A PEEK INTO OUR PROGRAM

A Comprehensive Traditional Midwifery Program

UTILIZING ANCIENT ART MIDWIFERY CURRICULUM (EST. 1981)

Our Program is designed with busy student midwives and mothers in mind. We know how life can take unexpected turns or back to back births. Our Program is Flexible and Guided. Flexible: If you need to catch your breath for a few days, you won't be far behind or if you need to pause to enjoy your own postpartum, you can! Guided: We move through the modules and assignments together.

How Our Program Works

FOLLOW OUR GUIDED CURRICULM SCHEDULE TO GRADUATE IN AS LITTLE AS 24 MONTHS

We move through the modules and assignments as a group.

When you join you will jump into our current module. As we work by topic, you'll have ample opportunity to gain the needed foundational knowledge to build a complete understanding.

We restart our curriculum every 24 months, continue with us to complete your timeline (e.g. if you join us in module 7, continue the loop with us as we restart so you still complete the first 7 modules that were completed before you joined.)

What You Will Learn
