SBS Comprehensive Home Birth Guide

"As a doula and simply as a woman, the Sacred Birth Symposium was an incredibly resourceful event to attend. It was filled with incredible speakers, deep dives into my favorite birth topics, and even more, newer insights I hadn't had the opportunity to explore yet. There truly was something for every kind of birthworker and every kind of birthing woman.

For women outside the birthworker community, I can see how eye-opening and empowering the information shared was. I feel more resourced and more excited than ever before to continue serving women in the birthing world. The way we birth can change the world and ultimately change ourselves. Big thank you to Alison and Nelson for putting together such an amazing experience"

"I was not pregnant at the time of the Sacred Birth Symposium, but knowing we would expand our family someday I was strongly called to attend the event.

My mind was blown away by the quality of information and experts that were gathered under one roof. To have key thought leaders and providers across the birthing spectrum brought in to share their most salient points of wisdom was invaluable and has saved me countless hours scrolling the internet and asking around looking for resources. I found the sessions to be just the right length - long enough to get deep on a topic but not overwhelming, and with recommendations for where and how to get more info. As I was taking in all of the information throughout the afternoon sessions, I felt a deep sense of inner peace knowing that these wise women and men were so aligned with many of my values, and also moved by new information that I know will take me deeper into this sacred space for my next birth.

After having 2 babies, I thought I was decently well educated on the natural birth space but this symposium opened my eyes even further and has given me the confidence to pursue a home birth with my next baby as we are expecting now. Thank you Alison and Nelson for blessing us with this wealth of knowledge!"

"I absolutely loved being a part of the Sacred Birth speaker team. Alison & Nelson were so welcoming, helpful and passionate about the event and made my experience so beautiful.

Alison & Nelson created an event full of education and information for women & their partner to learn from conception, to birth preparation to interventions to home birth and so much more! They wanted to give back the power to the parents to birth on their own terms by created a space where you can take informed decisions for your family. They also created a beautiful and strong community.

I loved learning from other speaker. All the speakers were so knowledgeable & brought something unique to the event. Not only the event was powerful by itself with so much information given during the 2 day weekend but also in the companion guide & the birth network ebook! If you want to learn more about home births and feel empowered about your choice don’t look further!"

"Thank you Alison & Nelson for hosting the Sacred Birth Symposium here in Austin, Texas. This was absolutely an amazing event. I’m grateful to have spent a weekend surrounded by families who all wanted to get back to their primal roots, conceiving and birthing children wildly. There was soo much deep wisdom shared this weekend. I felt loved and full of compassion. I felt safe to open up and talk about my birth experience. Thinking back I don’t feel like I had a lot of support birthing my daughter outside of the hospital. Or how to prepare my body to host another life, to heal once I’ve opened the portal for a soul to come through. So many aspects of birth I never even considered because it simply was just never talked about among my friends or family. Attending this event really empowered me to my core, confirming the voice with in myself that I am a powerful being. And birth isn’t something to give away. I feel like everyone could benefit from the wisdom shared this weekend. It was more than just a “birthing class”. Passion was the center surrounded by love. If you feel like your ready to start your journey taking back your power and transforming the energy around your conception & birth story, the sacred birth symposium is a great place to start. Although the weekend has passed, the community built around this is only just beginning. It’s our time to create a new reality for future generations to come. And it all starts with birth!"

“I freebirthed my soulmate & I’s baby at home in January .. just us in the comfort of our bedroom 😍 it was my dream birth. I had a wild pregnancy so the gender was a surprise and we had a son!! Before SBS I had started on the path/rabbit hole of rediscovering natural & physiological birth wisdom, because I had an interest in working with women and getting ready to be a mom. The SBS really gave me the best foundation of knowledge and tools for what I wanted, what things meant, how things worked, what is possible, what I was capable of, how much wisdom Womben’s bodies have innately & how perfectly created they are, how magical life and creation are, and sooo much valuable biological & physiological information. It also illuminated the path of my mothering journey ahead. A few weeks later we tried and conceived the first time!! And I was deep into the passion of studying birth & pregnancy <3 it’s been a wild and beautiful journey. Thanks for changing my family’s & I’s life forever💗 In addition to rewilding, reclaiming, and embodying wombanhood.. and healing ancestral traumas from generations of obstetric abuse... I got to authentically share my birth story with my parents who felt healed through my story as well <3 the healing ripples throughout generations.. forwards and backwards ❣️ Wombanhood and motherhood are so beautiful and magical! I’m forever grateful!!”
