Get ready for the very first Birth Without Fear MeetUp in Long Island!

​This will be an intimate day of inspiration, support, and validation the likes of which January Harshe, author of Birth Without Fear: The Judgement-Free Guide to Taking Charge of Your Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum (Hachette Books, March 5 2019), has become known for. Our hope is that when the MeetUp is over, you will leave with more information, a sense of solidarity, and feeling heard and supported.

Start Time: 11:00 am
 -- early registration 10:00 am
