Welcome!
Hi, I’m Ash
After birthing trans, attending over 150 births, and giving many hours of prenatal counsel, I created this online trans queer birth class & community from a decolonizing framework based on the things I found myself continuously wishing birthers knew before birth. This class is rooted in radically safer birth guidance for folks birthing in and out of hospitals that I couldn’t find elsewhere – so I created it specifically for trans and queer folks.
Beyond life-saving knowledge, we also need queer-only spaces to form community around the unique experience queer and trans folks face navigating pregnancy, labor, and parenting.
This program is a culmination of many years of teaching and experience – bringing it all together into an online format that fosters a radically queer centered, judgment-free learning environment prioritizing radical physical and emotional well being, rather than profit, as colonial medical birthing paradigms do.
Starting August 5
Register for the next cohort of the Trans / Queer Birth Class, running from August 5 – Sept 2, 2026, or for the upcoming Fall/Winter cohort for 2026/2027. As a participant you gain indefinite access to our private online community, resource library, ongoing reunions and trans/queer parent & birthworker meetups, and live recorded sessions. Registration is open. Visit the registration page to learn date/time/rates/sliding scale.
