Frequently Asked Questions

+ Are you currently taking homebirth clients?

No, at this time I am not actively taking homebirth clients. If you are a repeat client and desire that I be a part of your birth, reach out and we can talk about options.

+ Tell me more about the Community Midwife Training

Paths to community based midwifery (home or birth center as opposed to nurse midwifery) include several paths from the highly academic options (college degree) to traditional midwifery (think the village midwife of old teaching the younger apprentice the needed skills). One modern path that lies between those is a self study approach often paired with the Portfolio Evaluation Process (PEP) from NARM. The courses in this program direct the student's study through a systematic sequence of learning to build foundational midwifery knowledge no matter her planned path to credentialing and includes grading and mentoring.

This program is not affiliated with any credentialing agency.

+ What topics are covered?

The student midwife will learn how to guide a woman and her family from conception to postpartum, in wellness and illness/complications. All topics listed in the NARM CIB will be covered. In addition, study tips, networking, business set up, and burnout prevention will also be covered. This program will get you ready for your credentialing exam and get started in your own practice once you're licensed.

+ How is your program different than others on the market?

This course is politically neutral, biologically sound, and woman centric. Students are welcome to submit answers to study questions that fit their culture, worldview, and politics but will not be asked to ascribe to any "side" in the culture wars.

+ Do you need beta testers?

Yes! There are limited spots beta testers needed for each course, so enroll quickly to secure the lowest pricing, which is offered to beta testers in exchange for feedback.

+ What other classes do you offer?

Very soon a class will be offered for those needing to understand all of the educational paths to becoming a Certified Professional Midwife. Future classes will be offered for parents needing childbirth education as well as additional classes for midwives (one on Texas state laws/rules as well as other topics).

+ Do you make your own herbal products?

Yes! I have lived a holistic lifestyle for nearly thirty years. In the last decade I've studied herbs and their preparation and taught classes on making tinctures, salves, teas and infusions. It gives me great joy to share my cherished products with others.
