Our belief is that grounded transparency is a key ingredient in a successful and trusting relationship between each client and midwife. We view health, pregnancy and childbirth as a normal and a uniquely personal process, knowing that when this truth is honored and reflected by a skilled and loving midwife, this model of care gives all people and families the chance to make sound, informed, safe, supported and educated decisions about their bodies and health that feels in alignment for them. There is a normal physiological, emotional and spiritual unfolding of pregnancy and birth that is fueled by mother and child and with it carries the capacity to enhance the best outcome for both with no unnecessary interventions.
Choosing an out of hospital birth is choosing to harness and hold your birth in your hands. To make decisions from the heart of the intimacies of your individual needs. We hold this and one's own sovereignty over their own body and health with great reverence . We believe in listening to you as well as equally listening to your baby, as they are just as equal and active a participant.
In your appointments we are not only tracking the physiological unfolding of your pregnancy and postpartum we are also diving into the layers of your unique family systems and your emotional, spiritual and mental well being. By tending and prioritizing all of this we are able to build a rooted and co-regulated relationship of trust and honesty. The strength of this container together is the foundation of your initiation that is birth and postpartum.
The birth of a baby lays at the gateway to the transformative process of parenthood. This is a profound initiation for any person and family to go through whatever baby it may be. Each one holding its own innate wisdom of life and bringing the powerful gift of full embodiment of oneself. Community Midwifery is committed to maintaining and being ushers of exactly this so that you can have the experience each growing family deserves.
