Our Birth Story
In the spring of 2016, a group of doulas, midwives, midwives in training, childbirth educators and passionate birth advocates met in the living room of one their homes to talk about how we could better serve our community by building a network of professionals in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From that seed grew the launch of our first annual Labor Day Event in September 2016. The immediate need, the one we still serve, is creating a space for the island community to access resources and professionals to help them through the journey of pregnancy, birth and post-partum. Our other main goal is to provide networking & educational opportunities to the professionals providing services to the community.
Pacific Birth Collective secured a 501(c)(3) status in 2021. During the Maui wildfire crisis of August 2023, PBC jumped into action to support the most vulnerable of the fire-affected: mothers and babies. Since then, our programs and staff have grown significantly to meet the various needs of our community. We operate out of Haiku and are continually evolving.
