Sabbatical Update!
After teaching suturing continuously since 1996, I planned a sabbatical beginning in October 2024 through 2025. Due to changes in the revision schedule for the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery & Women’s Health, our team will be working on the revisions through July of 2025. With that in mind, I’ve decided to postpone my sabbatical until October 2025.
I am grateful for the amazing team for the revision of the 7th Edition of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery & Women’s Health. This will be my last edition of the text, and I am so very grateful for the amazing people who have joined this book as seasoned editors, new editors, and contributors. It takes a village to turn out a midwifery text that spans not only the life-span of those we care for, but also the cultures in which midwives and our clients make their homes.
During my sabbatical, I plan to take a break from teaching and writing obligations and explore what the people and places of this great country have to offer.
My passion for the work I do remains strong. I look forward to continuing to teach through 2025. My thanks to all of the midwives who are such an inspiration to me!
With love,
Nell

The Heart of Midwifery
The midwife life is a growth experience
I've been offering continuing education programs for midwives since the early 1990's. I am passionate about midwifery and teaching and excellence in midwifery practice. I find joy in mentoring midwives as they grow into dynamic and resourceful practitioners.
We all have dreams of midwifery. Mine have changed from a community clinical practice to sharing knowledge and skills. Midwifery is about listening, about hearing, about guiding. It's about being present as a witness, and working with each person as the expert in their own life. I love learning from each and every midwife and student I encounter.
