Ecological Model of Birth from Midwife Verena Schmid

“We know from research that if there is harmony in the team that works together, the health of the mother is better.” – Verena Schmid Cert. Midwife
Here is an illustration and video clip of Midwife Verena Schmid sharing her concept of “ecological human system that helps us to understand  how the mother is very important for the baby but not she alone, that everybody has the responsibility for the well-being of the baby and it helps us to understand also the position of the support professionals and helpers should be.”

      Dear Michal, thank you for your interest, I will be coming to speak in Israel in May 2017. Please contact Rachelle Oseran for more info and I hope to meet you there, or you can also visit http://www.eatpraydoula.com as I teach an advanced birth professionals retreat in Bali each March/April that also would be the perfect opportunity for you to join me too.
