Midwife Education | The School of Sacred Birth

The School of Sacred Birth is grounded in the intuitive language of women, as well as evidence-based science to support such a paradigm.
Women’s language is deeply personal. It is relational, rooted in the rhythms of nature, and in the knowledge inherent in each of our bodies and souls.
Acknowledging these fundamentals, The School of Sacred Birth delivers a five module program of workshops designed to explore this rich well of feminine wisdom as it relates to pregnancy, birth and midwifery.

The ‘heart’ of the coursework include:

• Understanding what brought you to this work.
• Delving into who we are as midwives when we tap into a different knowledge base than the current patriarchal culture.

​These workshops are intended to be a deeply personal journey of discovery. The coursework begins from the standpoint of the midwife as the first tool of awareness and intuition.
The teachings are also very practical, so that they can be easily applied to each individual’s life and work.

During the course we will:

• Learn skills to use during birth for posterior babies, how to help a baby engage, make room for babies to get into better position, and more.
• Explore touch, acupressure, there will be homework to do and resources to refer to.
• Do meditations and mindfulness exercises.

The program is designed for midwives, doulas, health professionals, pregnant women, and anyone interested in supporting whole and gentle birth and the care of women with awareness, kindness, clarity and presence.
The School of Sacred Birth believes that when we listen to ourselves first, to the woman, to the baby, and to each other, we are then able to tap into a depth of knowledge and trust ourselves, life, the birthing woman and the baby she carries.
The word ‘sacred’ is used to indicate that the birth process deserves wonder and reverence, for it is the passage of a new soul into this plane of existence.

Courses are held one weekend a month for five months.
