I believe that, for healthy women, birth is a safe and normal physiological experience/event.
I believe that birth is also sacred and spiritual in nature.
I believe that women are strong human beings who are designed to experience birth and are fully capable of birthing naturally.
I believe that babies are also designed to emerge from the experience safely and unharmed.
I believe that good nutrition is an essential component of safe birthing.
I believe that a well-trained and well-equipped attendant offers healthy women and their families a safe opportunity to give birth in an environment of confidence, relaxation, trust, and security.
I believe that beginnings are important, and that a gentle, natural birth is best for both mothers and babies.
I believe babies and mothers should not be separated at birth.
I believe that while giving birth is sacred and important, becoming a mother is a profound honor, a life-long calling, and a great joy.
