"In a salutogenic birth, families understand their own intrinsic resourcefulness. While the medical or natural birth worker may continue to offer professional support, I believe the focus of birth-work will rapidly evolve to helping families after birth during the postpartum days and months, so families can remain free to develop the power of salutogenesis that they discovered within themselves… A generating power to create life, health, and a sense of coherence that will serve them for the rest of their lives." - Erin Blank
