“Orgasmic Birth” – A Thought-provoking, Empowering Birthing Documentary – Feb. 10th at 7 pm
Orgasmic Birth is a documentary that examines the intimate nature of birth, an everyday miracle, and the powerful role it plays in women’s lives when they are permitted to experience it fully. Couples share their birth experiences, discussing their fears and how they found the support, nurturing, and ultimately the power and strength within themselves to labor and birth their babies in a beautiful, loving, and ecstatic way.
Dr. Dina Sgambati, Chiropractor and mother of two, provides moms-to-be with strategies to conceive, labor and birth more naturally.
Donna Tabas, C.N.M., M.S., the Owner and Founder of North Jersey Midwifery Care, serves the women of Bergen and Hudson Counties. She is a Columbia University trained Certified Nurse Midwife with 32 years of experience working with birthing families
The screening of the film will be followed by a Q&A discussion with our birth experts.

PUPPETONIA – Puppet Shows for Babies and Toddlers
Since its inception, Puppetonia has taught children so much more than just their ABC’s and 123′s. The music and puppet shows incorporate important social skills, early academics, thinking skills, motor skills, and self-expression.
The music is fun and upbeat, and the children are encouraged to move to the rhythm, follow verbal instructions, practice sequential movements, and have a great time. And there are bubbles galore!
