• 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 respect pregnancy as a state of health, and childbirth as a normal physiologic process and a profound event in a person's life.
• I believe in a holistic and dynamic approach which balances knowledge acquired from arts and sciences with experience and research. 
• I believe in individualized, quality care and access to all  who desire accessible, comprehensive midwifery care, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances.
• I believe in utilizing 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 midwifery uniquely honors and respects traditions, beliefs, values, family, and wellness.
