Birth
I am honored to work with women who choose to be informed and claim the experience of their birth.
Birth can take place in a private clinic, in The Birth Center or at home.It is important to choose the environment where you feel comfortable, safe and confident. In any case, the partner also has a very important role, if he/she wishes.
Physiologic Birth
Physiologic birth has positive effects on the empowerment of the woman giving birth, on bonding with her child, on the relationships within the family and consequently on society in general, since the beginning of life happens under optimal conditions.
In addition, natural birth offers significant health benefits forboth the woman and the newborn. You are the one who knows your body better than anyone else.
My role and my responsibility is, through the relationship of trust that we will co-create with you and your partner, to accompany you and support you on the journey of your pregnancy, your childbirth, your postpartum period, and during breastfeeding putting your and your child's health and safety as a priority. I support you in your needs physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, as much as you need.
I become both a guest in your journey and a companion by your side, offering you the personal and individualized support you deserve. I share my knowledge and professional experience with you, as together we shape your care plan.
My responsibility is to observe and assess the normal course of pregnancy and birth, to address situations I am trained for, and to seek medical support whenever it is needed. For this reason, I work within a network of trusted professionals.
Midwives are professionals who are trained and dedicated to supporting women through this particular time in their life.
