Birth With Love Midwife Services
Philosophy of Midwifery
Vision Statement:
My goal is to provide a safe and healthy birth experience for a family that is well prepared.
Philosophy of Birthing Process
There are a lot of preconceived ideas, fears, and “old wives tales” surrounding pregnancy and birth. My philosophy is that God created the human body and created the process of reproduction to work naturally. Birth needs to be treated as a joyous life experience instead of as a disease. My job as a midwife is to work with and help the expectant family to be as healthy as possible - physically, mentally and nutritionally - and to give them the freedom to experience birth in a safe manner that is most suitable for them. Every family is unique, and therefore requires respect for their unique choices. I encourage them to read and make informed choices about their birth plan. God provides a number of maternal instincts for the birth, and as women, our bodies know what to do. It is important to listen to what our bodies are telling us, and work with the process, being confident in our inner strength.
