Supporting Family-Centered Childbirth
WELCOME!
CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION ASSOCIATION of ORANGE COUNTY
CEAOC is a California non-profit corporation.
We consist of professionals and parents who support
Family-Centered Maternity Care.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
The Childbirth Education Association of Orange County (CEAOC) is committed to professional and
community enrichment, provides a forum for professional interaction and continuing education, and
offers help to others within the Maternal-Child health care community.   We embrace the ICEA
philosophy: “Freedom to make decisions based on knowledge of  alternatives in family-centered
maternity and newborn care."
2003 Childbirth Education Association of Orange County
"Deep within every woman is the
ability to birth.
When she has the confidence in
her own abilities,
the encouragement and freedom
to tap into her innate wisdom,
and has the loving support of
family, friends,
and professionals who believe
this too,
she will truly have a satisfying
birth experience."
