We invite you to join us in midwifery study and camaraderie at
Sacred Mountain Midwifery School. We are now accepting applications for 2012!!!
Sacred Mountain Midwifery School strives to teach the science and art of midwifery by offering a traditional approach that emphasizes apprenticeship-style training and experiential learning through lecture and hands-on experience. Our curriculum is applicable to a wide student range – from inspired to seasoned - and requires no prerequisites. Our approach is to midwife the student into midwifery. Our student body is small - so we can provide intensive small group learning and individualized training as well as growth toward individual goals. Our curriculum is based on NARM’s PEP-process and the Practical Skills Guide.

Upon completion you will have:
  • PEP skills signed off through appropriate opportunities to demonstrate mastery
  • Preparation for CPM exam through both academic and hands-on training
  • Advancement of your skill understanding and capabilities
  • Personal, individualized, one-on-one guidance and instruction on your path to midwifery
  • Communication skills: group process, consensus-decision making, group dynamics
  • Contact with a network of potential preceptors
  • Certificate of completion

    For more information please visit our future students section. If you prefer to speak directly with an instructor, please email Ruth Ann Colby Martin or call her at: 304-567-3149.

  • Previous Student Testimonials

    Get midwifed into midwifery! During an intense study course at The Mountain Institute on Spruce Knob, West Virginia, I came away with a wealth of information and experience in the basic skills of midwifery. It was also a learning experience rich in personal nurturing care and attention to my needs as a student and midwife-in-training. I have acquired the solid foundation I need to see me through to becoming a responsible, caring midwife... Even if I never went on to become a certified midwife, I have emotionally and mentally reaped very valuable information that has made me a better person. My experience was WELL worth the time and money invested.
