care
caring for mothers & midwives
Through more than 25 years of experience in home birth and private hospital maternity care, we have supported women and families, mentored midwives, and helped establish independent birth care services, including Synergy Birth Collective. Building on this experience, the new national midwifery guidelines, and our developing hybrid Midwifery School, we aim to establish a Birth and Midwifery Training Center in Tulum that provides free, respectful maternity care for Maya and migrant women while serving as a state-recognized clinical training center for future midwives. Our vision is to bring together traditional knowledge, professional competencies, and community-based care in a space where women can give birth safely, with dignity and autonomy.
✨ Your contribution helps us turn decades of experience into a permanent space for accessible maternity care, midwifery education, and the protection of women's birth choices.
COMMUNITY
Community and Peacebuilding
We believe that transformation begins in the territories where we live, learn, care for one another, and build community.
That is why we create Womb Spaces (Espacios Matriz) — both physical and virtual communities where women, midwives, mothers, girls, and families come together, share knowledge, strengthen their bonds, and, above all, find a place where their voices are heard, their experiences are valued, and their decisions are respected.
More than physical spaces, they are living communities that regenerate the social fabric through matristic values of care, reciprocity, cooperation, and shared life. They are spaces for education, healing, community organizing, and mutual support, where ancestral knowledge strengthens women's autonomy and their communities.
One of our projects is NAJNA, a proposed 50-hectare Womb Space in the Maya territory of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, which we aim to develop alongside the K'ax Mukil María Uicab Collective as a place of gathering, belonging, and cultural reconnection for Maya women, including those displaced from their communities.
Through our mothers' networks, community collectives, in-person gatherings, and digital spaces, we are building a community that reaches beyond geographical boundaries, enabling more women to participate, organize, and become active decision-makers in matters that affect their lives.
🌿 Your donation helps us sustain these networks of care and bring spaces like NAJNA to life — places where women's voices become action, ancestral knowledge is passed on, and communities shape their future together.
EDUCATION
Passing Down Knowledge, Transforming Communities
Our Midwifery School is an educational space created by midwives for midwives, apprentices, and healthcare professionals, while also welcoming doulas, mothers, girls, adolescents, men, and communities committed to care and respect for life.
Through a hybrid model combining online education, in-person workshops, and supervised clinical practice, we bring together ancestral traditional midwifery knowledge and contemporary healthcare practices, promoting education rooted in experience, mentorship, ethical responsibility, and service to women.
Our educational work goes beyond training midwives. We develop community programs focused on health, the body, sexuality, motherhood, traditional medicine, and self-care, strengthening people's autonomy and their ability to care for themselves and their communities.
We believe that knowledge does not belong to an institution: it lives within people, is passed down through generations, and grows when shared with respect. That is why we work to protect traditional knowledge, recognize the women who safeguard it, and create accessible learning opportunities for future generations.
🌸 Your donation helps us provide scholarships, fairly compensate traditional midwives and teachers, develop educational resources, and expand a learning network that protects ancestral knowledge and transforms healthcare from within communities.
