Reviews
“I am so lucky Tigist was part of my birthing process. I truly don’t know if I could have done it without her. Her knowledge is great and her calmness is contagious.”
“I am so grateful & blessed to have received her support & tender care during my birth, she is someone that I truly admire & see as a role model. Tigist is a powerful birth worker of color and I encourage pregnant people of color to reach out to her for support because to be in communion with her during such a special, transformational time is to honor the tradition of birth that is rooted & comes from Black & Indigenous peoples!”

What Tigist’s Students are Saying about her Childbirth classes,
“Hi, my name is Briana and I am taking an Evidence Based Birth childbirth class because I want to absorb as much as I can about the birthing process! Having evidence based knowledge can only benefit me when I am bringing my baby into this world!
I just finished my first class and loved learning about the stages of labor and how the progression will happen. ”
“Tigist was an excellent instructor; she was always
available to answer any questions and provided
thorough and well educated answers. The zoom
and in-person classes were very educational and
have increased my confidence!”
We are the only species of mammal that doubts our ability to give birth. It's profitable to scare women about birth. But let's stop it. I tell women: Your body is not a lemon.
