There are many ways to explore the life of being a birth professional and this group is the vision of Natural Lullabies. These guidelines are defined based on a system where we work together in honesty and transparency with respect for differences while also recognizing the importance of having similar goals and philosophies.  While these particular guidelines have been defined as a way to put words around one group’s philosophies about childbirth, we also recognize and honor those who choose to help others with birth outside the scope of these guidelines.  The following Standards of Care are important to each of the members of the NL Birth Professionals.
