Apprentices:
Traditional midwifery is taught by the apprenticeship model of working directly with midwives and is important to passing on the wisdom. This is the model that led to the competency of all the practitioners of Mandala Midwifery, and it is our full intension to continue the legacy. If you have any objections to an apprentice observing and/or participating, please let us know.
