birth attendant training - Expression of Interest
Through time and across cultures, birthing wisdom has always brought forward women who feel drawn to working with birthing energy.
Women whose experiences open them to the transformational possibilities of birthing
Women whose heart’s calling is to offer support to birthing women.
This ten-month course seeks to honour and support this heart’s calling.
Support for Birthing Women
