Philosophy of Care

Wellness promotion throughout one's life is the primary goal. For the expanding family whether first or subsequent pregnancies, Pre-conception care begins with a healthy lifestyle, avoidance of environmental toxins and understanding fertility cycles.

Good nutrition

Maintaining a healthy body through exercise and avoiding substances that could harm you and your growing baby. Using the 4R system to promote more optimum health.

30 minutes of exercise daily before, during and after pregnancy can really help optimize wellness, reduce and may relieve discomforts from the physical demands of pregnancy. Using breathing and Deep Relaxation, also known as self-hypnosis, has been shown to help improve circulation, and may also help stabilize blood pressure.

Having compassionate care that is focused on providing support and information to clients and their birth team is emphasized. Breastfeeding is encouraged and supported. Promoting non-separation of baby from family helps with bonding.

Using various modalities for comfort and support during labor, such as hydrotherapy, aromatherapy (see www.mydoterra.com/midwifeali), self-hypnosis and the presence of others you choose to be present to accompany you on this adventure.
