I am now proud to say I'm a Certified Sacred Pregnancy Instructor, and will be teaching classes in the near future! If you would like more information, contact me directly, or send Anni Daulter our founder, an email @ [email protected] on how you can join this great movement and become an Instructor as well.

What to say.... This sacred Land, the intriguing, intellegent, strong, empowering, warm and generous women who attended this retreat are trailblazers! We are women who seek change in our birthing communities. We envision the shift that we are a part of. In awe of the teachings, and motivated to change our world, one birth at a time.
