“No need to reinvent the wheel… I just want to show you how to spin it in your favor.” – Esther McCant

“Women have complex needs during childbirth. In addition to the safety of modern obstetrical care, and the love and companionship provided by their partners, women need consistent, continuous reassurance, comfort, encouragement and respect. They need individualized care based on their circumstances and preferences.”
