A one-year online journey exploring a pathway to True Midwifery

In collaboration with Well Mama and Humanly, this is a one-year True Midwifery online course accessible via Teachable with once-a-month live 3-hour Zoom connection calls and regular personal contact via the private True Midwifery Silent Birthkeeper Telegram group where we connect and discuss the topics and offer support.

We will meet every first Thursday of the month from 10 am to 1 pm SAST (GMT+2).

The certification Date for this course will be on the 7th of March 2024.

This course is limited to 15 participants maximum.

I have put this course together to share my own journey, learning, stories, and findings on this path of studying midwifery, and being a birth attendant and mother. I humbly invite you to come, listen, learn and share together. Together we weave our threads together, keeping the tapestry of birth and birthkeeping alive.
