Resuscitation Untethered    

Community-Led Neonatal Resuscitation: A Collaborative Intensive

For Midwives, Nurses, Birth Assistants, and EMS Professionals

This 8-hour course redefines neonatal resuscitation for the community setting, treating out-of-hospital providers and EMS medics as equal partners in the continuum of care. We move beyond the basics to master "resuscitation in place," seamless transfers, and trauma-informed care for both families and providers. By focusing on team dynamics and clinical integration, we ensure that when the first breath needs support, the entire team—from midwife to medic—acts as one.

Course Features:

  • Clinical Mastery: Earn your NRP eCard (requires prerequisite online work).

  • Community Integration: Focus on resuscitation in place and highly realistic EMS transfer simulations.

  • Holistic Support: Dedicated modules on team dynamics and trauma-informed debriefing.

  • Standard Rate: $300 per learner

  • AABC Members: $250

  • Thank you so much for bringing this course to TN…I’ve attended many NRP courses over the years, most of them well known in the midwifery community, and hands down yours was the best. I walked away with the knowledge I needed and an understanding I had been searching for, for a long time. I finally feel like, although I do not want to be in the position of helping a baby breathe, I have the skills and knowledge to be able to do so with confidence.

  • Midwives Untethered are doing life and practice changing work. NRP was a horrifying thought before I attended this class. You broke it down and gave hands on practice with every step, I feel so comfortable with baby and NRP now. I cannot explain how great this course is.

  • 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!

    Tina B, APRN, CNM

  • 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

    Dana Brown, CPM

  • 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.

    Josh, Paramedic

  • Absolutely fantastic. I feel prepared for any future emergencies that may arise. I also feel confident to use the skills I know which I have been hesitant to do so from past NRP courses

    Anonymous Learner

  • This was by for the best NRP course I have attended. Julie's background in EMS, nursing, and community midwifery make her an expert in the skills and content of NRP, and she understands and teaches to the situations I face as a community midwife.

  • I really appreciate the willingness to involve EMS in your program, and in the risk analysis for your birth plans.

    Dave, Paramedic

  • 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.

    Josh, Paramedic

  • 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.

  • Thank you SO much for a great day of interprofessional learning and collaboration! Loved that we had newbies and medics present as well as Midwives!

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.
