The teaching of the
International College of Spiritual Midwifery is centred on returning
women to the sovereignty of their own bodies, and the inherent
power within.
As women, we are part of a continuum, our
ancestors live within us, just as we will live within our
descendants. Our mothers arrived from our grandmother's womb
carrying the ovum that would become us.
As a woman's life
traverses its many directions and turning points, including
sexuality, ovulation, menstruation, conception, pregnancy, birth,
lactation, motherhood, menopause and grandmotherhood, pathways are
created to allow for awareness, growth and
transformation.
Spiritual Midwifery
reclaims a woman's power in her own process. It allows women the
chance to remember how to listen to their bodies and trust in their
ability to respond to this new intelligence. In this, a deep inner
knowing pervades and strength is brought to all
undertakings.
The more a woman is able
to be herself as a woman, the more she is able to be with other
women as they travel the rich and sometimes challenging landscape of
womanhood. The Original meaning of mid-wife comes from the anglo saxon "med-wyf" meaning wise woman or
witch.
When women live their lives in this way balance can be
present on the Earth. This way of living gives men a point of
reference with the feminine that invokes and insists on their
highest potential also being realised.
Children who are born of
and cared for by such women and men grow strong in their own sense
of responsibility. It is in this that we create the future we wish
for our children and the generations to come.

"I love seeing the change and
happiness that comes into peoples' lives when they do this work. I
find myself constantly in awe at the capacity people have to heal
when they are provided with a safe and supportive environment"
