Student Midwife in Florida seeks paid position in private practice or birth center. Am an administrator and birth assistant with a CNM and LM in Palm Beach. Graduation 2001. I have a good heart and total dedication to birthing holistically. Metaphysical healing is the preferred choice over medications when all parties are in agreement. I have a BA in Global Economic Systems, am an inactive Minister from the Church of Divine Man/Berkeley Psychic Institute and have traveled for 10 years writing about world spirituality amidst capitalistic competition. I wish to birth a new movement in community spiritual awareness through the unconditional love in childbirth. If you would like to obtain my resume and references, please contact me.

I am interested in an apprentice posision in SW MI or NW IN. I would like to send my portfolio to you if you are interested. Send me your address and I will send it to you. I love home birth and natural healing methods yet, I believe that in rare cases there is a place for the alopath practice and hospitals. I trust in God for direction. I have been Studying Childbirth for over ten years now. Presently I am studying with the school Ancient Art Midwifery Institute and soon signing up with NARM. I speak both Spanish and English and have translated for births before. If you are in this area and are interested, I would be glad to hear from you.
