This is the training you missed: the one that equips you to elevate your clients in the birth room. The one that educates you on the legal realities of birth, and on hospital policies, practices and loopholes. This is the training that helps you become a bridge-builder, a leader, and a confident representative of your client's needs and values as a certified patient advocate.

"I have been supporting families for about 10 years. I have had many trainings and read many books and listened to many podcasts, but I don't think I've learned more than I did at the two-day Advocacy Training!" - Rachael Hutchins, 2024 participant

 "I came to this training on the edge of birthworker burnout. My 7 year old practice, fueled by a passion for mitigating trauma and empowering birthing people, was hanging on by a thread from interfacing so often with a hostile and discriminating hospital system. Meredith and Alicia provided balanced tools and skills to bring with me into the birth room; their emphasis on both compassion and fierceness, clarity and curiosity, empathy and strength gave me a sense for what is actually possible." - J, 2025 participant

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"By far the best money I have ever spent on my work! Every. Birthworker. Needs. This." - Monique Moore, 2025 participant

"I was blown away at the material Alicia and Meredith presented in the Intentional Birth Advocacy Training. I am a seasoned birth worker and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I didn't know about advocacy. They empowered us with all the tips, tricks, loop holes, tools, and tactics. They both are highly emotionally intelligent, articulate, and balanced. It was a pleasure to spend a weekend learning at the feet of such powerful women. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" - Monica Wilkinson, 2025 participant

"Being a doula for 8 years, I was skeptical if I was going to get anything out of it and I'm overjoyed to say this might have been one of the most pivotal trainings I've done thus far in my career." - Hehe Stewart, 2024 participant

"The Advocacy Training upleveled my doula skills, even after being in the field for over 15 years. The clarity of tools and phrases to practice and have the parents use if needed, will make my prenatal visits much more effective, and my presence in the birth room much less overwhelming. It was also an incredible opportunity to connect with other birth professionals. I’m so glad I listened to that little voice inside that shouted “you have to go to this!” - Jenna Wilson, 2024 participant

"I am finally finding my voice. I just needed the words." - Julia Shirin, 2025 participant
