My Midwifery Philosophy

I hold a deep innate trust and respect in the journey of pregnancy and birth. With this trust means I hold trust in the body and baby's way of communicating. I listen to your intuition and I listen to my intuition. I listen to the gentle whisper and the powerful roar. Together as we continue to build a deep connection to this journey and attune to the voice of our intuition allows to follow the path as to support you and baby. I trust that the path will be shown and when presented I shall walk it beside you with guidance and support. 

 

​

Continuity of care is when you have a known midwife care for you throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. 

The importance of continuity of care is to build a trusting relationship between midwife and women to feel safe and supported in the sacred space of your birthing environment.
