Hello Everyone! My name is Donna Moragne-Hanson and I am a licensed midwife in Los Angeles, CA. For me, establishing trust with my client is the most fundamental and most important. My midwifery practice is built on nurturing trust and learning to let go of the things we allow to interfere with trust. I want to encourage trusting in yourself; trusting in your body and the natural process of giving birth; trusting in your baby and their own divinely written birth story; trusting in humanity and the world your baby is born into and trusting in our partnership; as client and midwife. I believe, when a woman is heard, she is seen; when she is seen, she has a voice; and as her midwife I am compelled to encourage her to honor that voice; her voice. In this way I believe I am blessed with an opportunity to fulfill my role as supporter, facilitator, educator and client advocate; the ultimate calling of a midwife. For me, describing the process of birth is like trying to describe a miracle; and walking with a woman as she becomes a mother is even more profound…I am beyond words. Donna, LM, CPM
