Center For Indigenous Midwifery

We believe that by restoring the time-honored presence of Indigenous birthkeepers throughout life journeys, we can heal generations. At the heart of health and wellness is a reclaiming that the ceremony of birth is about far more than a physical experience. The growing and welcoming of a child is an opportunity to heal generations, to reclaim our languages, to introduce our first foods, and to connect to the gifts of our Indigenous healers. Through educational programs, skill sharing, and more- we are committed to supporting Indigenous families and the Birthkeepers who serve them. Mission: “Strengthening Indigenous communities by honoring & reclaiming Indigenous midwifery care & family support.”
