Community Birth Village
Ancestral
Community Caregiver & Birthworker
Celebrating and supporting the family "village" before, during, and well after birth.
History
In the past, the Conjurers, Brujas, Root Doctors, Midwives, and Parteras were a staple in the community. They were more than baby catchers and gardeners. They were also: the lactation consultants, midwives, family medicine practitioners, labor and delivery doulas, postpartum doulas, nannies, counselors, health educators, and spiritual healers.The community birth village was originally founded by Ricki Reign to support pregnant and postpartum folks. However, it has grown to be the birthplace of developing holistic wellness and support to families at all stages.It is our mission to serve the community and share the ancestral wisdom of our Indigenous ancestors, while reinstating "the village" within the community.
How to
Re-Introduce
'The Village"?
Want to extend your village? Ricki, our resident ancestral wellness practitioner develops community through the practice of sisterhood. The purpose of this Sister Circle is to rebuild our village and repair the connection with our matriarchs.This FREE community gathering "Birth Your Village" is to repair that severed bond and heal the mother wound. This circle is focused on the healing of black, brown, and indigenous wombs and communities.
