This September Terri will begin her apprenticeship with the Spokane Midwives (Linda Morgan and Beth Morrill, birth center on Euclid). Upon completion of her certification and state licensure (approx. one year), Terri will have lots of flexibility and time off-call from births working with the Spokane Midwives that would allow her to keep her own young children as her priority. This is a huge blessing! And yet, Terri would still get to do what she loves and is so passionate about: provide good prenatal and postpartum care for women, and have the honor of attending births. What an opportunity!
Recently, Terri has applied and been accepted into NewLife International School of Midwifery’s Summer Short-term Clinical Internship Program. They are an approved out-of-country site for NARM, the national certifying body for direct-entry midwives. Therefore, this opportunity would give Terri a boost in her skills and birth requirements toward becoming a Certified Professional Midwife by putting her ahead 6-8 months in her route.
The cost for a month at this internship is only $700 and that includes room and board. Terri has saved the money for the internship cost. However, it does not include travel expenses. It seems that the flight will be about $2000, and that is the kicker. Anyone who would like to donate financially, air miles or by praying would be most appreciated!
Birth Journey Prep believes that we need more midwives in this community as good options for birthing families. We need Terri to become a licensed midwife and serve in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene areas!
