Elda is a midwife who believes that birth can be a gentle and complete experience for women, with adequate preparation, attention and support. In the current fast pace of life, despite the progress of medicine, securing the physical and emotional care of pregnant women and of new families continues being a priority so simple it can be forgotten. A woman doesn’t need to learn how to give birth; her body is organized and perfectly set for this task. It is important though that she and the people who look after her know how to perform, avoiding hindering her inherent knowledge, her driving force and her way towards birth.
