Birth Song Midwifery
Yolanda Visser, CPM, CM
I am a traditional midwife. I like that title. My nitch is the Home Birth setting. I believe that I am supporting a tradition of women and their abilities to birth. Traditions that are empowering, centering and social. Traditions that are becoming lost. My children were both born at home. As they walk away to form their own lives, I'm reminded of the importance of choices and support.

Women who choose homebirth desire a safe, natural and active birth, where they are in charge of their experience. Birthing at home, in your own environment, allows many women to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
