The Midwifery Workshops sponsored by the Farm Midwifery Center include classes and retreats for midwife assistant students, practicing midwives, beginning midwifery students, doulas, and labor and delivery nurses.

In all our workshops, we strive to teach the skills and knowledge you will need to make the birthing environment safe, pleasant and responsive to the needs of women and babies.

Our instructors include, Ina May Gaskin, C.P.M.; Pamela Hunt, C.P.M.; Joanne Santana, R.N., C.P.M.; Carol Nelson, C.P.M.; Deborah Flowers, R.N., C.P.M.; and Stacie Hunt, C.P.M., as well as several guest instructors.

We sponsor Midwifery Assistant Workshops in which we introduce the skills and knowledge you will need to assist a practicing midwife in home or birth center delivery. This workshop will give you a solid foundation as you continue your studies in midwifery as an apprentice or in a midwifery school. If you are already a doula, this workshop will broaden your understanding of the birth process and will inform you of ways to assist a midwife as well as the birthing mother.
