Welcome to the first edition of the Dar A Luz WHS monthly newsletter.  Dar A Luz in Spanish translates literally as “give to light”. It is a common term used in certain areas of Mexico and South America to describe giving birth to a baby; women birth their babies into the light.  Dar A Luz chose this name because it aptly describes our view to overcoming the birth crises in America which is rapidly infecting other countries.
Providers have partnered with women in effort to shed light on the routine use of non-evidence based healthcare peddled out in U.S. hospitals. Women are choosing to arm themselves with the knowledge of evidence based research regarding their pregnancies, birth and best clinical practices. Knowledge is power! These empowered women no longer blindly follow the endless maze of unexplained care promoted by providers and hospital protocol. Instead, they carefully seek out healthcare providers who believe in physiologic birth, providers who give them more knowledge, and providers who partner with them as they make informed choices. Thus these women truly are giving birth in the light, the light of knowledge!

It is our mission to help every woman obtain the knowledge she needs to birth in the light!
