Giving birth in your own home
My first exposure to birth was in North Africa where home birth is the norm. Through this experience, God instilled in me a passion to be part of the birth process for other women. After receiving a nursing degree, I worked in a hospital setting for a couple year, and realized that this was not a setting that allowed me to make decisions that were in the best interest of my patient. As a nurse, I was required to follow doctor’s orders that I felt were harming my patients, and the hospital was making policies that prevented the doctors from making decisions that truly kept the individual in mind. So I moved back to the homebirth setting, where I have been ever since. I truly love that I can work with my patients to make decisions - together - regarding their birth that are right for them.
