For those Who are Called

Some arrive on the path through their own motherhood journey. Others feel drawn to community care or envision a service-based profession. Each carries a deep desire to offer compassionate care during a mother’s most tender transitions.

You may already work as a doula, chef, herbalist, or nutritionist—and have either witnessed the gaps in postpartum care or experienced them firsthand. You value presence over perfection and deep nourishment over nutritional dogma.

Whether envisioning in-home postpartum care, launching a meal delivery offering, or integrating sacred nourishment into an existing path, you seek guidance, community, and sustainable structure.

This training equips those with a heart of service with the practical tools, confidence, and connection needed to support the mothers of her village.
