Ina May Gaskin, from her Tennessee commune, almost single-handedly inspired the rebirth of midwifery in United States. For over 25 years, The Farm Midwifery Center has provided a very special service for mothers, babies and their families. Women are treated with love and respect, empowering them to fulfill their desire for natural childbirth in a sane and safe home setting. The holistic approach provided by The Farm Midwives addresses not only physical but also emotional, spiritual, sexual and cultural aspects of each individual. They believe that childbearing is a significant event for every family and that every mother has the right to a safe and satisfying experience.

No one can tell another the best way for her to give birth. This must be decided out of a deep inner quest.
