Our Philosophy

We believe that birthing is an important part of a woman’s life. It is a rite of passage and we trust the process providing continuity of care, support and education with an aim to provide an empowering and positive birth experience. We provide care that is professional, holistic in nature and woman-centered. We have a family friendly practice. We strongly believe that educating women about childbirth and their life-long health is essential to their wellbeing. We encourage informed decision making and believe that education and shared information is the foundation to lifelong good health.
