Our Philosophy

Birth is a normal event in the life of a woman and does not need to be over-medicalized.

Low-risk women with healthy pregnancies can have a natural childbirth in their own home under the care of qualified midwives, with no more risk than if they were in a hospital, and with fewer interventions.

The mother shares responsibility in her own health care decisions and those of her baby.
