Philosophy
Pregnancy Labor & birth are sacred life processes. They are Commemorative life events to be cherished & honored.
At Gentle Spirit Midwifery, emphasis is placed on an outcome that is safe, enriched and satisfying to your emotional, cultural and physical needs. Your right to participate in decisions regarding maternity care is honored.
You are encouraged to write a birth plan and make choices regarding care. Within the constraints of safety, you may make choices regarding care during the prenatal, birthing and postpartum periods that allow you the latitude to reflect your personal philosophies and preferences. Unnecessary interference is kept to a minimum. When correcting any imbalance in the mother’s health and well-being, the least intrusive methods are first tried (focusing always towards an outcome of safety.)
