Labor and Birth

One of the top priorities of this site is to provide you with information and options based on evidence-based research for enhancing the ease, pleasure, and safety with which you birth.  We can best refer to this philosophy as “undisturbed birth”, acknowledging that the process of birth can be very simple if we can avoid disturbing it.  Anything that disturbs a laboring woman’s sense of safety and privacy will disrupt the birthing process.  Women’s bodies have their own wisdom and an innate system of birth – safe and efficient for mothers and babies, incorporating an exquisite hormonal orchestration between mom and baby.  When a mother’s hormonal orchestration is undisturbed, her baby’s safety is also enhanced, not only during labor and birth, but also in the critical transition from womb to world.


Undisturbed birth doesn’t mean unsupported birthing, it means having supporters whom you have specifically chosen as loving companions and who are confident in your birthing abilities, who will intervene as little and as gently as possible.  Undisturbed birth gives you the space to follow your instincts and to find your own rhythm in an atmosphere of support and trust, which will help you optimize your birth hormones, aiding you in experiencing comfortable birthing.
