OUR PHILOSOPHY

 

 

OUR VISION

 

 

OUR VALUE

 

 

COMPASSION

Compassion includes love, passion, kindness. We do what we love, we do our work with care and compassion, and more importantly, with our heart. 

JOY

Joy includes freedom to express yourself, freedom to be who you are, and simply just be.
We believe it's important to experience
Joy in whatever you do in life.

HARMONY

Harmony includes peace and unity.
Differences need to be respected and 
we value unity in diversity.

 

We have a dream that all woman can have safe, comfortable and joyful birth. We believe woman can and should have empowering birth. They deserve a birth experience that is graceful and deeply satisfying. They deserve utmost love, care, respect, compassion and support.
 

We know giving birth is about expressing Love and creating Life. We understand giving birth is an act of highest bravery and courage, instead of fear. A birth of a child is fundamentally a spiritual achievement and being pregnant is a spiritual journey that takes union of mind body and spirit.
 

So let us give power and trust back to women. That they are beautiful, strong , confident and capable. That they have all the power and ability to give birth. That they are goddess.

 

When we empower woman, we empower humanity. When we create change through women, we create a better world. And a baby, that is worth among for
