What is a “living family?” Currently, A Living Family is powered by the passions of Sheila and Jen with support from their loving husbands and inspiration from their children and homebirth experiences. Our goals are: To help expectant parents and all caregivers inform and empower themselves. To provide support and connections to resources. To create community and foster relationships among families.
