Meet Jamie.

Read the blog.
Everything started with a blog aimed at making education about pregnancy accessible and helping aspiring, student and practicing midwives to give better care on the front lines. I was tired of reading things that didn’t have resources to back up the content…or worse, no resources at all with just bad content. My solution: write my own blog.
Find your midwife.
Sometimes, the most important steps in your pregnancy care are the ones that no one tells you about. Choosing a midwife for your care is by far one of the best steps you can take – for you and your baby. Find your midwife today!
Download FREE guides for pregnancy & postpartum.
Most pregnant women have 8-12 visits during their pregnancy with their provider. It’s been that way for 30 years. But our outcomes aren’t improving – outcomes are getting worse. The guides offer an opportunity for women and providers to start using a checklist during prenatal and postpartum care – a novel solution for a system in desperate need of change.
Shop the SHOP.
The shop offers one-of-a-kind guides for your pregnancy and postpartum that are unlike anything else. For midwifery students, there’s a guidebook to get you to midwifery school, through it with success and soaring into your first few years as a new midwife.
Check out your state’s resources.
True change starts right in your own community. Some states are knocking it out of the park with birth support and local resources. Some are learning their way. See what your state has to offer.
Read the birth stories.
Storytelling is a lost art in today’s culture. Birth stories used to pass from generation to generation among women. This practice helped reduce fear and increased encouragement among women. We’re still telling stories around here and we’re not stopping anytime soon. Read the stories, learn the lessons, and prepare for your birth.
Add to your TBR list.
There are some great books that nurture, education and prepare you for pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. And there are some that incite fear and are a complete waste of time. Get the right books on your to-be-read lists.

The solution? Make more midwives.
The solution to reversing maternal and infant outcomes in the United States is simple: integrate droves of midwives into the healthcare system to manage all low-risk, normal birth and to co-manage moderate to high risk birth. I lay it all out to make more midwives: the state of the profession, what midwifery is, available midwifery training programs and scholarships and anything else I can offer to make.more.midwives.
