PHILOSOPHY
Heaven & Earth believes that birth is a sacred event and an instinctual
process. We believe that birth serves as a rite of passage into womanhood
and that Midwives are a guiding force in this process helping to empower
women to make quality, informed decisions. Birth is a phase of development
that can open up a whole new level of consciousness. We acknowledge
that birth can be a challenging journey; a journey that is made easier
with the love, support and guidance of a midwife. It is our job to help
students understand the ebb and flow of birth’s rhythms and how these
are crucial to the transformation and change a woman undergoes in the
birth process. It is important for students to realize that allowing a woman
to find her own process of discovery leads to a sense of accomplishment,
empowerment, and fulfillment. H&E believes midwifery is a calling not
just a profession.
