No more superficial, numbers obsessed approaches to this sacred calling.
No matter your experience level, here’s what you’ll receive as a student:
The Incredible Apprenticeship Toolbox
We want our students to be successful in their apprenticeship experiences and the relationships they create with elder midwives and teachers. Finding and maintaining a quality apprenticeship will make the difference between becoming a midwife or burning out.
Pillar #5
The Birth Warrior Toolkit

You will get a firm grasp on these crucial beginning midwifery topics, and we also include rich modules on pregnancy and the postpartum time to round everything out.
Pillar #4
