SOVEREIGN BIRTH MENTORSHIP

radical education for current & aspiring bipoc birthworkers

July 6 -August 24, 2021

Beloved, you’ve been called to birthwork for a reason.

You know you’re meant to support the sacredness of pregnancy and birth.

You long to do this birth in right relationship with community, your own integrity, and the sovereignty of the families you serve.

You believe in your heart that birthwork can be liberation work.

But how do you do this, when our system is set up to pathologize and abuse those we serve— especially Black, Indigenous & mothers of color?

It is possible, and it all begins with embodying our own sovereignty.

 WELCOME TO SOVEREIGN

Whether you’ve been a practicing doula for years or are in the beginnings of your journey, Sovereign is a 8 week group coaching program to receive community care, mentorship, and radical birth education to support you in aligning with your purpose and identifying how to do birthwork in your integrity.
