OUR PHILOSOPHY
De la Flor Midwifery believes that pregnancy and birth are a normal physiologic processes. Both pregnancy and birth are significant experiences which require support from family, friends, community and your birth team. It is vital that our clients feel safe, heard and well cared for in order to establish a safe space for discussing all aspects of care.
As midwives we support and protect our clients human and reproductive rights. We also honor and respect cultural, ethnic, sexual and religious diversity.
The care we offer is holistic because we understand that pregnancy is a mind, body and spirit experience. An important part of our work is to equip each person with the knowledge they need to make well informed decisions regarding their care.
