For Midwife

SciHonor Devotion, CPM, BSM, CLC

A midwife assistant is someone who assists midwives with serving women and expectant mothers. Midwife Assistants help midwives with a variety of tasks such as appointment  scheduling, administrative tasks, ordering and stocking supplies, as  well as assisting with birthing responsibilities including monitoring  vital signs, gathering and setting up supplies, keeping the mother as  comfortable as possible, informing the family of the mothers progress,  discussing and demonstrating comfort techniques, assisting with the  actual delivery and more. SciHonor, founder of Earth's Natural Touch, received hands-on training working with home birth midwife, Memaniye Cinque, CNM of Dyekora Sumda Midwifery Services as her assistant. She also received training from Mamatoto Village wtih Aza Nedhari, and Womancraft Midwifery Education Program with Beth Anne Moonstone.
