Biography
I believe the process of childbirth is a normal physiological process, perfectly designed by nature to bring babies into the world. Midwifery is both an art and a science. The art of midwifery consists of sensitivity to the needs of women and families and being able to meet these needs in the most appropriate way. It involves knowing when and how to intervene to promote safety if it becomes necessary, and is grounded in scientific knowledge. Women and families should have as much control as possible in determining their care and should be empowered to be active participants in decision-making and self-care.
