My philosophy is simple. It’s not about the epidural! It’s not about the water-birth! It’s not about the Cesarean section! Yet, at the same time, it is about all of these options. Healthy mother, healthy baby- is the top goal, keeping in mind that a mother’s emotional well-being is also vital. I believe in the power of information. Ask questions, know your options. Read, ponder, do your own evidence-based research. Birth cannot be planned or controlled, that is a fact. But, you can avail yourself to childbirth educators, advocates, birth ambassadors and doulas who can help guide you. I am honored to be an educator and to be able to bring power of choice through knowledge. Often my students have said, “Atoosa -you changed my whole view on birth and opened my eyes to options I never thought I had”. Comments like this are the reason I am so passionate about what I do. I am honored and privileged to work in this field and to have the opportunity to help families explore their options. If you want an epidural or a water birth or a C-Section because you “heard it’s better”- let’s chat. This is your journey, and you can navigate the way with a map in your hand, not reading off someone else’s already used one.
