Summary
As a caregiver for women, I embrace the essence of "midwife," derived from Latin, meaning "with women." It embodies a commitment to accompany women throughout life's stages, fostering a respectful partnership encompassing emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. I prioritise individuality, empowering women to make informed healthcare choices while offering holistic, compassionate, evidence-based care that respects their autonomy and honors the sacredness of their bodies.
