Sovereign Birth with In Your Own Hands

At In Your Own Hands, we believe that birth is a sacred rite of passage, not a medical event. Our approach to pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care honors the ancient wisdom and power that lives within you.

As traditional birth attendants, we are non-medical professionals deeply rooted in the ancestral ways of physiologic birth. We partner with you to create a birth experience guided by your own innate knowing, not external timelines or protocols. Together, we'll prepare for the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual journey ahead - drawing upon natural remedies, holistic practices, and timeless ritual.

Our Goal: Protecting Your Sovereignty

Our goal is to protect your sovereignty, creating space for you to make authentic, self-guided choices about your body, your baby, and your transition into parenthood. We'll ensure you're fully informed on the full spectrum of options and support you in trusting your intuition.

A Sacred Relationship

This is not a clinical service—it's a sacred relationship. We'll walk alongside you as companions, providing physical comfort, emotional holding, and spiritual guidance. Our care is holistic in the truest sense, honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Many of our clients become lifelong friends as we navigate this journey in community.

Our Comprehensive Services

In addition to continuous labor support, our services include:

• On-going text support in a group chat with your birth team

• Prenatal meetings to tend to your whole well-being

• Postpartum follow-up care sessions

• Ritual ceremonies to mark your rites of passage

Rooted in Ancestral Wisdom

Throughout, we'll draw upon ancient wisdom, natural cycles, and ancestral ways, always honoring the sanctity of your choices and the power of your own innate knowing.

Your Birth. Your Way. Your Wisdom.

We'll hold the sacred space.
