Art of Nursing Care midwifery is
opening a new birth center at the end of April, 2013. It may be a coincidence that the creation of The Art of Birthing
Center comes at a time when the world itself is in the process of regeneration—but
we really feel like we’re in sync with spring! Tuning into patterns of deep
harmony isn’t just part of our belief system, but what we think birth is all
about. Our new birth center will give the birthing woman a place where she can center
herself and tap into the deepest rhythm of all—the one within her own body.
Spring is a time of exuberant life,
when what before grew unseen flowers into being. It is also a time of renewal
and healing. Amy Tinney, who created the Art of Nursing Care in 2006, has been making
a full recovery from recent health issues. This transition has allowed her be to
fully engaged in the process of opening the new birth center. Amy has also been
expanding her knowledge of homeopathy by becoming a licensed practitioner.
The new center will include some old
and new faces. Sarah Shealy will continue to offer care with us. In addition to
her substantive work in midwifery, Sarah is a renowned lactation consultant. Her
passion for helping birthing women is expressed in her expertise. Sarah brings
confidence and compassion to the labor process and postpartum period. She will
continue to give mothers the best care possible.
With the help of Marina Alzugary and Krystel Viehmann we’re
expanding not only our facilities but our practice as well. It is with great
happiness we welcome these two new members to our team. Marina Alzugary brings
her passion—and long experience—as a midwife to the Art of Nursing Care team. Her
belief in the loving nature of midwifery resonates with our new birthing
facility. Giving birth is the ultimate act of love. It makes sense to us that
birthing women should feel sustained by lots of affection themselves!
Our other new member, Krystel Viehmann, is coming onboard this
summer as a certified professional midwife. Krystel is incredible. Over fifty
families have depended on her strength and focus during their delivery. Those
new parents attest to her as a bedrock of support and strength. We do too—her
last apprenticeship was with us here at Art of Nursing Care. She has a deep
reverence for the birthing woman.
Like Krystel, our new birthing center will give mothers and their
partners strength. Gentleness. Parents will be sustained by our absolute
support as they in turn nurture the precious new life they have created.
Dr. Hillary
Martin is a naturopathic doctor who will be available to see patients at our
new Art of Birthing center. She’ll be offering both pediatric and general care.
Her training as a credentialed naturopath doctor gave her the tools to be a
phenomenal primary care physician. She teaches her patients to create health
and well being by enabling them to activate their own bodies’ natural healing
mechanisms. Just as the body has everything it needs to go through the birthing
process, it has what it needs to heal itself from problems of imbalance. Dr.
Martin helps her patients to do that through lifestyle changes and natural
therapies. Linking emotional wellness and mental health, her approach is
holistic and effective.
Bringing new life into the world is
a natural process. Yet it is also one of the most beautiful. Our new the Art of
Birthing Center reflects this in the lovely new birthing suite, complete with
two brand-new birthing rooms. Our new facility gives women and their partners a
place where the birthing process is natural, peaceful and exactly what their
family needs. The Art of Birthing center embraces birthing women within the
sacredness of their own birth experience.
The Art of Nursing Care is excited to continue facilitating the
beautiful and transformative process of birth. We’re not pregnant but we can’t
help feeling happy and expectant too! Maybe it’s just that spring in the air.
