Community

Aligning your sovereign birth-work journey with Free Birth Society, means you have chosen to enter a circle of women committed to radical responsibility, integrity, and success. 

The MatriBirth Mentor Institute invites you into a private community with elevated standards that will be held for the entire duration of the school. MMI is a space where you can connect with sister students and build intentional networks from the beginning of your journey. 

The MatriBirth Mentor Institute Curriculum


The MMI curriculum offers an expansive collection of live classes, recorded lectures, community integration meetings, spotlight workshops, and intimate mentor groups, spanning ten full months.
 This is where independent birth-work meets leading-edge business school, meets life-changing conscious leadership tools.

QUARTER 1: September 1st - November 14th 

The Tools of Self-Mastery 

The first step towards embodying the role of leader in one’s community and embarking on the path of sovereign birth-work involves excavating the Self, and claiming a life of integrity.

Based on the The Conscious Leadership Institute pedagogy (and introduced briefly in The Radical Birth Keeper School), the tools of self-mastery involves a deep dive into the a reconfiguration of consciousness, giving you the skills required to become a self-actualized leader in the birth world and beyond.

The Art of The MatriBirth Mentor

Sovereign Childbirth Education

Teaching, Coaching, and Birth Trauma Debriefs

It is a delight to introduce within the MatriBirth Mentor Institute program, two core MatriBirth methodologies: The MatriBirth Trauma Integration Method and MatriBirth Sovereign Childbirth Education.  

The MatriBirth Sovereign Childbirth Education program is a complete training in our unique signature childbirth education curriculum, rooted in the consciousness of radical responsibility and birth liberation.

The program includes a teacher manual, sample class plans, instruction on how to teach with power and inspiration, and parent handouts, along with a module on successfully marketing your birth education classes in your community and online. 

The MatriBirth Trauma Integration Method is an unprecedented leading-edge coaching program that offers a profoundly compassionate, emancipatory, and effective approach to supporting women who are healing from obstetric violence, abuse, and mistreatment.

The MatriBirth Trauma Integration Method approach combines a revolutionary understanding of the root causes not only of birth-related trauma itself, but of its reverberations throughout the collective culture and individual lifelines, with a focus on integrating and resolving subconscious patterning. This module will equip MMI students with the core competencies required to begin a practice as skilled birth-related trauma debrief practitioners.

ENROLL NOW

Our Monthly Spotlight Workshops for '25-'26

We’re honored to feature a powerful lineup of brilliant teachers sharing rare, invaluable teachings. These sessions dive deep into the wisdom, skills, and nuance essential to a truly sovereign birth practice.

Supporting Fertility Outside the System

Kristin Hauser

We are living in a time of profound fertility confusion—and collapse.

Women are told their bodies are broken. That time is running out. That IVF is their only option. Meanwhile, the roots of true fertility—sovereignty, nourishment, relationship, and rhythm—are overlooked entirely.

In this potent 3-hour workshop, women’s health expert Kristin Hauser offers a grounded, holistic, and radically honest alternative.

Together, we’ll explore the most common causes of fertility challenges—including PCOS, endometriosis, “unexplained infertility,” and low sperm count—and how to support conception outside of the industrial reproductive complex.

This is essential knowledge for every woman—whether you're walking your own fertility journey or called to support others on theirs.

Come reclaim what was always yours: trust in the body's wisdom, and clarity on how to support its unfolding.

Supporting The First 40 Days of Postpartum

Nancy Lucina

The postpartum window is a sacred portal—meant to be soft, slow, nourishing, and held. In this deeply reverent workshop, postpartum guide and ceremonial keeper Nancy Lucina shares the universal pillars found across traditional cultures that honor and protect the mother during her first forty days. You'll learn how to prepare your clients—and yourself—to experience this passage as a time of deep restoration, integration, and love. We’ll explore best practices for energetic hygiene, physical support, and emotional attunement in those critical early weeks, as well as how to hold sacred space for women and couples who experience loss—so that the postpartum journey is honored with integrity, no matter the outcome of the birth.

This is postpartum care as it was always meant to be: embodied, ancestral, and profoundly healing.

Naturopathic Wisdom for Pregnancy, Labor, and Postpartum

Dr. Jen Tice

This is the medicine our great-grandmothers knew—and the one today’s women are aching to remember.

In this transformative 3-hour workshop, Dr. Jen Tice, naturopathic doctor and mother, guides you through the foundational tools of traditional, holistic care for the full arc of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Rooted in vitalism and the body’s innate intelligence, this offering is both practical and profound.

You’ll learn how to support mothers with plant medicine, targeted nutrition for true vitality, homeopathic remedies to ease common discomforts, and hydrotherapy techniques that soothe, ground, and restore. Whether addressing nausea, fatigue, birth recovery, or lactation, this is care that works with the body—not against it.

This workshop is a rich initiation into the kind of healing every woman deserves—and every aspiring sovereign birth-worker must carry.

The Business of Birth and the Body

Yolande Norris-Clark

What if the way you inhabit your body is the very key to the success of your business, your mothering, and your mission?

In this provocative and powerful workshop, Yolande Norris-Clark explores the profound relationship between your physical form and your public presence—how embodiment, strength, and somatic conditioning shape the way you show up in your work, your visibility, and your leadership.

We’ll examine how the architecture of your body reflects your internal programming, and how shifting your physicality can rewire identity, dismantle old personae, and call forth a new experience of womanhood—at every stage.

Part somatic inquiry, part business training, and all radical reclamation—this workshop offers a bold invitation: become the woman your work requires. Starting with your body.

Introducing the Village Prenatal

Sister MorningStar

The Village Prenatal is not a class. It is not a clinic. It is not a performance.

It is a living ceremony—a reclamation of what was never meant to be lost. A return to community, to the women, to the circle. A return to belonging.

Brought forth and carried across the world by the beloved elder midwife Sister MorningStar, the Village Prenatal is a simple yet profound way of gathering in honor of the pregnant woman—one that nourishes her body, her spirit, and her place within the tribe.

Now, for the first time inside MMI, Sister is here to teach you how to hold and carry this sacred tradition.

You will learn how to create your own Village Prenatal in your community—whether in a living room, a backyard, or a birth space—bringing rhythm, reverence, and remembrance to the wombfull women you serve.

This is how we restore the village. This is how we keep birth sacred.

Staying Sovereign After Birth: Foundations of a FREE Family

Veda Ray

Sovereign birth is just the beginning. In this powerful and paradigm-shifting workshop, Veda Revival invites you to expand your vision of birth work to include what comes next: raising children outside the reach of the state. Too often, families fight for a sovereign birth—only to unknowingly surrender their baby back to the system by signing a birth certificate or applying for a Social Security number. This class is for the birth workers ready to support their clients in protecting what they’ve fought for—after the birth. 

Over three hours, you’ll explore the foundational principles behind raising a child without government documents, how to navigate private jurisdiction with clarity and confidence, and what it really means to live in true informed consent—rooted not in fear, but in love and alignment. This is not about ideology. It’s about integrity. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of why families choose this path, how they live it, and how to hold this conversation with your clients—so they’re not just birthing in sovereignty, but living it, too. For many, this is the missing link. Don’t hand them back to the system. Walk with them into lifelong freedom.

Your Sacred Inheritance: Reclaiming the Power of Trusts 

Minister Samantha & Minister Dionne

Are you ready to reclaim what was always yours—your sacred inheritance?

This transformational 3-hour workshop is not just about legal documents or estate planning. It’s about awakening to your divine role as a steward of identity, legacy, and wealth—beyond colonial programming, beyond systemic contracts, and beyond fear.

Together, we’ll strip away illusions, explore the spiritual and historical origins of trusts, and illuminate how modern commerce has replaced sovereignty with dependency. You’ll learn how Rome’s legal system shaped our understanding of ownership, why abandonment has both spiritual and legal implications, and how to move from public status to private power.

This is a powerful initiation into the world of trusts, offered in plain language. 

Compelling Copy: Authentic Business Communications and Copywriting

Yolande Norris-Clark

Your words are your transmission. In this rich and practical workshop, Yolande Norris Clark guides you through the evolving art of writing for your birth business—from websites and newsletters to social media and sales pages. Together, we’ll explore how to craft authentic, compelling copy that truly reflects your values, voice, and vision—without selling out, diluting your message, or playing to the algorithm. You’ll learn foundational principles of copywriting, how to write for connection instead of performance, and how to share your truth in a way that magnetizes the women you’re here to serve. Whether you're refreshing your brand, writing Instagram captions, or birthing an offering into the world, this workshop will leave you with tangible tools—and the confidence to say what you mean, and mean what you say. Because in this paradigm, your voice is the revolution.

Birth Story Sharing Circle 

Emilee Saldaya

Storytelling is one of the most ancient technologies of womanhood—and birth story sharing is among the most potent.

In this deeply intimate and initiatory workshop, you’ll be guided by Emilee through a live birth story circle: a sacred space where women are witnessed in the truth of their births. This experience is both personal and practical—designed to support your own integration while also teaching you how to confidently lead these powerful circles in your community, your practice, and your sisterhood.

Together, we’ll explore how to hold space with reverence, how to invite depth and safety, and how to use story as a tool for healing, reclamation, and remembrance.

Whether you’re here to share, to witness, or to learn how to lead—this circle will inspire you.

Persona Party

Emilee Saldaya

Welcome to one of the most beloved and revealing workshops inside MMI.

In this intimate, confronting, and hilariously accurate session, Emilee guides you into the theater of your own psyche to meet the cast of characters that unconsciously run your life—your self-protective, self-sabotaging personas.

These are the masks you wear to be liked, to stay safe, to avoid rejection… and they are keeping you from the full aliveness, presence, and truth that are your birthright.

Through laughter, embodiment, and bold truth-telling, you’ll begin to unhook from the outdated scripts you've been living out—and walk away with practical tools to play with, integrate, and lovingly manage these parts of yourself.

This is a live, on-camera, participatory experience. Be ready to show up. Be ready to play. Be ready to meet yourself.

Spotlight Teacher Library 

With each year of the MatriBirth Mentor Institute, our guest teachers offer transformative, embodied workshops. These sessions don’t disappear—they’re added to our growing Spotlight Teacher Library, an ever-expanding archive you’ll have ongoing access to. That means you receive not just this year’s wisdom, but the legacy of all those who came before you.

 

Our past teacher workshops include:
 
Sister MorningStar

The Primal Newborn Transition:  | It is with great honor and privilege that we welcome elder independent midwife and high priestess, Sister MorningStar, to share her wisdom on the final stages of birth and the newborn transition, including the birth of the placenta. Sister is a foremother in the sovereign midwifery movement, with a particular passion in the newborn transition. She will teach you about the newborn first breaths from both a physiological and spiritual perspective, how to support a woman as she releases the placenta, and how to hold space for a mother intuitively assisting her baby to transition. 

Dr. Rebecca Cohen

The Postpartum Pelvis | Join sovereign midwife, OBGYN turned RBK graduate, and holistic women’s health care practitioner to learn about the postpartum pelvis from a physiological standpoint. You’ll discover the ancient practices that support real pelvic healing after birth, including how to prepare the women you serve for this sacred time. This workshop will cover prolapse, tearing, diastasis-recti, and more. This is essential wisdom for anyone working with postpartum women.

 

Arielle de Martinez

Herbs, Homeopathy, and Cell Salts | This workshop will introduce the application of natural medicines for both the midwife herself, and the families she serves. You'll learn the art of cultivating an effective, respectful, and appropriate relationship to plant allies and earth’s healing elements, with an emphasis on the distinction between allopathic herbalism and the role plants and natural healing can play throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Nancy Lucina

Ritualizing the Motherhood Continuum | Join Nancy Lucina, Shamanic Facilitator, to learn the importance of ritual and ceremony for marking significant passages in women’s lives. Nancy will guide you through the steps to ritualize pregnancy loss, mother blessings, and the postpartum transition. This aspect of midwifery is incredibly important as you learn to support women through such powerful portals as pregnancy, birth, and newborn motherhood. The skill of shamanic facilitation will support you and the women you serve to access real, sustainable growth and embodiment through these passages.  

Kristin Hauser

The Female Hormonal Matrix | Learn from hormone expert, acupuncturist and herbalist, Kristin Hauser, about the hormonal phases of a woman's life cycle. Hormones are not a pathology. Instead, they weave a rich tapestry of thriving health throughout our reproductive lives. This workshop will give you an understanding of the phases of womanhood through the lens of our amazing hormones as they impact pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond, and how to physiologically support women through it all.

Andrea Sager

3 Steps to Legally Protect Your Business | Learn from Business Attorney, Andrea Sager, about the essential foundations of legally protecting your business—including entities (LLCs), contracts, and intellectual property. This is a powerful addition for anyone building their practice or dreaming into their future work.

These pods remain consistent throughout the program, fostering deep connection, trust, and sisterhood as students walk this transformational path together.
