Natural Birth Midwifery Birth Philosophy

At Natural Birth Midwifery, our philosophy is that birth is
  • Healthy
  • Life empowering
  • Natural
  • Normal
Since every birth is as unique as the individual, we firmly believe that every birthing mother should be treated with respect to her needs, as well as the needs of her family.

Pregnancy is a time of emotional and spiritual growth, as well as the more obvious physical growth. Because pregnancy and birth are very personal and special times for families, we consider it a privilege and honor to assist mothers in birthing babies.

Through encouragement and education, we believe that women and those close to them can understand and take responsibility for principles of good health and good prenatal care. Mothers can then create the best possible birth plan and experience for them, whether they choose to birth
  • At home
  • In our Natural Birth Center
  • In the hospital
We believe that home births are a safe and viable option for healthy women with low-risk pregnancies. Because there are certain risks that can arise during home births, we are pleased to be blessed with good medical support in New Mexico, when necessary.*


We are committed to serving our clients with the best skills, knowledge, and honesty as possible. Because we believe that natural births are often best for mothers and babies, we will refrain from unnecessary intervening.

We do follow the regulations and standards for midwifery care developed by the New Mexico Midwives Association Practice Guidelines, as well as the New Mexico State regulations, which include
  • Screening for risks
  • Consulting with other practitioners when necessary
These standards, as well as our practice protocols, are available for reference, if desired.


*We do not carry malpractice insurance, as it is not currently available for home births in the United States.
