What is integrative maternity healthcare?

It is when the medical and the holistic, the contemporary and the traditional, the mainstream and the alternative, all respect how they complement each other, and form a united revolution to create the ultimate in best maternity care. Midwives, particularly, do recognise that complementary therapies such as naturopathy and acupuncture can have significant influences on the normal progression of pregnancy and the spontaneous naturalness of childbirth, and therefore give positive benefits during the postpartum period, to both the woman and baby.
