Being a midwife is so much more to me than a job, it honestly is my soul purpose, my passion is so strong that I could talk about it for hours (ask my partner ryan, sorry babe.)
But for you, ill keep it brief.
What breaks my heart is how our western society has lost the art of birthing. We have lost faith and trust in the physiology of birth, we have forgotten that birth is a powerful initiation that propels women into motherhood, and we fail to acknowledge and praise the intricate hormones that come into play that can make birth an empowering event instead of a feared one.
I would love for every woman to walk away from their birth physically safe and emotionally well stepping into their new roles as mothers with utter calm and confidence.
