Becoming a midwife takes so much more than passing a rudimentary test. It requires deep introspection, exploration and nourishing of yourSELF so that you can serve as a healthy leader in your birth community. It also requires tuning in to the sacred aspects of birth so we can create a cultural shift where women are honored in our communities. We incorporate these concepts and space for reflection throughout the courework.

Midwifery is calling you...
Meet the duo behind the Indie Birth Midwifery School
We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit when necessary. With 12 children and 18 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth Midwifery School is our space to share it all with you.
