“In a world with too much information coming at us from everywhere all at
once, this book is an invitation to a quieter, more thoughtful way to approach your pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond.
Katherine combines a carefully curated list of what-and how-to’s with the
wisdom of her many years keenly observing the course of countless people’s
journey to parenthood.
If you are feeling uncertain, this little book will be just the trusted guide
you need. —Dr. Timothy Fisher, OBGYN
“Katherine’s book was the only guide I used throughout pregnancy. It is an incredible resource that is full of information while not overwhelming the
reader. This book helped me make informed decisions throughout my entire pregnancy and childbirth and I highly recommend it to anyone who is starting
or expanding their family!” —Brianna Sclafani
“If you’re one of the lucky expectant parents reading this book, then that means that Katherine has graced your life with her deep wisdom. This book
is a trove of knowledge based on the experience of a truly masterful midwife who has helped thousands of families achieve transformation through
pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.
Katherine’s exquisite talent as a midwife is how she seamlessly blends modern, evidence-based practices with those that are timeless and community-based, and that talent shines through in this book. She is a master of the art of digging deep, of acknowledging that birth is as much about learning from within as it is about learning from without. This thoughtfully structured book will help the expectant mother and whole family to not only make decisions about their birth and baby, but will help them develop their intuition regarding their journey into family building. Readers will learn how to integrate the experience of pregnancy and birth from a place inside them and that is truly the greatest form of knowledge there is.
From statistics to storytelling, this book has every lesson you will need to go into birth and parenting feeling grounded, informed and transformed.”
—Taryn Assaf, Briar Hill Midwives, Calgary Alberta
“Transformation Through Childbirth takes you on an intimate journey, guiding you from the earliest whispers of new life through the crescendo of labor
and the tender embrace of postpartum care for you, your newborn, and your family. Katherine Bramhall’s eloquent words and wisdom weave a tapestry of
empowerment, reminding you that each step, each contraction, is infused with the potential for profound growth and transformation.
With wisdom drawn from her own experiences as a midwife and a deep reverence for the sacred process of birth, Katherine invites you to embrace
love as a guiding force. This book is more than a guide—it’s a manifesto for the transformative power of love, both in childbirth and in parenting. As you
embark on this journey, may you find solace in the depths of your own heart and the knowledge that you are supported by a lineage of love and care that
Katherine provides that spans generations.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro, LCCE, AdvCD/BDT/PDT(DONA), Host of the Orgasmic Birth Podcast
From Clients who used the book:
“Katherine’s manual delivers practical, easily digestible guidance for both the pregnant person and their birth partners. Her empowering approach
fosters confidence rather than fear and helped us feel confident and prepared throughout our journey.” —Charlotte Leary, Pelvic Physical Therapist
“This book was the perfect guide. It gave you enough detail to let you know what to expect without concern for more. It also was great for the hubby.
He was able to scan it without feeling like he had to sit down for hours! We plan to use it every pregnancy.” —McKenzie Begnoche
“Katherine Bramhall is a rare breed of practitioner in this day and age who is able to blend equal parts of kind heart and pragmatic science in order
to give women and their families the kind of maternity care that is very quickly becoming extinct in today’s society. When one is with Katherine, her
attention is on nothing else but you, your family and the health and welfare of your baby. She brings out the best in women and provides a safe emotional
AND medical space for them to have the kind of pregnancy and birth that is right for them. She works diligently to forge excellent relationships with
hospitals and providers in the region so that she can serve families within the system, not outside on the fringes. Her care is respected among health
professionals in the region as a result. I have been able to reclaim the beauty and confidence of motherhood, thanks to the care I received with Katherine.
I would highly recommend working with Katherine as you embark on your journey into motherhood and familyhood.” —Julie Bond
“The wisdom, love, and years of experience that Katherine brings to her clients is unlike any other midwife in this area. My husband and I always felt
heard, seen, respected, and loved when it came to our care throughout this pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Bringing a baby into your life is so much
more than the physical act of pregnancy and birth, it’s about your life and your family and the well-being of all members in it. Katie acknowledged this
and helped us prepare mentally and emotionally as a family as well as looked after my physical care. From the moment I spoke with Katherine for the first time, I knew she was the woman I wanted to help me bring my babies into the world. Her knowledge, experience and professionalism, but more importantly her understanding of the emotions that surround becoming a mother, left me feeling nurtured and supported in a way that I don’t think I could have felt with anyone else. So much love for this incredible superwoman and how I miss her! I was nervous when I was trying to decide on a midwife, but after meeting Katherine I knew immediately I made the right choice – I felt right at home. She is warm, funny, honest, gentle, and very loving. She took extremely good care of me and my baby throughout my pregnancy and birth. I am so so so grateful. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!” —Hannah Bean
“Katherine is truly a magical human being with undeniable special good energy! I am getting tears in my eyes now just thinking about her. We had
our baby boy 3 years and 5 months ago with Katherine there for us every step of the way. I started pregnancy care with midwives through a hospital. They told us because I was 34 and should do a nuchal screening, which came back as a high risk for our child having Down Syndrome. The midwives from the
hospital highly recommended an amniocentesis. I said hell no. That was a very stressful depressing time for my husband and me. That is when I
remembered Katherine from working with her daughter. I called Katherine desperate for knowledge from a compassionate tribal-minded human being. We connected instantly because she is so knowledgeable, loving, kind and straightforward. She agreed to be our midwife! We lived four hours away from her so I continued to see the midwives at the hospital. Katherine helped me to understand what was necessary at each prenatal visit. She was so supportive and informative. Finally, our due date came and we headed to Vermont! We were close to her and under her caring hands and the rest was history.
I will never forget her and what she did for our family. Katherine is my hero and has touched my soul very deeply. What an amazing purpose to have in
life! We must celebrate and support our excellent midwives, so they continue to have passion and joy for their healing powers! —Janice Lee Holbrook
