JASIRI MIDWIFERY
PHILOSOPHY
We believe that people should birth, first and foremost, where they feel safe and cared for. We regard birth as a sacred and monumental event that typically requires little to no intervention. We provide families with evidence-based, culturally competent information so that they can make informed decisions for their health and wellbeing from a place of knowledge rather than fear or mis-education. We believe in and practice the midwifery model of care which centers the physical and emotional needs of the birthing person and allows for the normal physiological process of birth to unfold.
