Charis
Course
for Childbirth Professionals
Want to become a Childbirth Educator, Doula, or Midwife? Charis
offers excellent education for birth professionals from a Christian
perspective.
The Charis Course for Childbirth Professionals is a two-part
course. The first part is “Foundations for Childbirth
Professionals”. In addition to this being the beginning of our
Midwifery Academics Course, those who desire to become Childbirth
Educators and Doulas will be fully equipped at the end of
“Foundations” to take the exam to become Charis Certified Childbirth
Educators and Doulas.
Part Two is “Advanced Midwifery Academics”, which builds upon
“Foundations” to provide aspiring midwives an extremely
comprehensive academic course. The two parts combined are designed
to prepare midwives well for the NARM exam, but you will find that
it far exceeds that standard.

Our
Director's Heart
Our
annual "Teaching Birth" workshop was last weekend and we had such a
great time! The highlight for me, as always, was getting to spend
the day with some of the most incredible women on the planet! I
think it is safe to say that everyone came away with even more
confidence for teaching, mentoring, and coaching.
Another super exciting event took place Saturday as well. Those of
you who have gotten to know Elizabeth Lugmayer have seen her grow
from a fantastic student to a strong leader in the birthing
community. Well, Elizabeth took her CE/doula certification exam on
April 5, and I am super thrilled to announce that she is the newest
Charis Certified Childbirth Educator and Doula.
Congratulations,
Elizabeth!!!
We are all so proud of you!!!
