As midwives we are passionate about prevention.
We are skilled in safe, gentle & natural childbirth, and we believe that it is important to take care of the whole self when pregnant. Our goal is to expose women and their families to the idea of functional medicine, and how treating the whole body with care and respect while growing a human being is crucial.
When in our care we address both the physical and emotional needs of women as they progress through pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period often referred to the “4th trimester” we offer the same comprehensive prenatal care as obstetricians and will consult and/or refer you to our back-up doctor or specialist should you present any symptoms outside of the normal range. You are not required to have an obstetrician to initiate care.
If you wish to deliver with All About Birth Midwifery, the requirements are for you to be in good general health and remain low risk throughout your pregnancy.
Care grounded in knowledge, confidence and autonomy.
Empowered midwifery care is about giving you the knowledge, confidence, and autonomy to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and childbirth. We help you feel confident in your choices and abilities.
We provide you with comprehensive evidence-based information, discuss your options, and answer your questions – empowering you to actively participate in your care and to make choices that resonate with your beliefs and desires. Through this partnership, you gain the confidence to voice your preferences, knowing that your choices are respected and supported.
Care is centered around creating a sacred space where you can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings, allowing your intuition to guide you. We believe in your innate ability to navigate this journey and to self-create a transformative and empowering birthing experience that you will cherish forever.
Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding are natural.
Midwives offer standard prenatal care comparable to what is traditionally provided by an OB/GYN, except that midwives generally take more time with their clients, offering emotional support and forming a deeper relationship.
All About Birth Midwifery, practices under the Midwives Model of Care which emphasizes the fact that pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding are natural, normal functions of a woman’s mind, body, spirit and soul. As midwives, we strive to form a nurturing collaborative relationship with each of our clients, listening carefully and participating in shared decision making regarding your individual pregnancy, labor and birth. This model is based on who you are and how your body works. We will work with you to create a plan for a low-risk pregnancy through education, nutritional influences, supplementation, and techniques to reduce daily stress.
Freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives.
We seek to nurture each woman’s sense of personal strength and self-confidence throughout their childbearing year.
We strive to provide a supportive and safe environment for each of our client’s to make decisions about their pregnancy and birth; allowing the freedom of choice based on the knowledge of alternatives. We believe strongly that a woman’s body has an innate ability to give birth safely and naturally and our goal is to provide the support, guidance and expertise for you to have the natural birth experience you want.
An excellent resource for a deeper understanding of how important undisturbed birth can be read Dr. Sarah Buckley.
We believe that being born is important.
Scientific research indicates that what a mother experiences during her pregnancy directly affects how her unborn baby perceives the world.
This research shows how important it is to nurture and grow the unborn in a peaceful, minimally stressed womb. Educating both mothers and the family about this science is a key element in our care. Visit the Philosophy of Pre-and Perinatal Psychology website to learn more.
