During Naoli's formative years as a young midwife, she apprenticed and worked closely with several elder well-respected rural community midwives in different regions of Mexico. Naoli has always respected and understood traditional midwifery in a way that led her to practice midwifery greatly based on Mexican Traditional ways. From the understanding of herbs, fetal palpation and auscultation modalities, Rebozo birth techniques and other important Mexican traditional midwifery wisdom, to understanding life from its beginnings all the way to the postpartum rituals.
Naoli has always acknowledged and honoured her traditional midwife mentors everywhere she has been, as Traditional Midwives are the mothers of all midwives and could also be considered the grandmothers of Obstetrics, if one is to consider that midwives have been active and alive solving birth challenges and caring for women for centuries before obstetrics appeared as a specialty of medicine.
