In our Core Midwifery: Suturing After Birth e-course, expert midwife Augustine Colebrook, with over 25 years of experience, breaks down suturing into simple, manageable steps.

Midwife Augustine Colebrook



Augustine is no stranger in the birthwork community. An internationally recognized midwifery educator, seasoned business executive, and veteran midwife having attended the births of 1000s of babies, Augustine brings a wealth of experience from attending births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes across the U.S. and abroad. Deeply committed to serving underserved and marginalized communities, she honors the balance between the sacredness of birth and the reality of clinical practice. With a master's degree in Maternal/Child Health Systems, she has dedicated her career to transforming maternity care.

Her mission? To mainstream midwifery and dismantle the fear and misinformation that surround birth. Through education, consulting, product development, podcasts, business coaching, and site visits, she empowers midwives, students, birth center administrators, and maternity practice owners to create sustainable, thriving practices. Augustine doesn’t just teach midwifery—she midwives the midwife, guiding the next generation toward a fulfilling and impactful career.
