We believe that...

Education is empowerment.

Knowing what is possible for your birth and being aware of your choices gives you the power to defend your birth space. The more we expand and share empowering knowledge, the more we are able to confidently make choices that are right for each of us individually.

Everyone deserves access to their best birth.

Money, location, or time should not be a barrier to anybody having access to quality birth education, options, and resources. No matter who you are, your ideal birth experience belongs within your reach.

Birth is the key to healing the world.

The right to empowered, healing birth experiences was taken from our foremothers long ago and we are all hurting because of it. Reclaiming birth repairs generational bonds in both directions.

Helping birth workers helps communities.

When independent birth workers have the resources they need to stay afloat, their wisdom and skill uplifts their entire community, no matter where they live.
