BIRTH WORK
DESIGNS
Materials, resources, services, and books for expectant parents, doulas, childbirth educators, and midwives.
HI, I'M CAROLYN QUINN REISMAN
ABOUT
With over 30 years experience as a midwife, my passion for supporting women and families during pregnancy and birth has evolved into a sustained focus on writing and illustrating. This path ultimately led me to create Birth Work Designs , an education-centered site for both parents and professionals.
​
Whether your a mother seeking guidance or a midwife, doula, or childbirth educator navigating the professional landscape, I have the knowledge, experience, and resources to help you achieve your goals.

A MOTHER'S BIRTH JOURNEY STARTS WITH PREPARATION
Studies show that parents who prepare themselves for birth by reading or taking classes are more likely to have a vaginal birth than those who are not prepared. Families are not always sure what to expect when labor begins, and many birth myths have established fear and anxiety in our society. Birth Work Designs helps parents know what to expect during birth and builds confidence in the birthing process.

CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION & MIDWIFERY MATERIALS
Birth Work Designs offers a range of charts and informed consent forms for midwives, as well as educational handouts for childbirth educators, midwives, doulas, and parents.
We also offer a childbirth curriculum to use alongside the childbirth education book, Navigating Your Birth. Providing a comprehensive childbirth education book, along with supplemental childbirth education materials, can give mothers more confidence before birth and the tools to support themselves and their child postnatally.

SUSTAINABLE MIDWIFERY
Sustainable midwifery promotes not only optimal health for women and families but also long-term well-being for midwives.
​
Empowering Midwives outlines the steps midwives can take to develop a more promising and equitable midwifery future. It serves as a self-study manual for midwives and students aiming to transform their approach to prenatal care. The program guides you through establishing a successful group prenatal care model, which fosters community support and shared experiences among expectant mothers and families. The program also guides midwives in building a sustainable private practice, allowing them to choose aspects of sustainable care that fit their practice needs.
