OUR PHILOSOPHY

  • We believe that pregnancy and birth are healthy natural phases of a woman’s life.

  • We know that birth is more than a biological process. Giving birth and becoming parents are profound events. We take a holistic approach, valuing emotional, social, and spiritual health as well as the physical health and safety of the mother and her baby.

  • Our care is woman-centered. We encourage each woman to take an active part in her care. We aim to form a partnership with her, giving support, sharing information, offering choices, and respecting the path she chooses.

  • We acknowledge the importance of community and family in a woman’s life. We honor our patients’ wishes about who should be with them at all times during their care.

  • We prefer to minimize the use of unnecessary technology and medical interventions so that women can strengthen their own ability to care for themselves and their baby.

  • We inform women of the latest medical research and information in order to help them make the best decisions about their care.

  • We encourage questions and discussion so that a woman can feel safe sharing her thoughts and feelings with her doctor.

  • We aim to provide the best care that we can and to continually improve.

  • We appreciate feedback on how we are doing. Contact us... or Love Stories
