HomeBorn Health,
Inc. is a family-oriented service. Our goal is to facilitate the growth
of healthy families, both physically and emotionally. We combine the
best of the appropriate medical practices and time-honored traditions
of the midwife in helping a woman give birth in a safe, healthy, nurturing
environment. We promote
the
bonding of the mother, the father and any siblings with the new baby.
We adjust every birth as much as is safely possible to allow the mother
to labor and deliver her baby as she wishes. We continue her care to
enable breast feeding to promote the physical and psychological benefits
for both mother and baby. We further continue the care of the whole
family by providing gynecological services for women, infant exams,
school physicals for children, and physical exams for other members
of the family, including men. A full range of lab exams, including pap
smears and ultrasounds is available. Dietary counseling is offered,
which includes discussion of appropriate foods, vitamins, minerals,
herbs and other supplements, with the incorporation of exercise. Loving
discipline and family relations may be discussed and a number of books
and tapes may be suggested, as well as appropriate referrals to counselors
or other health care professionals when requested or as necessary.
