   My Birthing Philosophy 



All births are powerful rites of passage for both parents and infants. For women, birth 


signifies their transition from maiden to mother. For the infant, birth is the entrance into


human society out side of the world known in uteruo. Since every birth is as unique as the 


individual, I firmly believe that every birthing mother should be treated with respect to 


her needs, as well as the needs of her family.  Birth occurs best when these rites of 


passage are honored and supported . No matter the location or who attends a birth, 


women need to feel valued, dignified, and empowered, especially when it 


comes to making decisions about how her child comes into the world. Even if the mom 


has an unwanted c-section, this can be an empowering experience if she is treated with 


respect and support. Multiple studies show again and again that a doula's support through


labor and delivery minimize the number of interventions received, decrease the time in 


labor, and provide the couple with nurturing support through a critical time in their lives. 


Pregnancy is a time of emotional and spiritual growth, as well as the more obvious,


physical growth. Because pregnancy and birth are very personal and special times for 


families, I consider it a privilege and honor to assist mothers in birthing babies.
