Philosophy of Care
I believe that pregnancy and birth are normal physiological processes in which women, in most cases, have the ability to give birth without medical intervention. I believe that every woman has the inherent right to choose how, where, and with whom, she gives birth. I am committed to providing compassionate, women-centered care in which both the midwife and mother are actively engaged in the decision-making process and creating a personalized care plan for you. I feel that it is an honor and responsibility to nurture and create a safe space for the women I serve during the journey to motherhood. I welcome families of all backgrounds and of all incomes and strive to make midwifery care more available to women. It is my hope that mothers choosing home birth are willing to take responsibility for their own health and well-being and that of their baby. It is my hope that in doing so, women will discover the power and potential that birth holds and carry it with them throughout their lives. I also believe that we need more midwives in this country and am committed to the apprenticeship model of midwifery training and to working with students in my practice once I am able to.
The Midwives Alliance of North America states, “The Midwives Model of Care is a fundamentally different approach to pregnancy and childbirth than contemporary obstetrics. Midwifery care is uniquely nurturing, hands-on care before, during, and after birth. Midwives are health care professionals specializing in pregnancy and childbirth who develop a trusting relationship with their clients, which results in confident, supported labor and birth. While there are different types of midwives practicing in various settings, all midwives are trained to provide comprehensive prenatal care and education, guide labor and birth, address complications, and care for newborns."
Midwifery Model of Care
THE MIDWIVES MODEL OF CARE INCLUDES:
"Monitoring the physical, psychological and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle.
Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support .
Minimizing technological interventions and identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.
The application of this model has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.”
