Workshops

Own Your Birth is a community of holistic practitioners that is committed to advocating for you and your family. 

Our Maternal Birth Support will prepare you to make educated decisions about your pregnancy and birth. From selecting your health-care provider to understanding routine procedures and interventions.

But what do you do once the baby arrives? Don’t worry, we got you covered.

Own Your Birth is offering a Postpartum Workshop to assist new parents in building their knowledge, confidence and network after having a new baby.

At six weeks, when the postpartum care of a doctor or midwife ends, many of the challenges associated with postpartum are feared. These challenges include but are not limited to breastfeeding and breast health, pelvic floor and caesarean recovery, anxiety, self-care and a host of mental health diagnosis.

We believe that all families should have all the information to curate a postpartum plan that suits them and their lifestyle no matter the unique dynamic of their family or personal decisions.

The Own Your Postpartum workshop is a comprehensive tool that supports maternal health by providing critical information and tools for planning for rest, support, care during the first weeks after birth, and self-care. It asserts the knowledge of traditional postpartum practices that emphasize deep recovery and bonding.

This workshop will include a postpartum planning workbook “Build Your Nest”, written by Kestrel Gates an advocate of postpartum health and wellbeing and is offered online as part of your birth package, or quarterly in a private group setting.
