“I can’t mention enough how incredible it feels to learn from folks who truly care and show they care about the activism that goes behind birthwork and beyond. I’ve learned, unlearned, and relearned from you, and to be in community with you is a blessing. Thank you. I feel that I’m able to be the birthworker I have always aspired myself to be in part because of the support and the guidance I’ve received not only from this training, but from the Cornerstone community, as well.”
