🩺 Want to become a midwife? Is 2026 your year to take the next step? 🤰

📚 We would like to add a student midwife to our practice, starting immediately.

Ideally, candidates would meet the following requirements:

• PEP student
• Phase 2 or experienced doula (10+ births)
• lives within 40 mins of the birth center
• self starter
• loves learning
• has a fantastic sense of humor

Additionally, we would like a student with a thorough understanding of the PEP process, the steps required, and has a solid plan for didactic education.

Our practice is located in a rural area and serves clients within an hour radius. We are not a high volume practice, but stay busy. We enjoy hosting community events, offering classes, and networking with others. You will have opportunities to not just learn hands on midwifery skills, but also how to run a practice. You will either need to reside nearby or be willing to move to the area. This is not a position for a long distance commuter. Housing is NOT provided, nor is transportation (though we do carpool at times).

📄 Still interested? You may email us a cover letter and resume to [email protected]. Resumes received without cover letters will not be read.

Inquiries sent via DM will not receive a response.

🌸 WELCOME PHOEBE 🌸

Like labor with her older siblings, once it began, it really took off. But the most amazing part of this story is how calm and relaxed Phoebe’s mom was the whole time she was in labor. Or the whole time we saw her in labor, which wasn’t long at all. ⏰

When her parents arrived at the birth center, her mom sat calmly on the couch and easily breathed through contractions. She asked to lie down so we got the bed ready for them. She labored on her side while we attempted to fill the pool. A few contractions later and dad let us know things were moving along. We’re certainly glad he did because she appeared to be just breezing through. Not long after, dad popped his head out the door again to let us know she was pushing. 🤩

Mom so gently and quietly eased her baby out, as we assisted dad in catching his youngest daughter. Only 31 minutes after arriving at the birth center. 😳

Phoebe is just adorable and always appears just a little older, a little more present, than her age. We’re excited to watch this sweet girl grow! 🌱

🚙 WELCOME GEORGE 🚙

This boy is proof that 3rd babies are sometimes wildcards. With early labor beginning the night before, mom called us just after 7am to let us know that she was having contractions, this was happening, and she was going to get into the shower. We got ready and headed out fairly quickly knowing this mom has never had a long labor.

Approximately 7 minutes later, as we are driving quickly, dad calls and we hear baby crying in the background. 😬 We arrived to find mom and baby snuggling in bed, placenta in a bowl at her side, and a proud dad that had just completed his first catch.

Fun facts:

• George’s older brother holds the record for biggest practice baby so far (10lbs 11oz)
• George was their earliest baby yet by 1 week and almost 2 weeks

We’re so glad you’re here, George! Look forward to watching you grow alongside your brothers. 💗

🛑 We will be closed and off call June 9-16th. 🛑

For all clients currently in care, you will be given the number of a midwife to contact in case of emergencies. She will NOT be responsible for any paperwork or referrals during this time. If you need something filled out, a letter written, or referrals made, please request it before or after this time.

We are really looking forward to our much needed downtime and family vacation. This time disconnected from our phones and our work, allows us to continue providing focused and intentional care when we are again on call.

If you are not currently in care and would like to meet us, please know that inquiries during these dates will also not be answered. We would be happy to get back in touch and schedule a consultation before or after the above dates. ☀️
