HARNESSING OUR COLLECTIVE wisdomINTO AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE

Welcome home, midwives. 

I’ve been in your shoes. The eager student, the fresh new midwife, the burnt out business owner. Through it all, I craved community support to balance the passion, profession, and politics of birth work (the patriarchy wasn’t exactly going to smash itself!)

When I couldn’t find the network I needed, I created it… and so the Midwifery Wisdom Collective was born.

We started small and informally, offering the information on litigation, business, self-care, and advanced practice skills I had needed to find for myself initially. As demand grew, I could see there was a real hunger among community midwives for this intimate support. 

A well-supported midwife is a more effective midwife. I found that surrounding myself with a team of trusted experts and mentors allowed my clients to benefit as well.  With my own support network in place, I was more available, confident, and skilled for the families in my care, and I had more time for myself and my family. 

Today, Midwifery Wisdom is authentic community support for midwives everywhere. We’re proud to offer globally-accessible content for every point in your journey:

If you can’t find what you need here, we invite you to help us build it. As a collective, we’re truly about community ownership and collaborative work. 

Midwives deserve to be midwifed. Let us be your soft landing place in your work to make midwifery the standard of care for birthing families worldwide. 

In solidarity,
