"Healing the Earth Through Healing Birth" ~Jeannine Parvati Baker

There is wisdom in Nature.  Look around at all of the marvelous, intricate creations without human planning or efforted input.  We are part of Nature and we too have a miraculous biological blueprint.  Regardless of your spiritual inclination, you can tap into this inherent wisdom.

 

“Birth is as safe as life gets.” (Hartigan) On a cellular and spiritual level, we know how to make and birth babies without much intellectual thought.  In fact sometimes our cognition can get in the way of our primal brains amazing capacity.

 

Looking to and supporting our natural capacity for reproduction helps inform the lowest intervention path towards motherhood and fatherhood.  Homebirth, in its own timing, can greatly increase safety, maternal satisfaction and bonding, and reduce chance of motherbaby separation.  This creates a gentle emergence for our babies and supports birth as a sacred family event rather than a medical emergency.

 

That is our Nature.

What People Are Saying

"Shauna is a wonderful midwife; extremely flexible, and available for whatever vision of your birth experience you have.  Fully present with all of the expertise needed to fully assist, yet sensitive to requests for space and privacy.  She is hands on when you need her and hands off when you don't.  I initially wanted an unassisted birth but my partner felt more comfortable with a midwife present.  Shauna was able to accommodate our needs for both a midwife and the self-sufficient journey of birthing independently!  I could not more highly recommend a midwife who is up to the job."
