About the Program

We offer birthcenter or birthsuite and homebirths to our clients. Most of the births are at our birthsuite in Pleasant Grove, Utah, we have a few at our location in Spanish Fork , and 1-2 homebirths a month. 

Most of the students usually attend around 10-15 births a month with many different midwives, in many different roles. Because you may work with many different midwives you will attend births sometimes as an assistant and sometimes as primary. When working with Feels Like Home Birth Suite midwives you will work in the role or level that you have applied for.When working with other midwives in the area, it is up to them what role you will be taking. HOWEVER, you will learn many things from these midwives that are valuable skills to have.  We expect you to go to all births that you are called to no matter the role you will take.

 We care a lot about our clients and want to make sure that they receive the best care possible, because of this we limit how many students can apprentice with us at any one time. We also want to make sure that the skill level of the students is equivalent to the care they will be providing. For this reason we will help you in determining which track is right for you.

Program tracks for clinicals

We have two programs to choose from, the gradual program and the priority program.

The gradual program works well for those who want or need to take a longer time in their clinicals with us. A time frame of 6 months -2 years is usually the amount of time. Most of these students live in the area but is not a requirement. This program is slower, but is also cheaper. You are called to births on an as needed basis with priority students getting called first.

The priority program works well for those who want or need to get as many clinical as they can in a short period of time with us. A time frame of 1-3 months is usually the amount of time. Most of these studentsdo not live in the area but that is not a requirement. This program is faster, but is also more expensive as you are called to births first.

Please be aware that the laboring mother has a right to refuse anyone at her birth at any time.

Testimonials

 Dear Heather, I just want to thank you for the opportunity to work with you as a student in your practice.  My time with Birthing Your Way was a wonderful experience for me.  I learned a lot from you that I know will prove valuable to me in my practice.  I feel that my time and money were definitely well spent for the experience I gained.  The clinical experiences I acquired during my time with you have enabled me to meet the requirements I desperately needed for NARM, and I am now able to watch my dreams of being a midwife become a reality.  Thank you again.
