A Sacred 9-Month Online Immersion
February 7 – October 2027

Step into your calling as a Traditional Birth Guardian and sacred space holder.

This transformational immersion is for women who feel called to walk alongside families through the profound thresholds of pregnancy, birth and postpartum within their communities.

Rooted in an understanding of birth physiology, ancestral remembrance and traditional wisdom, this journey invites you to deepen your knowledge while cultivating the presence, trust and reverence needed to tend the sacred passage of birth.

Together, we will weave ancient ways of knowing with a deep understanding of Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum. Remembering the wisdom that lives within us and learning to tend birth with our prayers, hands, hearts and presence.

The Call is Rising

This is a sacred invitation to those who feel it in their bones...
The time is now. To return to the earth. To remember the ways of the grandmothers, the pateras and your ancestors. To walk beside women as they cross one of life’s most powerful thresholds: birth.

This is a true dedication to the divine path, an unfolding of yourself as you step into service.This is a devotional act in deciding to hold birth as ceremony, family as sacred, and womanhood as a portal to life, love and all that is beyond us.

I am ready

This is for the woman who:

  • Feels the undeniable pull to support women and families through birth, postpartum, and beyond

  • Trusts the innate intelligence of the body and the spirit of birth

  • Honours conception, pregnancy, birth, and motherhood as spiritual rites of passage

  • Is ready to enter altered states of awareness and hold space with humility and presence

  • Yearns to reconnect with ancestral knowledge, the abuelas, and sacred ceremonies

  • Wants to learn everything she can about birth — from the mystical to the physical

This is a 7-month online path, designed for women ready to awaken their role as a traditional birth tender. You’ll receive fortnightly live teachings, practices, and ongoing support and community guided by a diverse and powerful faculty of wise teachers.

Together we’ll explore:

  • The role of the Wise Woman — and how to fully embody her

  • Prenatal support and holistic, hands-on birth skills

  • Voice activation and its connection to labor, empowerment, and expression

  • Sacred pregnancy and postpartum ceremonies, rituals, and herbal care

  • Rebozo work, belly binding, and ancient placenta medicine

  • Ayurvedic wisdom for pregnancy and postpartum

  • Navigating medical birth with sovereignty and clarity

  • The presence of death in the birth space — and how to honour it

  • Deep womb presence, spiritual activations, and the art of being with birth

Your Time is Now

If you’ve been waiting for a sign — this is it.
The world is remembering.
The women are rising.
The gates are open, but only for a short time.

Join us for a journey that will change you forever — and ripple through every woman, every child, every family you touch, transforming not only their lives but your own.

  • “This is a must do course. Absolutely amazing! They blend so well science, spirit, ancient wisdom and what is being looked into as the way forward. It contains an incredible amount of relevant information, a wonderful reading list and the most beautiful teachers, interviews and people holding space, sharing learning etc. It should be mandatory for women to learn how incredible we are and how birth unites us regardless of whether we have children. Such an honour to do this course. Thank you Dani, Sarah and all the other beautiful women sharing their wisdom. Thank you for helping me see how sacred and incredible life truly is.

  • “I had the most profound journey during this course which transformed my life here and now as a woman. I didn’t have an idea how deep the service as a birthkeeper is for me and for the humanity. I did a huge inner work every class! I never ever could imagine all I went through! I learnt about how to prepare myself to be a better woman to myself and to other women. It was so incredible to receive knowledge from different wise women, with different experiences and perspectives. This made every class intense and unique. I liked every subject, I liked to have the material/resources available for me all the time, and I loved the relationship we are having through whatsapp as well. I am grateful to have this opportunity, to have this sacred and safe space to cry, to speak, to listen, and to be. I don’t have any regret in terms of investment and time. Every things was perfect for me. I can’t wait for more knowledge and connection from Soma-Shakti.”

  • “This course came in the right time of my life. I felt this strong call to join, without really knowing if this is the way I wanted to go. I felt it so strong, that I joined. From the first class on I knew that I made the best decision. What a journey together it has been, listening and learning from such empowering women, the sacred birth space is something you feel in your bones and you feel the call and you listen to it. Being of service is quite big, but its what we came to do. From my own birth story, I knew I needed to heal to be in service and this course took me on such a deep healing and acceptance. The wonderful women in the course made me feel safe, heard and seen."

  • “During my first pregnancy I received very strong messages, a deep knowing birth work was calling me. I didn’t know what my first step would be, just trusted I’d know when it was time. And the first time I saw The Wise Woman Birth Keeper Course advertised, I knew this was the time. Little did I know this course would truly change me as a human. Every session invited so much self exploration, inquiry and energy work. It has served me as a guiding light along my journey and really helped me remember what it means to walk alongside a Mother during her journey as well as helped me remember what it is to be Mother. A sacred container I would encourage all birth workers, energy workers, body workers and anyone who support mothers in any capacity to consider. Very grateful for all of the wisdom shared from so many inspirational women. ”
