We provide everything you need
Natural Childbirth
Our approach that demedicalizes childbirth, restores the dignity and intimacy of birth to the mother, and has proven to be the safest approach. We have several options to suit your wishes and needs.
Cesarean Section Prevention
Throughout the prenatal care and in the birth process we make sure that everything is developing properly, we recognize variations of normal and provide information so that the family can make informed decisions. Caesarean sections are always our last resort, because a caesarean section can only be respectful if it is necessary.
