Anti-racism is not a badge. It’s a practice.
A self-paced course for birthworkers ready to stop performing and start doing the work – even when no one is watching.
You’ve nodded along.
You’ve said “I want to do better.”
But when it gets uncomfortable, you freeze.
You get quiet.
You disappear.
You’re not alone. But you are responsible.
Awakening Seeds is not here to soothe you.
It’s here to help you wake up, and stay awake
This is not a box to tick.
It’s a beginning.
Grounded, direct video lessons - plus printable journal-style workbooks for each module.
This isn’t just information.
It’s integration.
Unpack the history, context and complicity of birthwork in upholding white supremacy.
See through the illusion of “doing the work” and root into what it actually looks like.
Learn how to notice, name, and disrupt harm in real time - in yourself and in your work.
Move beyond apology into real action: redirection, repair and sharing power.
Build the stamina to keep going when the praise stops, the discomfort rises, and the work feels invisible.
Create your accountability plan, choose your next steps, and commit to living the work - not just learning it.
One-time payment. Immediate access. No expiry. No refunds.
You can keep waiting to feel “ready” – or you can begin.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You have to be present.
You don’t need more theory.
You need rhythm.
You need reflection.
You need to stop waiting until it’s convenient to start.
Yes. If you’re in birthwork, and want to practise anti-racism with integrity, this is for you. It will ask different things of different people. But the work belongs to all of us.
Not likely. This isn’t a DEI slideshow or trauma showcase. It’s a space for real-time reflection, accountability and ongoing practice, designed specifically for people who work in the birth space.
No. Awakening Seeds stands alone but it’s also a powerful foundation for the Rooted Doula course, or a lead-in to live mentorship.

Downloadable workbooks for each lesson.

Journal-style layout – not a checklist.

Reflection letter to write to your future self.

Optional invitation to go deeper (6-week live course + mentorship).
