Welcome Sister,

Women are re-awakening to the possibility that birth can be an empowering journey…

I am passionate about growing a sisterhood of birth keepers to support women & families through the sacred rite of passage of birth.

Drawing upon over 20 years of rich birth experience and having attended over 475 births as midwife, doula, and birth keeper, I’ve created the Sacred Birth Path to educate and empower birth workers everywhere.

This course weaves ancient wisdom with modern birth knowledge and holistic techniques to help you, too, develop into a Sacred Birth Keeper.

It is a powerful calling, to serve women through this sacred threshold into motherhood. and welcoming our next generation.

Join me if you hear the call...

It is an honor to welcome you to our Sacred Circle!

Love, Hope Medford

Childbirth has increasingly been seen as a medical event rather than a natural process, leading to unnecessary interventions and risks.

This robs women of their authentic birth experience, leaving them feeling disempowered and disconnected, and often causing physical and emotional suffering.

It can also hinder bonding and breastfeeding, which has long-lasting consequences affecting the well-being of both mother and baby.

We need more birth keepers
to protect the sacred birth space and advocate for respecting the authentic power of birth

We need you!
