The Pregnant Point serves families during peak experiences in the life-death cycle with a focus on homebirth, breastfeeding, termination, and loss.

The Pregnant Point is not a medical practice, including the medical practice of midwifery. Midwifery is becoming a legally and professionally protected title, globally. Where there are limitations in the scope of medico-legal practices, which lately include midwifery, The Pregnant Point makes no claim to said practices. Rather, we seek to share knowledge around ancient, sacred wellness practices; to create ceremony and sacred space; develop loving community through caring for others; and to facilitate and witness healing and creative process - all originating outside the realm of medico-legal practice. The Pregnant Point maintains relationships with various medical and non-medical practitioners and facilities in order to give referrals as desired and required.

Our purpose is to participate in a planetary shift toward consciousness by being fully present for peak experiences in the life-death cycle. The seed of the Pregnant Point’s philosophy is the belief that whole health is based in personal wellness practices that do not separate the mind/body/spirit and are derived from Self direction. Therefore, the responsibility of developing such practices lies in the heart of the person seeking wholeness.

Education, preparation, and training can be characterized as diverse, holistically focused, and family centered. Included are (on-going) life experiences; both formal and autodidactic education; elder-facilitated spiritual experiences, community discussion groups, conferences, skills workshops, and various forms of mentoring and council, and employment in various relevant practices to name a few.
