Our Philosophy
Birth is a sacred, natural journey that will unfold when allowed to on its own. The intimate connection that is established through personal prenatal care between the mother, the family and the midwife enhances the power to give birth that already lies within each woman. She feels supported and safe, allowing her to birth in her own unique way.
We believe that:
- Birth is a normal process that for low risk, healthy mothers does not require intervention.
- Babies are fully conscious at birth. Their birth and the moments surrounding its unfolding are essential. This is not only for the baby's development as a person, but is of upmost importance in establishing an intimate bond with their family.
- Educating women and families empowers them to make informed decisions regarding their health and wellbeing.
