We provide culturally-relevant, trauma-informed care to Indigenous families through the full-spectrum of reproductive-health related experiences, including pregnancy, birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, family planning, menstruation, and abortion. We offer educational workshops and trainings to families, doulas, and health systems partners. Our work takes place in our clients’ homes, hospitals and clinical settings.
We serve families who self-identify as Indigenous. Primarily we serve pregnant people and new parents who identify as women. Our clients include racialized Indigenous and Indigenous LGBTQ2 people, people who use drugs, people involved with child welfare, insecurely housed folks, and people who have travelled to Vancouver for perinatal healthcare services from other parts of the province. We work alongside midwives, doctors and other health systems partners to educate and advocate for Indigenous women’s health and gender inclusivity in reproductive health care.
Indigenous Full Spectrum Doula Training
Our full spectrum doula training program launched in 2019 and centres the culturally rooted nature of Indigenous doula care, while attending to the physiology of birth, and contemporary contexts that shape Indigenous peoples’ reproductive choices, experiences, and outcomes.
Indigenous Prenatal Course
Our prenatal course was developed in 2021 for Indigenous families by Indigenous birth workers, to offer a culturally-relevant, Indigenous-centred prenatal class offering that goes above and beyond the typical mainstream childbirth education course.
