Welcome to the month of love!
It’s a beautiful time to reflect on the buzz of the holidays and the changes in weather keep us indoors more than usual.
For expecting moms, it’s a time to reflect on the progress you’ve made and cultivate a sense of gratitude for the miraculous changes your body is going through. Love for baby seems obvious, but it’s the love we offer to ourselves during this time that generates a significant sense of peace and well-being.
Ask the Midwife – 2 common question I get asked are:
- “Do you encourage all women to have a homebirth?
- “Can any woman have a homebirth?
First and foremost, I believe in a woman’s right to be empowered, informed and supported in however she chooses to birth.

Now, I promote a homebirth model of care. This means that we support physiologic birth without disturbance when all is well; we do things as naturally and holistically as possible, without intervention unless medically necessary. The care is sensitive, kind, personalized, family centered and evidence based. The setting is as close to home as a woman desires, and most importantly, a woman feels supported, heard, and her choices respected.
