Midwifery Teaching Models

I combine professional expertise with a passion for crafting to create midwifery educational models that are practical, engaging, and meaningful. Handcrafted teaching models are created through my craft label Peli Pieces. My deep understanding of childbirth practices ensures that every model is accurate, effective, and meets authentic teaching needs.

Health professionals choosing my handcrafted models are not only getting affordable, high-quality teaching tools, but also supporting a small, purpose-driven business dedicated to enhancing childbirth education for families.

Testimonials

Jenny Blyth

“I use your knitted womb as an extra demo prop with every workshop I teach. It is versatile in that you can birth a baby from it or simply fill it with a balloon to show the size of the womb in pregnancy or in the days post-birth.”
