| INTEGRAL BIRTHING: HOLISTIC STUDIES IN BIRTH & MIDWIFERY |
A 60 hour program for aspiring midwives, birth attendants, doulas, pregnant moms or
practicing midwives who wish to enhance and expand their practice of midwifery and
broaden the spiritual and soulful components of birthing practices!
Join us as we explore birth as a transformative and empowering experience...one that
each mom can welcome and appreciate!
We’ll embrace birth as an incredibly positive and affirmative peak experience, one that
most pregnant women are well equipped to undertake. We’ll see birth as an event that
offers profound shifts in the consciousness of all involved. And we’ll look at the role of
the caregiver in this rite of passage as we explore the physical, cultural, social and
spiritual aspects of birth and midwifery.
Our Curriculum for Studies in Integral Birthing:
We will endeavor to understand as many aspects of childbearing as we can. We’ll view
birth, first, from the point of view of the mother. Then we’ll look at how family is shaped
by birth.
We’ll address the roles available to caregivers.
We’ll discuss how our society and culture determines our particular birthing rituals and
caretaking rituals. Then we’ll turn our attention to the worldview of birth. Finally, we'll
add the overarching, all-embracing cosmic template.
This describes the Integral model and as we use this model as the matrix for our
discussion we’ll include tangible information concerning the physicality of childbearing.
and dialogue, group discussion, presentation of case studies, visualizations and
exploration of various spiritual practices. You will also learn a body of knowledge and
information that will allow you to enter the birthing realm as a doula, and further your
studies of midwifery.
At the close of the program you will receive a certificate from The Matrona documenting
60 hours of Holistic Midwifery Studies. You will also receive a certificate of Holistic Doula
Training.

This describes the Integral model and as we use this model as the matrix for our
discussion we’ll include tangible information concerning the physicality of childbearing.
- We’ll look at hormones and endocrinology.
- We’ll learn the female body, the pelvis, the mechanisms of labor, and the fetal skull
and explore how they relate in labor. - We’ll describe the process of labor in holistic terms and offer a model that weaves
together the physical, the instinctual and the intuitive aspects. - We’ll explore the concept of midwifery and caregiving for the pregnant mother.
What does support, education, monitoring, nurturing, facilitation etc...mean for the
pregnant family and what does it look like in various settings and permutations. - What exactly is empowerment? transformation? instinct? intuition? We attach these
words to the process of childbearing...let’s investigate the meaning and
significance associated with these powerful words. Then we'll apply them to birth
and midwifery in a way that is truly empowering and transformative. - We’ll explore variations of normal in the childbearing continuum and offer
empowering strategies to unfold and unwind these varying changes. - We’ll look at a paradigm of undisturbed birthing and see if, in the Integral model, this
approach to birth fits the escalating need for birth change. Is Integral birthing in
synchrony with the journey of birth as a personal, cultural, social, spiritual and
cosmic event?
