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
Happy
Mother’s Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charis midwifery student Rachel Thompson and I were talking this
week about the mission field within our homes. What an honor it is
to be chosen by God to lead our little ones to Jesus and to their
God-designed destiny!!!!!!! Thinking about that, I realize that just
their presence alone is an honor. Look at your babies and your
children. How blessed you are!!!!!
Now, take a moment to think of your own mother. Although you most
likely took the opportunity to bless her this Mothers Day, I would
like to encourage you to bless her and honor her throughout the year
in unexpected and wonderful ways. She loves you like no one else can
and deserves the honor more than once a year!
At Charis Childbirth, we celebrate motherhood daily. As it
should be!!! Our mothers are such a special gift! Since this is the
month of Mothers Day, I want to publicly honor mothers, especially
my own.
As you may know, I have two mothers, so I am doubly blessed. One
gave birth to me and one raised me. The first provided the building
blocks necessary for me to become the person I am; and with those
building blocks, the second nurtured and guided me to become the
best I could be. Thank you, Susan, for giving me life and loving me
so much. I am so glad God brought us back together. Thank you, Mom,
for being the best mother a girl could ever hope for. I am so glad
God picked you to raise me. I am who I am because of both of you.
Blessings to all the mothers in the Charis family,
Kristin Schuchmann
