'Peaceful Birthing' Opens Location in Historic Downtown Rochester Art Gallery

Owner Janice Weaver is working to ease the fear of childbirth.

Inside a historic art gallery in downtown Rochester, women and families are learning about the power of a "peaceful" birth.

Janice Weaver, owner of Peaceful Birthing, has opened a location inside the Cary Art Gallery on Walnut Boulevard. Weaver uses HypnoBirthing to help women ease pain and fear during pregnancy and birth; through Peaceful Birthing she offers classes on natural family planning, cloth diapering, natural hospital birth and baby care. 

"Birth is a beautiful, natural function of a woman’s body," Weaver stated in a press release about the business expansion. "But when women are afraid or unsure of childbirth, it can get ugly."
