One of the most renowned midwife and healer not only in Mexico, but around the world.
About the 2 day course
Angelina is the inheritor of three generations of midwifery knowledge; her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all traditional midwives, practicing for around 40 years each.
Midwifery and herbalism are two traditional fields that are closely linked to folk medicine and community health, especially in historical contexts. These practices were essential before the development of modern medicine, but today this knowledge is gaining much more momentum. Midwives are often also herbalists. One of them is Angelina Martinez Miranda, a big-hearted, mother-of-mothers midwife from Mexico.
