Keeping Birth Sacred
I believe in autonomous birth. Birth is a natural process, designed to work safely and efficiently even if no one else is around. I believe that it is within the rights of every woman to choose to birth her children when and how she deems fit.
No one in the world cares more about the well-being of the unborn than the mother that carries these babies in her very womb. It is those mothers whom I trust implicitly to make the right call for the safety of herself and her baby.
Every mother has the right to unbiased informed consent regarding her prenatal care.
I boldly affirm:
-
That women alone give birth
-
That there are only 2 genders
-
That every life is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God and that His ways are always perfect
-
That women deserve to have this sacred space defended and protected at all costs
The Birth Keeper Model
What is it to go beyond birth?
I believe maternal wellness extends far beyond the confines of the labor room. True care for mothers involves creating a sacred space for each woman to embrace her instincts, allowing her intuition to flourish, and witnessing the rebirth of a woman who has fully claimed her power. It means trusting women when they share their experiences and sensations in their bodies. The concept of matrescence has recently entered our collective consciousness, revealing the radical truth that women are never meant to return to who they were before having children - it is an impossibility. The death of the maiden and the birth of the mother represent the most extraordinary human transformation on this earth. This journey does not begin with the birth of a baby but rather when we, as women, assume responsibility for our lives, our choices, and seize the power granted to us by The Lord. This power is not easily served to us on a silver platter; it is something we must claim for ourselves through faith and discernment. Going beyond birth is to see the whole woman before you - she is the culmination of maidenhood, motherhood, and all the lived experiences in between which will continue to shape the woman she is and will always be.
How does our power relate to birth if it is not inherently derived from the experience of labor?
When a woman chooses autonomous birth, she is not demonstrating how much pain she can endure or how physically strong she is. Instead, she is consciously choosing three things: to take responsibility for her decisions, to trust her intuition, and to listen to the profound communication between her body and her baby. When a woman embraces these choices and emerges on the other side, she becomes unstoppable. The trust she gains in herself, her body, and her intuition is strengthened and deeply rooted. She enters motherhood stronger and more confident than ever before. Childbirth is the hero’s journey of the woman—a journey that forges a powerful, confident, and self-assured force to be reckoned with.
When sons and daughters are born to powerful women, they inherit the ripple effect of their mother’s strength. These children grow into strong men and women, continuing this beautiful cycle of regeneration and growth. Husbands who witness the strength and power of their wives before, during, and after birth are privileged to see a fierce warrior in action, a warrior who commands respect and reverence, not through dominance, but through the sheer force of her resilience, love, and unwavering commitment. They witness the transformation of a woman who uplifts those around her. This experience forever deepens the bond between partners, creating a shared understanding that the true essence of strength lies in the ability to nurture, protect, and lead. In witnessing this, husbands gain not just a deeper appreciation for their wives, but also a fervent respect for the sacred journey of motherhood—a journey that redefines power and reshapes the very fabric of their family’s future.
What does it mean to birth autonomously?
Autonomous birth is a deeply personal journey in which a woman claims full responsibility over her birthing experience. It’s about trusting her body’s innate wisdom, listening to her intuition, and making decisions that resonate with her truest self. Autonomy in birth doesn’t require a mother to birth alone, stay at home, remain unmedicated, or even give birth vaginally. Rather, it’s about women embracing the natural and transformational process of bringing life into the world on her own terms. This choice reflects a life-altering act of self-trust and courage, where she, not protocols, guides the experience—honoring the ancient, instinctual knowledge within her and celebrating the strength that comes from birthing in the way she feels most called.
