Can you feel the momentum growing?

More than an event — this is a movement.
Restoring wisdom. Rebuilding families. Remembering what birth was designed to be.

Birth is powerful, sacred, and deeply transformative - yet today, many families feel disconnected from that truth. Modern birth has distanced women from their intuition, families from their strength, and communities from the wisdom once passed through generations.

The Reclaiming Birth Gathering exists to restore what we lost: the understanding of how the body works, the confidence to trust physiological birth, and the wisdom that strengthens families, communities, & future generations.

This is a day to learn, reconnect, and remember the inherent intelligence of birth. We brought this gathering to Montreal to give families access to knowledge & lived experiences that have slowly disappeared due to mainstream maternity care.

This movement is rooted in removing fear & returning to trust, reclaiming birth as a sacred, instinctive, physiological event. This includes sharing stories & experiences that empower others, as well as strengthening families from the very beginning.

There is no shaming, no judgment - only an invitation to learn, remember, & choose another way forward.

The intention behind this movement was created for families first, and for the birth workers who support them.

For Women & Mothers - to understand your body, trust your design, and reclaim confidence in birth.
For Men & Fathers - to learn how to embody grounded, protective, supportive presence during pregnancy, birth, & postpartum.
For Birth Workers & Practitioners - to expand your knowledge, deepen your practice, and support families in a more holistic, and physiological way.

This is a movement dedicated to:
Reclaiming Birth - honoring the wisdom of the body and restoring trust in physiological birth.

Reclaiming Families - recognizing that strong families are built from the moment life begins, at birth.
Reclaiming Community - learning from one another, sharing experiences, and building in-person connections that strengthen us collectively.

This is the foundation of the future we want to create: empowered parents, confident families, and a community united in truth and trust.

Seeds Planted

In September 2024 at the Reclaiming Birth Conference in London, Ontario, a seed was planted. Jessica was inspired to bring the vision of RBC to Montreal.

Jessica has been on a transformative journey to becoming a traditional birth companion. After leaving her nursing profession and witnessing the often clinical & disempowering nature of the medical system - particularly for woman & their babies - she made the decision to step away from conventional healthcare and into a more holistic, heart-centered path. Her own experience of choosing a home birth in Mexico for her first child affirmed what she intuitively knew: pregnancy and birth are not medical conditions but natural, powerful rites of passage. She is committed to helping women reconnect with their innate wisdom, trust their bodies and reclaim the sacredness of birth.

Join us in this movement to bring the Reclaiming Birth Conference to Montreal to further strengthen connections as well as reclaim a depth of understanding of the sacred physiological unfolding that birth was designed as.
