• I believe midwifery care best supports the promotion of health in the lives of individuals on their journey through the life cycle.
• I believe and recognize pregnancy as a state of health, childbirth as a normal physiologic process, and becoming a parent as a profound event in a person's life.
• I believe in a holistic, dynamic care approach, balancing knowledge acquired from arts and sciences with experience and research.
• I believe in individualized, quality care, and access to midwives for low-risk pregnancies.
  
• I believe in accessible, comprehensive midwifery care regardless of socio-economic circumstances.
  
• I believe in a shared decision-making process and the rights of the birthing person to informed consent and refusal.
• I believe the birthing person is the primary decision maker.
• I believe in encouraging mutual honest communication.
  
• I believe midwifery uniquely honors and respects traditions, beliefs, values, family, and wellness.
• I believe there are limits for responsible care providers, and if reached, will advise and refer clients promptly.
