Over centuries, birth as a normal physiological and evolutionary process continues to lose its way among society, technology and the ever growing world of over medicalisation and as a result, it has become dehumanized. In the face of this reality, Back to Birth recognizes, respects and upholds every woman's birthing journey in all trimesters and outcomes, as a holistic, unique, spiritual and transformational experience which has a significant impact on her and her baby for the rest of their lives.
The perinatal period (conception, pregnancy, birth and early parenting) are fundamentally human experiences within which women have universally protected Human Rights. Despite such rights, the nature and frequency of Human Rights violations that women face within the Maternity “care” system is ever increasing, therefore Back to Birth strives to take back and place these rights centrally within every woman’s experience. Women have an innate knowing of what is right for their perinatal experience, however this wisdom and inner knowing is dismissed by modern day maternity “care” practices which are based upon a back drop of social, political, financial and legal factors. When the Human Rights of women are not the foundation upon which maternity “care” is based, obstetric violence, trauma, maternal and infant mortality/morbidity and maternal mental health continue to rise in intensity and frequency.
The support and services offered by Back to Birth come from a place of humanity and the desire to honor birth in all trimesters and outcomes through an understanding of Human Rights in childbirth and the fundamental belief that women can and must be upheld to empower them self throughout their journey. When women understand the “system” in which birth happens today (including their rights, options, what the evidence says and what violations look like) and they are held in full support to apply all of this information to their unique circumstances and inner knowing of what is right for them, they rightfully own their experience. The desire to help "return birth back to its grassroots" lies at the ethos of Back to Birth - birth is all trimesters and all outcomes is sacred, precious and life changing, the impact of which should not be underestimated. We must return to humanity and honor the sacred passages of birth, life and death. Back to Birth is here to bring the journey of birth back to you.
"Birth is all encompassing, physical, emotional and spiritual – it imprints on a woman’s soul and from the moment it occurs a woman is forever changed” (Back to Birth - Bringing Birth Back to You).
