from too many medical and surgical interventions. The very best way to keep mothers and babies normal is to keep the births normal. In the most delightful serendipity, normal births where women are encouraged to use their inner strength result in an ecstatic, and yes often orgasmic, experience.” Roberta M. Scaer
