Celebrating the graduation of Zoe Aurednik and Laura Holzapfel with The College of Traditional Midwifery! (CTM)👩🏼‍🎓👩🏼‍🎓💜 College of Traditional Midwifery

These two incredible, capable, and devoted women who embody wisdom and steadiness have already touched their communities with midwifery care and support. They are already making a difference and I know there’s so much more to come!

I’ve been blessed to be able to contribute and give back to my alumni as a student liaison. Laughing and crying with women who are being shaped into midwives is a treasure.
And, I’m able to sneak back into classes like this 4-hour long presentation on Trauma Informed Care complete with hands on skills and resources that’s based on Esme Benson extensive research paper. The high quality and challenge provided by CTM under the guidance of Sharon Wells and Carol Nelson is unmatched.
I was also able to attend the student workshop on shoulder dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, and IV’s taught by Claudia Breglia and learn just a bit more from another sage who has served for decades.
But, the highlight? That’s the sisterhood shared around our meal tables and sharing stories and experiences, meeting and greeting new Term 1 students and cheering on the next wave of graduates.
I’m one blessed bitty midwife with a full cup❣️🫶 My Birth Friend

Becoming new parents can mean you’re hearing soo many opinions while attempting to remain balanced about your own wishes and dreams of a wonderful pregnancy and birth! And, this mama remained ever hopeful every step of the way! With each conversation we shared in reviewing all sorts of birth possibilities she’d look at her husband and say, “I just feel like it’s all going to be okay. Yeah! I really do!” Hope. That’s what I’ll remember most about this adorable couple. With each encounter she held such hope!
Hope. A word that’s difficult to describe and easier to shake off. They both held such hope. And, they worked for it! Every step of the way. Hope was held! 💕

We’re overjoyed to celebrate with the Mobley family at the birth of their newest, precious, and cherished bay boy, Tal!
Mikelle is one of our very own MBFM birth assistants…but did you know? She’s also a Certified Professional Midwife and we’re cheering her on during her final steps in becoming an Alabama Licensed midwife! She and Trent live “just down the road” and we’ve enjoyed each and every prenatal. Mikelle birthed Tal with an intentional heart in worship, Trent supported her with every breath, and baby Tal didn’t waste a moment in meeting his parents.
Such a treasure❣️
Help me congratulate them in the comments💕👣💙

Breastfeeding a new baby is a unknown venture. Sometimes, everything comes together so easily and effortlessly. Usually, there’s a few days of extra hard work, little sleep, and a few tears. Other times, it’s seems it’s an endless battle with too many hurdles to overcome.
So delighted we’ve already been blessed with a little community of generous and loving moms! I reached out to only 2 mamas (with babies several months old) and they were happy to help! Then, one connected me with another mom in the area looking to bless someone with an entire freezer full of extra milk.
God does supply and He holds us close in these first few weeks. His promise is to “comfort those with young.” How beautiful it is when He uses other moms to bring us comfort, too.

Early Spring meant 2 March births. One welcoming a new addition to a growing family and the other a first baby and a new journey into parenthood.
Each mother worked hard in her pregnancy! Both remained joyful with such a clear vision for hope during her birth and vivid desire to hold their sweet blessings.
May each family know their babies and births blessed our team like Spring. They each renewed our belief that birth works❣️Moms are capable. They are stronger than they know and braver than the first green leafs pushing winter into yesterday. 🫶🌱🌼
