Hey Friends!

Share this post to spread the word because WE NEED MORE MIDWIVES❣️

The College of Traditional Midwifery is where I obtained my degree. Choosing CTM was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made - challenging, adult learning style, thorough curriculum, in-person skill development, sage wisdom, a sisterhood that has remained, and a school which prepared me to take the NARM and pass on my first attempt.

You won’t regret selecting CTM on your path towards becoming a Certified Professional Midwife💜

Congratulations to our February families 👣
Pregnancy often interweaves with unforeseen challenges. Life moments like these can bring more growth than we had anticipated and shape families as the grow.
To each family - you faced challenges and welcomed them with such grace, clarity, and resolve.
It was a blessing to witness all the moments❣️

Yes, your midwifery care includes lab work❣️
Initial labs, vitamin D, 28 weeks, glucose options, urine cultures, urinalysis, GBS, PAP, cord blood & more to ensure yours and baby’s health.

All with discussion of risks & benefits.
Each individualized to your health needs.

We don’t just “take your labs.” Your labs are explained at every stage and reasons for extra labs reviewed with you.
We take extra measures towards a comfortable experience.

AND, when your labs are ready for review, you’re contacted, recommendations are personalized and communicated clearly.
Your labs are your records and always available for your review.

If your New Year is bringing you a new one, we’d love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your options in midwifery care.

From home birth, water birth, supported VBAC in a hospital, trying for a new bay, or discussing pregnancy support - midwifery care is full of options❣️

Sending out a HUGE thank you to the kindest table of strangers that paid for my birth team’s meal Friday night at Tacos & Tequilas in Alexandria.

We were so blessed by your generosity!

December was a busy month for us. We welcomed 3 new lives in the middle of all the Christmasy, New Years, long hours, and the on-call living it takes to serve our families.
We celebrated our first month as a team Friday and were delighted to hear our meals were covered!

Thanks for blessing my team❣️
