my philosophy
As a Traditional Birth Worker, I take a primal approach to being a wise guide in helping women remember & reclaim their power as they travel into the veil of pregnancy , shifting into the sacredness of birth. I offer ancestral wisdom + education as I hold space and provide holistic care for you and your family as a whole in your most sacred moments.
Let's consciously impact your experience together.
Akia Gaston – Maternal Health visionary, Childbirth Educator, Speaker | Founder, The School of Conscious Birth Work
Who am I
I am a mother of 2, a creative and deeply passionate concerning all the ways to positively impact humanity, beginning at the foundation of life.
My journey into birth work began with the births of my own children. Through those embodied experiences, I heard the call to support others in their own rites of passage and over the past 6 years I've done just that. My Mission is to globally help others cultivate a more expansive understanding of reproductive justice — and to recognize its deep connections to all systems of life, care, and community. As not only a birth worker, but A child birth educator and Founder of The School of Conscious Birth Work -I have a deep responsibility to guide aspiring doulas into this sacred calling with integrity, reverence, and purpose as well.
I believe that a conscious birth creates a conscious world and through my offerings, I’m here amplify that truth.
With love and purpose,
Akia
