Midwifery Standard of Care
A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) is an independent practitioner
who has met the standards for certification set by the North American
Registry of Midwives (NARM) and is qualified to provide the Midwives
Model of Care. The NARM certification process recognizes multiple
routes of entry into midwifery and includes verification of knowledge
and skills and the successful completion of both a Written Examination
and Skills Assessment. The CPM credential requires training in
out-of-hospital settings. As CPMs we uphold the highest standards in
midwifery care. CPMs are trained to recognize and screen for potential
problems. If at any time during your care complications arise, which
contraindicate a safe out-of-hospital birth, you will be referred to a
physician.

Our Birth Philosophy
It is our belief that the childbearing cycle is, for the majority of women, a healthy normal function, best completed with minimal interventions and
maximum education and support. We believe that optimum birth experience is best achieved when a midwife and client work closely together and share
the responsibility for a successful outcome.
Informed consent is used for making decisions regarding care. Clients are given information and resources to research all procedures and tests which
enables them to look at pros and cons for traditional care vs alternative care. Clients then can be well informed about their healthcare needs and take
charge of decisions made concerning them and/or their newborn.
Each family is unique and will be treated as individuals, with respect and flexibility. Every mother will be given the well deserved opportunity to labor
and deliver in the manner and position in which she chooses. Every baby will be provided the best possible, gentle transition from the womb into the
loving arms of mom.
