Despite overwhelming support, Access to Traditional Cultural Midwifery and a pathway to perpetuate these practices through Apprenticeship will be heavily restricted in July 2023 Without continued community pressure on our State Legislature!!

Learn more about our island community and a little about the social, political and historical context that impacts our daily lives and the way that we give birth and parent our children. Hawai'i is a very diverse and ever shifting community made up of Kanaka and Kama'aina, the locals from this land, alongside transplants from all over the world and visitors. We hope you find these resources helpful as we strive to grow together and improve access to individualized Woman centered health care across Hawai’i!
