Mamma Primitiva is a worldwide traditional midwifery school that believes if given the opportunity and teachings, every woman can know and help the restoration of traditional birth. It is the work of the Primitive Mamma.
Many years ago, I organized the Mother Oak Midwifery Conference with several old traditional midwives teaching who had years of knowledge and experience assisting women during birth. All sessions from these extraordinary conferences were taped and have become an integral part of the midwifery education you are about to receive. You will be provided with other teachings from great midwives, traditional healers and medicine women from around the world that will also be included in your classes. The words from these old midwives and great teachers in the healing field, will be part of your educational experience. Their words will take you to a deep place of knowledge, to the root of this ancient knowing and wisdom.
As many of you know I have done grassroots work locally, nationally and internationally for many years to keep traditional midwifery alive and continue to pass the education on to women who want the knowledge. I have worked extensively in Hawaii, Greece, Sicilia and Bulgaria and the United States. Women from all over the world will attend these unique and powerful traditional midwifery courses. Local and worldwide networking will result from your friendships and all proceeds will go to non-profit maternal/child health clinics.
This education is to help you prepare yourself to help women birth whether you will become or are an educator for your friends, doulas, childbirth educators, apprentices, midwifes or doctors. This education will add to other education that you are receiving as it will give the rich traditional approach. If you want to become a midwife it will be your responsibility to find apprenticeships in your local community. You will find these courses unique, and helpful in your journey to understanding midwifery. Some of you may want to apply to work at the MHI clinics in the future and this schooling is imperative for you to be able to participate.
We look forward to you receiving this education through Mamma Primitiva to help women and babies birth with respect and love. Clare Loprinzi, Traditional Midwife, CPM, MCH
Mission Statement of Mamma Primitiva
Mamma Primitiva is a worldwide online traditional midwifery school that believes that if given the opportunity and teachings every woman can know and help with the restoration of traditional birth. It is the work of the primitive mamma.
The intention of Mamma Primitiva is to provide traditional midwifery education to a diverse group of women around the world. 100% of the money generated from the tuition paid to this school will go directly to supporting a midwifery model of care clinic in a impoverished and disaster stricken country. The intention is to keep the traditional midwife ways of birthing alive while at the same collaborating with birth practitioners from around the world.
Clare Loprinzi, founder of Mamma Primitiva, is on the board of directors and the medical advisory board for Mother Health International, a nonprofit organization, with a midwifery model of care birth clinic located in Jacmel, Haiti. Haiti has one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the Western Hemisphere. The mission statement of this unique medical advisory board is, "MHI Medical Advisory Board is a broad collaboration of practioneers advising and supporting Mother Health International to create the bridge between high technology obstetric care and the excellent outcomes provided by the low technology, hands on midwifery model of care in impoverished and disaster stricken countries. The collection of our data will provide inspiration for birthing centers worldwide."
This educational school has been a long time dream of mine and could not be doing this without the help of many other people and you. We have much work to do to help Motherearth heal, and it starts with birth. I would like to thank you for joining us and hope that the healing begins with you and spreads throughout birth movements and groups such as Mother Health International.
