FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS FOR MIDWIVES

are you ready to rethink what you think you know?

OUR MISSION

Our desire is to offer to birthworkers, a deeper understanding of the physiology and hormonal processes of normal reproduction, as well as a deep trust in their own unique individualized intuition in their own practice. We have come to realize that most current training in midwifery is deeply enmeshed in the obstetrical model that pregnancy and birth are pathology with the constant fear of 'what can go wrong'. It is our hope to bring the wisdom of our fore mothers back to the foundation of our birthing culture. We believe the foundational concepts used for this training can open a deeper understanding that will enable you to develop confidence in your intuition and embodied knowledge, no matter where this journey takes you

The advice that you should be able to create a reasonable differential diagnosis from your history and physical before ordering tests is essential. Instead of using labs/testing to create that differential diagnosis list. Look at the person.

Private Community

Exclusive early access to our upcoming in person Intensives + online Collectives

This Collective is an online community for those interested in exploring a deeper understanding of reproduction as a holistic and intertwined process. Created in response to requests from midwives and birth workers looking for mentors, peers, and an immersive experience without leaving their homes and communities.

LEARN MORE

We balance the foundational framework for each course we create with a carefully curated curriculum that is flexible to meet each host and their community’s needs and resources. Our core value of building a strong community through relationships is paramount. This is woven into each aspect of our workshops. Without building strong villages between birth workers and in turn, the families they serve, the art of midwifery cannot be the strong intuitive community tool it was always meant to be. As we bring our workshops all over the country, our overall goal is to build a community through mentorship with those who attend our workshops and desire further connection and wisdom.

Testimonials

It has taken me a bit to find the words. Our time together holds such magnitude. The changing woman was a highlight for me-really grateful for that send off. Every evening we shared together, I took something new with me. Since then women have been seeking me and in the most organic ways. I have tons of stuff I want to add to my bag but my most prized take away was receiving this lineage from you all.

Missing and loving you all dearly. – Tay, Attendee

The teachings by Sarita and Rowan were concepts beyond midwifery training. I thought I was going to learn about basic foundational concepts of birthwork, and I did, but more importantly, what I walked away with was an immense confidence in myself and trust in birth. This training is the return of birth as a physiological process. I am inspired and transformed. Thank you Rowan and Sarita for so beautifully constructing a course rooted in both wise woman medicine and traditional honest midwifery. – Melinda, Attendee

I have found myself happy with all the golden nuggets i have learned as a whole. As far as practical, I added sea weed and manuka. I have shifted perspective on carefully not diluting blood after blood loss. And I know that this is random but a big shift was my conversation about doulas… I found my voice in encouraging sisterhood – Monica, Attendee

FAQ

WHO ARE OUR OFFERINGS FOR?

Our offerings, in person Intensives and online Collectives are for any birth worker with any range of experience and education. We are focused on taking a zoomed in look that is our common narrative then zooming out to think through how this could affect the rest of the body and how we can restore or prevent.

HOW CAN I BRING AN INTENSIVE TO MY COMMUNITY?

We come into communities to deepen relationships and bring knowledge that's being skipped over in our institutionalized modern midwifery educations. You act as our boots on the ground co-host with Alisha our third team member. Contact us to spark the conversation! And check out the Our Teaching Page to see where we are heading next!

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

We offer 50% upfront with registration and 50% the month before we gather. No refunds, you can sell your spot to someone else once they have been approved for our program.

I honestly don’t know if we took away labs and testing if most could do it <use critical thinking to discern the presenting issue>! That’s <one of the things> what we want to shift!
