As no two human beings live the same life journey, no two have the same birth journey.  Our arrival  is  as unpredictable as our journey.  It is the job of a midwife to welcome the incoming soul, to honor and protect the journey of the human entering this realm, as well as to protect and honor the journey of the person birthing.

Human beings are autonomous over decisions about their own bodies, as the body houses the soul.  Upon coming into this world, we are given an intuition, a knowing about what is right for us, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  It is the job of the midwife to educate, provide choices, and honor decisions people make about their bodies with skilled hands and watchful eyes.

Birth is to be honored. It is the day the soul begins its journey and the mother is transformed.
