TRAINING PROGRAMME AND COURSES 2010
We offer the only professional training programme for Soul Midwives in the UK and many of our students also come from as far away as the USA, South Africa, New Zealand and Europe
The courses have been running for five years and students return frequently to refresh their skills , share new ideas and techniques and receive continued inspiration and support from our tutors
We welcome many people, from all walks of life on our introductory days and a significant number go on to become certified Soul Midwives working within their own communities. This is our greatest reward in providing this training and we regard our growing team of soul midwives as a truly international family
Liasing with practitioners in the field, we are constantly developing and expanding our course material .We aim to take a very practical and heart-based approach approach to the spiritual and sensitive arena of death and dying
To avoid confusion, we would like to make clear that we are not connected or associated in any way with other sites which have recently begun offering very similar courses although, of course, we wish them well with everything they do
