Being a Community Midwife is a lifestyle; a belief system that holds people as sovereign beings capable of making the best informed choice for themselves and their families.

My birth philosophy is that birth is basic to human life. My midwifery practice focuses heavily on main pillars of a healthy pregnancy and birth: Nourishment (of the whole being), Hydration, Stress management, Movement & Relationships. I believe that focusing on these helps set us up to have healthy pregnancies, births and postpartum time. Also, nature can be a bit of a wild card! So, while we set ourselves up the best we can we also prepare for unseen circumstances. 

Nourishment of body, mind & soul. We can be mindful of what we take in as it becomes a part of us. This includes: food, media and cultural beliefs. Hydration: Water is life. Stress management. Our relationships with self and others: What is your internal dialog?
