traditional birth care
This traditional birth care allows for a simple grassroots approach to pregnancy and birth - while being deeply informed and open to receiving the required care for the health of you and your baby.
Traditional birth care is slowly being forgotten in modern birth. So much so, that many women have no idea there is any other ways than the standard allopathic, intervention-led, systemic birth care offered to women today. It is important to remember that the purpose of receiving birth care is for the betterment of you and your baby. All birth care should leave you feeling nourished, connected, safe, and present with your evolving body and baby.
This care is relational, emotional, physiological, and faithful. It allows for full autonomy, choice, education, and resources that align with the natural processes of pregnancy
The gift of birth is one that women have been offered to deepen into their true potential and to provide unbound healing for generations past, present, and future. To birth in freedom and self-autonomy is the cornerstone to trusting ones own life outside of birth, and is intricately designed to prepare a woman for Motherhood.
When we listen to the knowledge of the body, and understand the physiological processes of birth it becomes clear that birth is meant to NOURISH, EXPAND, AND CREATE LIFE ITSELF - not deplete it.
Can we remember what our bodies have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years?
Successful enough that we are here existing. Each and every one of us birthed from the womb of a woman.
This care can be used in addition to standard medical/midwifery prenatal care, or on it’s own. You are the one who gets to choose what is most supportive, necessary, and nourishing for you and your baby.
*This care includes support for all birth experiences, including early birth (miscarriage) & stillbirth

Traditional birth care allows for a simple grassroots approach to pregnancy and birth - while being deeply informed and open to receiving the required care for the health of you and your baby.
It is not medical support, nor a replacement for it, but a different option for care separate from the medical system all together.
It favours natural approaches and minimal intervention when appropriate and integrates all aspects of the pregnant woman’s experience.

Depending on the level of care you are desiring, investment for birth care will vary.

No, it is not.

You can receive birth care as early as you would like! Pregnancy is a big experience for some, and having support can be really helpful in those early days.
Bodywork is only offered in second and third trimesters for protection of sensitive first stages.

I am not a licensed medical provider and do not provide medical care. I do not make decisions for my clients but rather encourage them to make informed decisions as the autonomous, responsible, and trustworthy adults that they are.
