Midwifery care is founded on respect for pregnancy and birth as healthy processes and profound events in a woman's life. The principles of midwifery care include:

Continuity of Care

A pregnant woman works with a small group of midwives who provide safe, personalized, research-based care.

Informed Choice

We promote decision-making as a shared responsibility, but recognize the woman as the primary decision-maker. Clients are provided with all the information necessary to make informed choices.

Choice of Birthplace

Midwives provide care for birthing women at home or in hospital.

Appropriate Use of Technology

Midwives practice preventative care with the lowest intervention possible.
