RESPECT THE PROCESS OF BIRTH, The Core Values of Enlightened Birth Services

Too often the natural process of birth is ignored by service providers and other people involved in the labor and delivery process. Women in labor need their support team and service providers to understand the TRUE physiological process of labor. As it is vital to maintaining an intervention free birth.
As well, as creating a safe and pleasant experience for both mother and child.
A service provider who applies the same techniques to all mothers in labor, regardless of  the condition of mother and child , cannot properly service a woman and her needs. This is why until hospitals adopt a firm policy to evaluate each individual as one- will continue to achieve mediocre results at  best, for healthy mothers, who desire natural, intervention free delivery.  In the same context of achieving optimum results, a natural service provider must be equality familiar in the physiology of the body and not focus only on philosophical applications of popular techniques. But rather must learn to evaluate the situation at hand at all times. Too often we hear of a “failed” natural delivery, that upon inspection, could have been successful, had the correct, simple and natural techniques been applied. Although not all mothers can be guaranteed, that even after exhausting all possible solutions to getting a labor progressing as desired, everything will go as planned. There can be many that can be helped tremendously by having the right tools in ones toolkit.
 At Enlightened Birth Services, we pride ourselves in being able detect, understand and manage the indications being given by the body as it is laboring and applying the correct support techniques required for a successful natural delivery.
