Prolonged levels of stress hormones may negatively affect brain growth and neurochemical and hormonal function in the mother and the unborn baby. When we care for women before and during pregnancy, we care for the unborn baby, his future and thus the future of humanity.

Women need to prepare for natural birth in every aspect of their lives, including the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical areas of their being. A woman deserves the right to choose her companions as well as where and how she will give birth to her child.

Pregnancy and birth are normal life events for most women. To this end, interventions should be kept to a minimum wherever possible. A baby who is born gently and welcomed by warm, caring parents receives the best possible start in life.

Women who are well prepared in their minds, bodies and spirits can experience birth as a profoundly moving and empowering event.
