Hygieia Health Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation, a wing of the School of Shamanic Womancraft. We are dedicated to the prevention and treatment of birth-related and perinatal trauma.
We are dedicated to the sacred work of birth and the impact it has on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of women, their families, and birth workers. We believe that “Peace on Earth begins at Birth,” as Jeanine Parvarti Baker so poignantly stated. We strive to provide birth workers, obstetricians, midwives, and doulas with the knowledge and skills necessary to care for themselves and others, and to return birth to its rightful place as a profound rite of passage. Our mission is to support women on their journey to childbirth, ensuring that they receive safe and trauma-free birth services and support. We aim to raise awareness of the occurrence and consequences of birth trauma and provide women and birth workers with the tools, education, resources and support they need to prepare for, and experience, a safe, positive birth. |
