Midwifery care
is holistic in nature, grounded in an understanding of the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological, and physical experiences of all humans. Midwifery care is provided to clients on the basis of shared decision making and informed consent to all treatments.
Labor
In labor and delivery our purpose is simply to accompany women and their partners in their needs. we have designed 8 preparation sessions for childbirth that is divided into three stages,
1) warm-up exercises (dance, or yoga, exercises of circulation and irrigation,
2) utilizing your own voice in childbirth
3) other dynamic movement.
Birth
Birth. It is the culminating day, where the couple is already more than ready, and it is simply the outcome of all the previous preparation, and the couple knows what to do, because they remembered their roles as a future mother and future father in the pregnancy. It’s important to have a safe space with heat, darkness without speaking, eating, drinking, all this will help the woman to have 100% of her balancing hormones that will be responsible for triggering labor. In fact, the couple knows that childbirth is only a physiological process, that it is more a function of the body, that in pregnancy women lose a little of their short-term memory, since long-term memory is activated and thus the body of the woman connects with the ancestral mammalian brain and if she remembers why she feels it that way it works she trusts her body and her baby and in intimate conditions she will always know what to do. Basically our job is to remind them several times that she and her baby and her partner have that ability. This work is solely preventive.
