Herbal Wisdom, Holy Trust, and 50 Years of Birth with Betty Griffith, LDM
Q: What has your experience as a midwife taught you over the years?
I've learned to trust God and that birth is a natural process; we need to focus on the cause of issues rather than just treating symptoms.
"The Art of Midwifery Is Being Lost": Yelena Kolodji, LM, CNM
Q: Do you think the younger generation of midwives is losing the core of midwifery?
Yes, there aren't enough experienced midwives to train them, leading to a loss of trust in birth processes amongst new midwives.
"The Art of Midwifery Is Being Lost": Yelena Kolodji, LM, CNM
Q: How has midwifery changed over the years?
Midwifery has evolved, with rising C-section rates and decreased trust in natural births, and there's a pressing need to maintain the art of midwifery.
Called by God, Tried by the State: Brenda Capps
Q: If you could change anything about midwifery in the future, what would that be?
I would take away the licensings, for sure, because I don't feel that you need a license to help a pregnant mother.
