Passionate about Prevention
We are skilled in safe, gentle & natural childbirth, 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 addresse both the physical and emotional needs of women as they progress through pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period called 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 at The Birthing Inn with All About Birth LLC, the requirements are for you to be in good general health and remain low risk throughout your pregnancy.
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 her family about this science is a key element in our care.
