Dearest world-wide birth enthusiasts,

I have teamed up with Mary Giordano , a birth-keeper, educator and facilitator that I admire for her passion, dedication and vison, so that together we can continue to bring the best opportunities of education to birth professionals and pregnant & birthing women in your area of the world.

We are coming together now in these interestingly challenging times, to make available this Midwifery Workshops Online program at a very low rate to make it easy for you to sign up and participate.

This Workshops Online "Art of Birth" program complements beautifully the workshops we will be able to do in person when the world will allow. 
Please receive a warm welcome!

I have a longstanding interest in traditional Mexican midwifery, one which was born many years before I even contemplated becoming a birth worker myself. Ever since first living in Mexico as a curious teenager on a yearlong exchange program some twenty years ago I have been fascinated by the wisdom and traditional practices not only of the indigenous populations of Mexico but also those from other parts of the world and another area that has long interested me is the use of traditional woven textiles to support women through their rites of passages and changing social identities through the courses of their lives.

With a background in anthropology, education and community development I came to the sphere of birth after the arrival of my second child with a particular interest in cultural competency in the birth space and natural intrigue about different birthing practices around the world. I became aware of Naoli’s work soon after my transition to birth work and was immediately inspired to learn from her, although I felt somewhat disheartened by the distance between Melbourne and Florianópolis so it was a joy to learn that she would start offering her workshops online and of course I jumped at the chance to learn from her.

I am enthralled by the simplicity and tenderness of Naoli’s work, which is clearly evident in the stunning videos she and her beautiful family put together. Every single one is a joy to watch and they transport me to another place and time, almost as if I were right there learning from her in person. It is wonderful to also be part of a global community of conscientious and heartfelt birth-workers taking part in this training and engaging with each other in several languages simultaneously.

If you are interested in expanding your learning and taking a journey into Naoli’s life’s work then I absolutely recommend you join the "Art of Birth" Online Workshops. You will not be disappointed!

As her partner Naoli has offered me a percentage of the subscription fee for anyone who signs up to her workshops through my dedicated partner page. I have decided that I want to forward this income on to a local organisation working to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to experience their pregnancy in a culturally safe and nurturing environment. I have chosen @wamindasthcoast, a NSW organisation that has partnered with the Australian College of Midwives to drive the Birthing on Country project, which they describe as a landmark initiative in cultural recognition that has potential to profoundly and positively affect maternal, infant and child health.

Frequently Asked Questions

​WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MONTHLY AND YEARLY MEMBERSHIP?

​The"Monthly Membership" gives you access to the "Current Month" page which will have 2 Topic Videos and monthly bonus LIVESTREAM sessions.
The "Yearly Membership" not only gives an even lower overall cost, it gives access to the "Current Month" content and also the "Annual Archive" page which contains all the videos of the year for repeated watching and reference.

What is the difference between the Topic Videos and LIVESTREAM Sessions?

The Topic Videos are produced videos of around 20-30 minutes, covering important birth related topics drawn from Naoli's regular workshops. The LIVESTREAM Sessions are conducted in either English, Spanish, Portuguese or French. Naoli will be virtually traveling around the world for the sessions. (recorded and made available to all members).

What if i miss Watching the Bonus liveSTREAM session?

Not to worry! The BONUS LIVESTREAM sessions are recorded, so all the subscribers will have access to the recorded content for the duration of their membership.

What happens at the end of my Membership subscription?

At the end of your 1-year or 1-month member subscription you can either cancel or let it renew, it's up to you. You are welcome to  continue with your membership as Naoli will continue to add useful and important new material on a bi-weekly basis.

IF I've already done a physical workshop is there any point in signing up for the online version?

Yes!  They are actually very complimentary to each other. The physical workshops are great for hands on interactive group experiences and the online workshops are perfect for going over a topic in depth with a chance to review and learn at your own pace. They really go hand in hand if you want to deeply learn a topic.

​​WHAT IF I SIGN UP LATER THAN THE APRIL LAUNCH DATE?

In the Annual Membership it doesn't matter, because regardless of the time of your registration, you will have access to the complete series of 24 videos (April 2020 – March 2021) and the recordings of the Lives of each month during the year of your membership (as they are produced) .
