Testimonials From Our Previous Trip Participants
The last 11 days that I spent in Ecuador have truly been some of the most important and special days of my life. Through extensive learnings and deep immersion in the ancestral birth teachings of the parteras in Cotacachi, I feel a newfound sense of appreciation and inspiration as a birth worker. In allowing myself to deeply connect with the other women on the trip, I have gained new perspectives, self discovery and life long friendships. I felt supported, held, and so deeply loved every step of the way, and feel this would not have been possible without Charlotte’s utmost commitment and dedication to her cause and purpose. From the beginning to end of the trip, every detail was so meticulously thought out and organized. Through ceremony, connection to oneself/others, workshops, and appreciating the sacred Ecuadorian land, so much can be gained from this program. As someone with very little experience as a doula, I feel I gained a plethora of important knowledge that I can now share with my own community. I feel so grateful for Charlotte and Wombs of the World, and will forever keep this experience near and dear to my heart.

SHOP & SUPPORT MATERNAL HEALTH
The Wombs of the World Foundation is our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are on a mission to improve maternal health outcomes globally by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers. We believe that mothers are the backbone of society, deserving of comprehensive support as they embark on the journey into parenthood.
By partnering with local organizations and empowering birthworkers—whether doulas, midwives, or traditional birth attendants—with the education and resources they need, we strive to rejuvenate ancient birthing wisdom and ensure that both births and mothers are held in the highest esteem. Supporting a mother supports the entire community, fostering a world where every person has access to safe, supportive, and culturally competent maternity care.
Why We Support Birthworkers
At Wombs of the World, we invite you to imagine a world where every woman feels truly supported on her journey into motherhood. Unfortunately, the reality is that global maternal health systems are often inadequate—outdated, biased, overly medicalized, and disconnected from the sacred ceremony that is birth. It’s not just the birth of a baby; it’s the birth of a mother.
We believe that no matter where or how you give birth, every mother deserves to feel wholly supported and safe. The key to achieving this lies in reintroducing the sacred, ancient yet cutting-edge art of birthwork.
Our mission is to improve maternal health outcomes globally by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers—whether they are doulas, midwives, L&D nurses, or others dedicated to the perinatal journey.
Through immersive, international educational programs, we provide birthworkers with opportunities to learn from and serve in local birth cultures in Ecuador, Tanzania, Mexico, and South Africa. While culture is dynamic, birth is universal, and these experiences enrich the knowledge and skills that birthworkers bring back to their communities.
Why support birthworkers? Because if we do not take care of the world’s mothers, who will take care of the rest of us? Through our non-profit sister branch, the Wombs of the World Foundation, we extend our impact even further. We support community-led maternal health initiatives in our partner countries, provide scholarships for birthworkers, and create essential resources to ensure that every birth is safe and celebrated.
