Sacred Birthcraft
The Ancient Art of Standing at the Threshold
Where forgotten wisdom meets modern birth work
An 8-month initiation for those called to reclaim the forgotten Holy language of being with birth
May 2025 - January 2026
THE CALLING
You've felt it—that quiet knowing that birth work is more than protocols and interventions.
You've glimpsed it—those sacred moments when you stand at the threshold between worlds.
You've sensed it—the ancient wisdom that once flowed through generations of birth keepers.
These moments are not coincidences—they are glimpses of your birthright as a keeper of ancient wisdom. For millennia, birth workers have carried this knowing in their bones, passing it from hand to hand, heart to heart.
But in our modern birth culture, that wisdom has been silenced.
Birth workers now stand at a crossroads. The systems we navigate daily have forgotten the language of the body. The weight of this forgotten knowing rests heavy on your shoulders. You carry the burden of bridging worlds—honoring the sacred while navigating the clinical, tending to the soul while minding the monitor.
And it's exhausting you.
This is not sustainable. And it's not how birth was meant to be attended.
Sacred Birthcraft is where you weave your clinical knowledge with the wise woman within. This is the place where technique meets intuition—where you learn not just how to support birth, but how to embody presence, power, and peace in every moment.
THE INVITATION
What if the revolution we seek isn't about fighting against systems, but remembering what we've always known?
What if your exhaustion isn't a sign of weakness, but your body's wisdom calling you home to a more sustainable way of practicing?
What if the missing piece in your practice isn't another certification, but a remembering of the ancient art of birthcraft?
Sacred Birthcraft is an initiation journey where you are held within the ancient myth of Inanna's descent—a pathway that connects you more deeply to your inner knowing while enhancing your clinical observation and skills.
This is a space where global traditions are honored. You are welcome to bring your ancestral knowledge to the circle.
This is for anyone called to be with birth—whether you are a licensed professional, traditional birthkeeper, or emerging soul-guide.
Whether your wisdom comes from textbooks, temples, or the stories of your grandmother, there is space for you here.
This program is both an initiation and a homecoming—a journey into the forgotten skills of those who have stood at birth's threshold since the beginning of time. Here, you'll reclaim not just what to do, but how to be with birth in all its mystery and power.
FOR THOSE WHO STAND AT THE THRESHOLD
This 8-month journey is for you if:
You are a midwife, doula, or birth worker who feels the stirring of ancient knowing beneath the protocols and paperwork
You're newly graduated and didn't receive the soul nourishment you hoped for in your training
You've been practicing for years but have lost your passion and purpose (perhaps even considering leaving the field)
You've recently shifted your practice (hospital to home, region to region) and seek centered guidance
You've weathered difficult years and need replenishment and community
You crave sacred sisterhood and a circle where your knowing is not only welcome—but celebrated
You intuitively know there's a missing piece in your practice—a wisdom beyond protocols
You're weary of fighting against birth systems and ready for a more sustainable approach to change
JOIN US AS WE DELVE INTO:

The Forgotten Language of Your Body

THE HOLY TRINITY
At the heart of this journey lies the Holy Trinity of Birthcraft—a practical methodology
that enhances your clinical skills and transforms your birth practice:
OBSERVATION
The Art of Witnessing
Learn specific techniques to sharpen your assessment skills beyond standard protocols. You'll develop the refined ability to see without judgment, reading the subtle language of the birthing body and environment with greater accuracy. Participants report improved ability to detect subtle changes that precede complications, allowing for earlier, less invasive interventions.
DISCERNMENT
The Wisdom of Waiting
Master the decision-making process that distinguishes between true pathology and normal variation. You'll recognize precisely when intervention serves birth and when patience preserves its physiological flow. This skill alone transforms practice, reducing unnecessary interventions while improving safety and satisfaction.
ACTION
The Courage of Clear Response
Develop hands that know exactly when and how to act. When intervention is necessary, you'll move with precision and effectiveness, neither hesitating from uncertainty nor rushing from anxiety. You'll learn specific techniques for touch and verbal guidance that work harmoniously with the body's innate capabilities.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How is this different from other birth education?
Sacred Birthcraft isn’t about rout learning—it's about remembering the wisdom your hands already carry while gaining practical skills that enhance your clinical expertise. While most education focuses on what to do, we focus equally on how to be. This program integrates technical skill with intuitive knowing, practical tools with sacred presence.
I'm already overwhelmed. Will this be too much?
This journey is designed as medicine for the overwhelmed birth worker. Our container honors cyclical rhythms, includes spaciousness for integration, and teaches sustainable ways of practicing that prevent burnout rather than contributing to it. You'll learn specific techniques for managing energy and maintaining boundaries while deepening your practice.
Is this only for those who attend homebirths?
The wisdom of birthcraft belongs in every birth space. Whether you practice in homes, birth centers, or hospitals, these principles will transform how you hold space, make decisions, and offer support—regardless of setting. Many hospital-based practitioners find these skills especially valuable for creating physiological birth experiences within institutional settings.
Will there be CEUs or certification?
While Sacred Birthcraft isn't focused on certification, many participants find that its principles enhance every aspect of their practice. We can provide documentation of hours completed for those seeking continuing education units. The skills you gain will complement and enhance your existing credentials. There is approval from Australian and New Zealand Midwifery Councils for elective education CPD.
FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
"I love to gently blow on the fire in women's bellies to help rekindle the embers, to awaken the fire that helps us remember our bodies, our knowing as powerful and Holy."
For 23 years, I've stood at birth's threshold as a homebirth midwife. I've witnessed the dance between worlds as a mother and grandmother. Through my practice, I've woven together the threads of traditional midwifery, Spinning Babies® techniques, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, STREAM scar tissue remediation, and somatic sexology.
But my deepest passion lies in speaking the ancient language of birthcraft so we don't lose it—so that it continues to flow through generations of birth keepers who understand that our work is both practical and sacred, both scientific and mysterious.
I invite you to join me at the space where the sacred meets science, where we can meet women, families, and systems where they are, creating a new culture of birth that honors both ancient wisdom and modern understanding.
—Claire

The revolution begins with remembering.
