The Wise Women Birthkeeper
7 months journey / Online
January 26 2025 - June 27 2025
The Wise Women Birthkeeper Course is a journey of returning to the ancestral practices of Mother Earth. To the sacredness and ceremony of what it is to be with women and support them and their families through the rite of passage that is birth.
This training will enable you to move into any number of roles supporting women around pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and mothering. Our intention is to elevate the consciousness of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood with the ancient traditions of the Wise Women—the keepers of the Wisdom of our Great Mother.
The Wise Women Birthkeeper Training is for you if you are –
Having a deep heart calling to support women and their families on the transformational journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
Believe and trust the physiology of birth as an opportunity for inner exploration, growth, and empowerment.
Not afraid to travel into altered states of consciousness and be fully present to fully serve.
Honour the sacredness of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Ready to connect to the wisdom of our ancestors, abuelas, and the keepers of ceremony – you understand this takes commitment, devotion, surrendering, and trust.
This 6 month journey is offered flexibly online with fortnightly live sessions from our incredible faculty of teachers. We will cover topics such as what it means to be a birth keeper, prenatal care, birth skills, ceremony and rituals, the Ayurvedic approach to birth and how to support women post-birth with treatments, herbal medicine and sacred rituals.
This program is for women who have a deep calling in their hearts to elevate the consciousness of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

“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.
I have taken so much from this course that its hard to put in words. I looked forward everytime for our Zoom call and I highly recommend it to anyone feeling the call. Its such a wonderful work and a wonderful course with so much love from Soma Shakti. So grateful for our time together and the experience.”
“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. ”
“I have gained so much sacred wisdom, knowledge, and appreciation of how truly powerful a women’s body is and the rite of passage for a women to be supported, nourished and heard during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
The wisdom I have gained, the connections I have made and the space held in each and every class over these past 6 months of the Wise Women Birthkeeper course has been absolutely amazing and fills my heart with so much warmth. A deep calling to serve and support women as they walk their incredibly sacred and transformative journey into motherhood.
Thank you so much to my lovely teachers, it has been an absolute honour to be apart of this beautiful course ❤️”
