Giving birth is a natural process and not a medical condition. My purpose as a midwife is to support and guide this natural event with minimal interference while providing comfort measures and attentive care. I also provide resources and guidance to assist you in your own research so that you can make informed decisions about your care.
A typical home birth is a peaceful, wholesome beginning for the newborn, where mother and baby are immediately united and never separated. Many of my clients find it comforting that the person providing pre-natal care is the same individual that oversees the birth, assists with breast-feeding and monitors the well-being of mother and baby post-partum.
During labor, the mother is encouraged to eat, drink, rest, move about and taking positions that are comfortable for her in her own home.
