Our Services
What is Traditional Midwifery?
Traditional midwifery is a culturally grounded practice that respects the unique traditions, values, and health sovereignty of a woman bodily autonomy. Midwives in this tradition offer personalized care, drawing on herbal remedies, ceremonial practices, and ancestral birthing techniques passed down through generations. This care is tailored to the needs of families, fostering a safe, empowering, and culturally affirming birthing experience.
Services provided by a traditional midwife may include:
Prenatal Care: Regular check-ins to monitor the health of mother and baby, incorporating traditional practices such as herbal teas, massage, and spiritual guidance.
Labor and Birth Support: Assistance during childbirth in home or community settings, emphasizing natural birthing methods and cultural rituals.
Postpartum Care: Support for recovery, breastfeeding, and newborn care, often including traditional healing practices to promote wellness.
Community Education: Sharing knowledge about reproductive health, childbirth, and cultural traditions to strengthen community resilience.
Why Choose a Traditional Midwife?
Choosing a traditional midwife means embracing care that is deeply connected to tribal identity and values. Benefits include:
Cultural Continuity: Midwifery preserves and celebrates traditions, ensuring that birthing practices remain rooted in community heritage.
Holistic Approach: Care addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, creating a balanced and nurturing experience.
Health Sovereignty: Families maintain control over their birthing choices, free from external medical systems that may not align with cultural values.
Community Connection: Midwives strengthen family and community bonds by involving loved ones in the birthing process.
