Nizhoni is a Navajo word which conveys the spirit and practice of “the beauty way” as experienced and expressed through living in balance and harmony with the world. As midwives and students, we seek that balance as we honor both our valued birthing traditions and contemporary midwifery and medical knowledge. Graduates of the Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery are prepared to function as primary care providers for women throughout the childbearing cycle. As midwives, we bring harmony and balance to the work of labor and assist each woman to discover the transformative nature and experience of giving birth. As an institution providing midwifery education, we create and foster a strong commitment to excellence in midwifery practice in any given place or circumstance, once again honoring the practice of Nizhoni.
