the Art of Tending
July 24th & 25th 2026 - 10am AEDT- Online
You've always sensed there was more to birth work... and so has every woman longing to be truly tended through pregnancy to postpartum.
What becomes possible when we expand the way we tend to women?
You begin to see the care of women through a different lens. One that expands what becomes possible, not by adding more techniques, but by cultivating discernment.
From this place, you begin to develop practical approaches and perspectives that complement your existing knowledge and expand the ways you can support women. You gain confidence in supporting women beyond appointments and education alone, while learning how to thoughtfully weave traditional wisdom into care that meets the needs of women today.
As Birth workers, we become the ones with something else to offer.
This knowledge is here to learn, preserve, and thoughtfully reweave into the care of women today.
That pull you feel is not accidental.
It is remembering.
Again and again, I have witnessed what becomes possible when women receive support that honours both worlds.
Traditional wisdom isn't about collecting practices. It's about cultivating discernment.
The practices matter, but it is the way they teach us to observe, listen, question and respond that transforms the care we offer women.
This is the Art of Tending
Care becomes devotion.
Women feel seen.
Families feel held.
And you leave knowing you brought something deeper to their journey.
What you offer expands. Your relationships with women deepen. And so does your capacity to walk alongside them outside pregnancy and into the full arc of their reproductive lives.
Call 1 — Tending the Expansion | Pregnancy | 10am AEDT 24th July
Call 2 — Tending the Emergence | Postpartum | 10am AEDT 25th July
It is the wisdom that existed long before modern maternity care—the practices that kept women emotionally and physically well, prepared, healthy and supported across cultures and generations.
As care became increasingly systematised, many of these traditions were gradually undervalued and left behind. Not because they didn’t work, but because the current system lacks space for them.
And it is deeply needed now, as women navigate a maternity landscape that often leaves little value on the depth of care they are longing for.
This knowledge is ours to learn, preserve, and to thoughtfully reweave into the care of women today.
That pull you feel is not accidental.
It is remembering.
Call 1 — Tending the Expansion | Pregnancy
An introduction to seeing pregnancy through a different lens, and exploring why traditional cultures have long understood this as a time to actively nourish, prepare and support a woman for the journey ahead.
Together we'll begin exploring:
• Nutrition as preventative medicine and its role in supporting healthy pregnancy and birth.
• Plant wisdom and the ways plants have traditionally been used to support women during pregnancy.
• Bodywork, alignment and approaches that support comfort, wellbeing and preparation for birth.
• Belly binding in pregnancy, its benefits and practical applications.
• Ceremony and ways of honouring pregnancy as a significant life transition.
Call 2 — Tending the Emergence | Postpartum
Learn why traditional cultures have consistently honoured a period of rest and recovery after birth, and what these practices can teach us about caring for women today.
Together we'll explore:
• Warmth as medicine through food, plants and traditional postpartum practices.
• Nutrition and nourishment for intentional postpartum recovery.
• Supporting the nervous system of both mother and baby during the early postpartum period.
• Bodywork and traditional approaches to postpartum healing.
• Belly binding in postpartum, including different styles and their uses.

“The knowledge shared was rich in wisdom, and you could feel it in every word. Sarah’s attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and willingness to teach made the two days a deeply profound experience.''
Nat, Private Midwife
“I feel really inspired and the knowledge that was shared in these teachings will stay with me for life. They have also been really helpful in getting clear on what resonates as a part of my individual offering."
Tahlia, Doula
"Oh my dear you are something else. My soul feels alive and clear.
You hold and lead and gather with such a potent inspiring frequency.
I cannot wait to show up to birth suite tomorrow even better than I
did today.''
Nicki, Student midwife
You may be wondering...
I'm new to traditional wisdom and don't know where to begin.
This is where. You need no prior knowledge to start here.
I work in a hospital, birth centre, private practice or home birth setting.
These principles can be thoughtfully woven into any model of care.
I feel drawn to these practices, but I'm unsure whether they are mine to hold and offer.
We will explore this with care, honouring lineage, cultural context and responsible practice.
I don't have time for another training.
These are two 90-minute calls, with lifetime access to the recordings.
I'm not sure I'm ready to make changes to my practice.
You don't need to have it all figured out. Curiosity is enough.
The timing isn't quite right.
Your access never expires. This knowledge will be here when you're ready to return to it.
The learning I've been looking for has felt financially out of reach.
At $99 per call or $160 for both, this offering has been intentionally priced to make these teachings accessible and available to more birth workers
This is not simply information.
It is an invitation to remember.
To reconnect with the wisdom women have carried for generations.
To deepen the way you walk alongside women through pregnancy and postpartum.
And to become part of preserving and carrying this knowledge forward for the generations that follow.
If something in you recognises this, trust that.
