The Katy Midwife

I believe that all women and all families deserve the care that they are desiring for this most vulnerable time of life. I believe that giving birth is a natural part of life and women have been doing it for thousands of years. Birth is a natural process and function of the female body. I believe that for healthy moms and healthy babies, unnecessary interventions can lead to unnecessary complications. That being said, I also believe that the medical system has a place that is appropriate when birth becomes high risk. I believe that fear increases pain and knowledge is power. I believe that most of the time we can heal our bodies with plants. As for my faith, I am a Christian. I have walked this path with many (hundreds of) different families who believe all different things. I believe it is my duty as well as a passion to hold sacred space for people who are different from me and people who are similar. We are all on our own journey and pregnancy, birth and postpartum is such a time for this journey. I believe that informed consent is a basic human right. I believe that personalized care is the safest care.
