My goal is to help support, educate, and empower women in their birth choices, without judgement. There are many who share my vision. If you are seeking a local birth professional, this directory can help to facilitate local connections. I am providing this page as a public service and do not personally know and/or endorse each of these individuals. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to interview and assess the specific qualifications/methods of the birth professionals in determing who can best support you! Wishing you all the best on your journey.
Birth professionals interested in being added to the directory should contact me at cindy@birth-smart.com or http://www.facebook.com/optimal.maternity.care. Thanks!
