At The Matrona we offer various experiences and journeys that inform the life and studies of today's midwife and doula.
Our philosophy centers around Returning Birth to the Family.
We believe that the study of midwifery is primarily the study of Life, not simply the study of Birth.
We feel that trusting women, nurturing women, and meeting women and families where they are at
are the tools that allow us to create soul-level connections with each other.
When mother and caregiver experience deep soul-level connections it is not necessary to disturb the birthing process.
We believe that the study of biology without mysticism is flat.
We understand childbirth to be an altered, expanded state of reality and we prepare midwives
to engage those realms and to facilitate families in receiving gifts that those worlds have to offer.
Our main emphasis is the holistic perspectie, characterized by authentic co-creation of the
birthing experience by the family and the caregiver.
In the realm of academics...
We believe that homeostasis rules and that the diligent study of anatomy and physiology
is essential in the study of midwifery and life.
It follows that if we know and appreciate the amazing functioning of the body,
we will not be tempted to disturb the body as it functions in the childbirth continuum.
