I have 3 years of experience attending as doula and apprentice midwife, and adhere to the Midwives' Model of Care:
Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
Minimizing technological interventions
Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention
My own birth was a homebirth, and I believe everyone should have the option to do the same! Available to the Bluegrass and surrounding areas.
