Team Work Makes the Dream Work
We are a collective of humans all cut from the same cloth, deeply passionate about birthwork, cultural immersion, and wanting to provide you with the experience of a lifetime.
Meet the Team
At Wombs of the World, we believe in the power of collective wisdom and shared experience. Our journey began with a simple yet profound idea: that by bringing together birthworkers from around the globe, we could create a powerful network of support, learning, and transformation. This idea quickly evolved into a movement, one that is now fueled by the passion and dedication of an incredible team.
Our team is a tapestry of diverse talents, backgrounds, and experiences, each thread contributing to the vibrant fabric of Wombs of the World. From our facilitators who guide immersive educational journeys, to the volunteers who support our community initiatives, every member of our team is committed to our shared mission: to improve maternal health outcomes worldwide by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers.

Charlotte Brielle, MSW
Founder & Executive Director
Charlotte is the heart and vision behind Wombs of the World, but she is quick to emphasize that the organization's success is driven by the collective energy of the team. Her journey into birthwork began in 2017, and in 2018, she traveled to Tanzania to volunteer in a maternity clinic. This transformative experience ignited the spark that would eventually grow into Wombs of the World.
Today, Charlotte works alongside a dedicated team to expand this mission, ensuring that every initiative is rooted in respect, cultural sensitivity, and a deep commitment to community-led change.
She is currently based in Paris, France.​
Jenny Ingram
Operations Director
Jenny Ingram is the organizational backbone of Wombs of the World and the WotW Foundation. Hailing from Littleton, Colorado, Jenny brings a wealth of experience from her background as a Surgical Tech, seamlessly transitioning from the operating room to the office. As our "left brain," she manages much of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the organization running smoothly.
Above all, Jenny is a devoted mother of two young children, and her unwavering dedication to the mission continues to propel Wombs of the World forward.


Kai Njeri -
Regional Programs Director
Africa
We are unbelievably lucky to have Kai on the ground in Tanzania as regional programs director. Kai brings a tremendous amount of wisdom and joy to our team. Kai sees and weaves webs. She began weaving the intricate web of global birthwork in 2019 when she completed her training, and in 2022 a personalized touch of birth met her in motherhood making her commitment to birth even stronger. The gift and responsibility of ebbing and flowing with the tides of birth continue to reveal themselves to her willing heart and hands.
She is also a facilitator on our Africa trips. Join her for an unforgettable and transformative journey in Tanzania and South Africa.
Meet Your Trip Facilitators
Our facilitators are more than just guides; they are the anchors of our programs. Each brings a unique blend of expertise, cultural knowledge, and deep empathy, ensuring that every trip is not just an educational experience, but a journey of personal growth for all involved. They embody our commitment to "doula the doulas," offering support and creating spaces where participants can learn, reflect, and transform.

The Amazing BOD for the WotW Foundation
Much of the work we do is also fueled by the unwavering support and guidance of our dedicated Board of Directors for the WotW Foundation.

Our Community Partners

Our community partners are the lifeblood of Wombs of the World. From organizing logistics to providing hands-on support in the field, they play a crucial role in every aspect of our work. We are particularly proud of our partnerships with local organizations in Tanzania, Ecuador, and beyond, who help us ensure that our projects are community-led and culturally respectful. These collaborations allow us to create sustainable, impactful change that honors the traditions and needs of each community we serve.
The Collective of Birthworkers and Travelers

At the heart of Wombs of the World lies a collective of birthworkers: doulas, midwives, L&D nurses etc— who are the backbone of this much-needed global maternal health revolution. Our mission is rooted in the belief that these dedicated professionals hold the power to transform maternal health outcomes worldwide.
The magic of our journeys is born from this collective coming together, where revolutionary conversations take place, knowledge is shared, and lifelong bonds are forged. It's in these moments of unity, where diverse experiences and perspectives intersect, that real change begins to take shape. Together, we are not just walking a road; we are paving the way for a future where every birth is honored, every mother is empowered, and every community is uplifted.
Birth nerds unite!
