We Are Rebuilding What Was Ours All Along:
Sacred Birthing Village is not an organization made of programs; it is a Village made of people.
We are mothers, fathers, aunties, elders, SisterFriends, Village Tenders, young people, birthworkers, and community members all showing up with what we carry and what we have to give.
We share one purpose:
To restore the way our communities were always meant to care for birthing people and families.
What We Believe
Birth is sacred.
Families deserve support. Community is the medicine. And healing is a collective responsibility.
Our Village is built on ancestral values:
Belonging ~no one walks alone
Reciprocity ~we give and receive
Sovereignty ~families lead their own journeys
Shared responsibility ~we rise together
Restoration ~we repair, decolonize what systems have harmed. And Indigenize our sacred ways
Joy ~we build in celebration, for seven generations
The Web of Care: How Our Village Moves
The Web of Care is the heart of SBV. It is not a “model”, it is a practice. A way of activating the wisdom, relationships, and resources already in our community so families are held from every direction, not just by one person.
Our Web of Care includes:
Little Sisters (Participants) – the birthing people and families we walk with
SisterFriends (Companions) – community members offering presence, care, and support
Village Tenders (Careforce Volunteers) – delivering meals, checking in, helping with practical needs
Sacred Resource Weavers – connecting families to trusted, culturally aligned resources
Village Natal Co-Facilitators – leading circles and communal healing spaces
Birthkeepers – rising birthworkers preparing for community-rooted midwifery
Elders & Wisdom Keepers – grounding our direction and offering lived ancestral memory
The Sister’s Keeper – coordinating care and ensuring families are truly held
The Village Keeper (Founder) – stewarding the vision, values, and sacred order
Everyone has a role. Everyone belongs. Everyone is needed.
What We Do Together
We support families through the full journey:
Preconception
Preparing the soil with education, community, and support.
Pregnancy
Circle-based support, practical care, emotional grounding, and resource connection.
Birth
Ceremonial preparation and trusted companions (when invited) to witness, honor, and protect the birthing person’s wisdom.
Postpartum
Rest, nourishment, integration, and ongoing support through the first year.
Beyond
Healing spaces, community gatherings, resource exchanges, leadership pathways, and ongoing connection.
A Living Ecosystem, Not a Program
In the Village, we do not "serve clients.” We journey alongside families. We do not “provide services.”
We activate support systems.
We do not “fix problems.”
We repair and restore together.
We do not work alone.
We move as a community.

The Village: We Tend Life Together
We have always known: it takes a Village, not just to raise a child, but to uphold the birthing person as they cross one of life’s most sacred thresholds. At Sacred Birthing Village, community is our medicine.
It is how we return to birthing person-centered care, shared responsibility, and the collective well-being of our families.
Our Village is real, relational, and resourced.
We are:
Elders carrying ancestral memory
Fathers and partners reclaiming their sacred roles
Aunties, cousins, and kin offering meals, presence, and care
Practitioners, birthkeepers, healers, and wisdom-holders
Neighbors who know that when birthing people are well, communities thrive
Together, we hold life, navigate challenge, celebrate transformation, and create safety for the individual and the whole.
We do this because we know:
Our community cannot be whole unless our families are whole. And we do not wait for broken systems to catch up.
We gather. We build. We remember. Through communal care, we strengthen what our ancestors passed down and what our future generations deserve.
This is how we nurture thriving families, thriving births, and thriving Black and Brown communities.
