Spiritual Birth Philosophy

Women need to prepare for natural birth in every aspect of their lives, including the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical areas of their being. A woman deserves the right to choose her companions as well as where and how she will give birth to her child.

Women who are well prepared in their minds, bodies and spirits can experience birth as a profoundly moving and empowering event.
