According to the International Confederation of Midwives, the world is facing a shortage of 1 million midwives. Women, babies, and families across the globe are suffering from a lack of skilled, compassionate care โ care that midwives can provide, and care that midwives should be providing. We must do better for the families of the world. The world needs more midwives.
Over the past three years, I have had an incredible student in my practice. To me, midwifery is holy work. It is sacred work โ work you must feel deeply called to do. You have to hold a genuine love for caring for and serving others in your heart.
Bailey has the heart, soul, and hands of a midwife.
And as of this month, the world is now only short 999,999 midwives ๐๐ฝ๐ Bailey is officially a California Licensed Midwife and will be joining my practice.
There are so many beautiful benefits to having a two-midwife practice. Our families will be even more supported, cared for, and held through their journeys. I cannot fully put into words what it means to have a midwifery partner with whom I can share all the beautiful, silly, and hard moments this work brings.
I love you, Bailey
