Welcome to Pure Birth Midwifery


A gentle, natural, undisturbed labor and birth are the ideal way for mother and baby to start out on their journey together. A woman who is supported in her strength during labor has the confidence to nourish and nurture her baby, and her baby is strong and healthy after a natural birth process. An out-of-hospital birth with a midwife is the best way to experience a pure birth.

PureBirth Midwifery has partnered with Ancient Art Midwifery Institute to establish a regional midwifery school in the Charlotte area. We are using the AAMI curriculum as our framework for a student-focused, hands-on instruction program which combines independent work with weekly group lectures and individual check-ins with the instructor, skills training, and group projects. Assignments are presented in modules which reflect the various components of midwifery practice: prenatal care through postpartum and breastfeeding with focus on combining didactic learning with hands-on skills practice. The school sessions will run as 6-month semesters, with entrance points in January and July. Students may start the program and commit to a 6-month period of attending class and completing assignments. Monthly tuition fees cover curriculum costs and instruction.

Students in PureBirth Midwifery Studies have frequent opportunities for PEP knowledge and skills verification in preparation for the NARM exam. Apprenticeship is not a component of the school, but we feel that preceptors prefer taking students who already have skills and education which make them a valuable part of the birth team. We will assist students in their efforts to find preceptors and also give support to both apprentices and preceptors in their journey together. Our goal as a midwifery school is to educate student midwives to become responsible and professional members of the birth community who work in harmony with clients and other birth professionals.
