The traditional midwives model of care is holistic, tending to each client as a whole person.  Health is comprised not only of the physical body, but social, spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects as well.  Each client's course of care can be as unique as each perso themselves.  This model of care provides ample time to:  build a relationship of mutual trust and respect; provide complete informed consent; discuss options; and facilitate the processes of shared decision making.
