| "A baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream
of possibilities…babies are almost the only remaining link
with nature, with the natural world of living things from which
we spring." ~ Eda J. Leshan |

| We believe that birth is a normal process - that mothers and babies have the
inherent ability to give birth and be born. Under normal circumstances,
birth can unfold with very little intervention but requires lots of support
and respectful care. Our 12 years of combined experience as doulas in a
variety of birth settings has shown us that others already have what they
need to give birth. We wish to share the insight we've gained from helping
birth unfold in a variety of settings - home, birth center, and hospital
- with no intervention and with lots of intervention. |

The increase is due to many medical, legal, social and financial factors, including "defensive medicine" and changing attitudes and values of caregivers and pregnant women. find out more here >> "What do you see when you look at a newborn baby, bright-eyed, gazing straight at you? Is there really a person there? Silently frowning or beet-red with rage, can this baby think and feel? For its small size, a newborn makes a powerful, compelling noise, but is it actually saying anything?" find out more here >> |
