Calling all midwives, doulas and birthworkers worldwide!


Are you ready to take your birthwork to the next level? Introducing the Birthcraft Initiation Program —
a comprehensive 9-week online journey starting May 1st, 2024.


Crafted with care for doulas, midwives, and obstetricians who are deeply passionate about birth and committed to making a lasting impact, this program is your key to success.


Whether you're a seasoned birthworker seeking to refine your skills
or a recent graduate feeling unprepared for the challenges ahead,
the Birthcraft Initiation Programme is the essential FOUNDATION
for anyone dedicated to the Art of Birth.


Are you Ready to Be Part of The Birth Revolution?



Imagine a world where birth isn't just a process, but a profound journey of remembrance and empowerment.

What if this revolution were not about drastic change, but a gentle return to the wisdom already within you?

A reclaiming of ancient truths whispered in the depths of your being.

Join us on this transformative path, where you'll not only master the art of Birthcraft, but rediscover the innate power of your intuition and instincts. Learn to navigate the subtle realms where magic and science converge, guiding mothers and babies through the sacred dance of birth.

Birthwork is often a solitary road, filled with challenges and exhaustion. You give endlessly to others, but who gives back to you? We believe that every birthworker deserves a sanctuary—a place where your voice is heard, your struggles understood, and your spirit nourished.

In our community, you'll find the support you crave. Together, we'll cultivate the courage and clarity needed to step into your role as a leader and guardian of birth's sacred flame.

Become a keeper of ancient wisdom, and join us in shaping a new era of birth with love, compassion, and reverence.

We'd love to have you onboard!
