Resuscitation Untethered    

Community based, midwifery led neonatal resuscitation.  An 8 hour neonatal resuscitation course with expanded topics including resuscitation in place, transfers, integration with EMS,  team dynamics in the community setting, trauma informed care for both the clients and the providers, and many other community birth specific topics.  This course is for providers (Midwives, nurses, birth assistants) desiring an NRP card at the end of the course, and requires extra work prior to the course.

  • This NRP class was, BY FAR, the most impactful training I have taken as a midwife. This was the 5th time I had taken NRP and the first time I walked away feeling fully confident in my ability to complete the NRP algorithm start to finish in an emergent situation. Within a week of this class, I had fully re-worked my emergency protocols, ordered more supplies, and re-organized my resuscitation bags. This class gave me things I could implement immediately that will have a lasting impact on the health and safety of the newborns in my care. I am incredibly grateful.

  • Julie taught us…how to lovingly help families welcome new souls even when they may be a bit reluctant to join us…in a way that’s less traumatizing & doesn’t forget the sanctity of that moment. All while still following the latest evidence & safety standards….just so grateful for this class!

  • This on site NRP training specifically for birth center midwives is as unique, complete, and effective as the care we give our mothers and babies

  • The best NRP class I have ever taken in almost 20 years of nursing! Highly recommend this class for all birth centers and home birth practices. They should even have Julie teach this to hospital nurses and Midwives. You will feel so much more confident and prepared after this class!

  • I felt safer than any other NRP class to learn, ask questions, and make mistakes. The class was geared towards an out of hospital birth scenario which helped me feel more prepared as a birth center practitioner.

  • This is how resuscitation should happen!

  • Taking NRP in our own birth center as a team instills body memory through practiced drills and increases our proficiency in a way that is invaluable

  • After attending, I felt confident using previously unfamiliar equipment, such as IO access and T-piece resuscitators. We will be starting to use these in my birth center.

  • One of the biggest benefits of the class for me was the opportunity to create relationships and increase communication with local midwives. I hope to invite more local providers to join us in the upcoming session to expand these valuable relationships.

EMS Birth Immersion-WITH NRP card

Birth care for first responders.  This is an eight hour course, which includes four hours of didactic/skills for childbirth that covers potential emergencies, and four hours of neonatal resuscitation with specific topics for first responders including resuscitation in place, integration with transferring midwives, emotional support of the birthing family, trauma informed care for both the family and the first responders, and other topics specific to first responders.  This course is for first responders (EMS, fire) desiring an NRP Ecard at the end of the course, and requires extra work prior to the course. This course is ideal for initial training, Paramedic Academies, and systems that desire robust training for their staff.

  • Your years of hands-on experience were evident in the tricks and techniques you shared, which are not commonly known to EMS providers. I found this knowledge invaluable and it has undoubtedly enhanced my skill set.

  • I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the Neonatal Resuscitation class you taught. Your guidance and expertise helped me to gain much-needed confidence in the skills required for newborn resuscitation.

EMS Birth Immersion-without NRP card

Birth care for first responders (without NRP card).  This is a four hour course that includes all of the above topics in abbreviated format.  This course is ideal for symposiums and conferences, or as an introduction of the topic to a system prior to rolling out the full training. Midwives and community birth attendants are uniquely suited to teaching childbirth to EMS. Our systems are similar in that we often have only 2 attendants, often are in potentially unpredictable settings, and have to be able to improvise with each new scenario.

  • As someone in EMS, it is rare to have the opportunity to learn such insights in the classroom setting, and I am grateful for the knowledge you imparted.
