Entre los mayas tz’utujiles, la partería se considera una profesión sagrada, lo que significa que la partera recibe el llamado para ejercer su oficio a través de los sueños. Lois Paul, esposa de Benjamin D. Paul, escribió Careers of Midwives in a Mayan Community en 1978. Una de las parteras mencionadas en dicho artículo, Juana, es la protagonista del galardonado libro de Barbara Rogoff publicado en 2011: Developing Destinies: A Mayan Midwife and Town.
