You Were Made For This

As a midwife, I believe in a woman's ability to make decisions about herself and her baby, and am honored to participate in nurturing a beautiful event in their lives where they should feel encouraged and strengthened by those serving them.

The Midwives Model of Care

The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and  birth are normal life processes.

​

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

  • Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

​       

 The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
