Midwives start their careers with so much passion, but not so much support.

Why?

Midwifery is vital. We support birthing people to come into their power, we can keep pregnancy and birth low risk, decrease costly and traumatic interventions, and we shoulder the responsibility of other people’s health and lives every day. To say the least, we’re pretty darn important but I don’t think we learn enough before we’re deemed “competent”and expected to practice independently!

For example, only a small portion of what we need in everyday practice is taught in midwifery school. We have our apprenticeships, too, which are indispensable but then as soon as we complete our required number of births, we’re sent out into the world with no more mentorship even though it is still needed! Proof? I participated in 123 births in my apprenticeships and internships combined and never, not ONCE was able to manage a shoulder dystocia or a resuscitation! That results in a lot of stress, self doubt and just ok care!

I think midwifery is so important that I have taken a step back from my birth practice to work on Midwifery Finishing School to bring more practical knowledge and resources to new midwives. No fluff, just a well organized collection of 18 total hours of lecture on all the things I didn’t get in school or apprenticeships and handouts for you and for your clients to both make your job easier and make your care better from the get-go. Plus MFS was just approved for 9 hours of MEAC CEU’s!

I can’t wait to share what I’ve created with you!
