Request an Auntie/Birthworker
An Indigenous Birthworker (Birthkeeper, Auntie, nikawis, reproductive health worker, etc) is a trained and mentored care provider, able to offer support for Indigenous Birthing families and individuals. Birthworkers are able to support through pre-natal, birth and postpartum, but some Birthworkers are able to support through all stages of life, depending on their expertise. By providing Emotional, Spiritual, physical and cultural support we can help bring Ceremony back to birth and into our families. Our Birthworkers have additional training and knowledge on advocacy and navigating healthcare.

Our Birthworkers are able to support in the following areas: 

  • Pregnancy options

  • Prenatal, birth, and postpartum support

  • Infant feeding support

  • Healthcare advocacy and system navigation

  • Direct referrals to culturally safe resources

  • Safety planning (i.e. living in an abusive situation, suicidal ideation, addiction, and more)

  • Cultural guidance and traditional medicines

  • Support families navigating CFS intervention
