Cornerstone trainings are rooted in community, harm reduction, inclusivity, advocacy, and reproductive justice.
Resilience and community support must be centered in all care given to people accessing reproductive healthcare. This cannot happen without equitable access to birthworkers and carers who are trained within a rights-based, intersectional and anti-oppression framework.
Are you ready for your life and purpose to be in full alignment, and to do your part to co-create the world that you want to live in, and our communities to thrive in?
Join the movement. Show, rise up, level up!
Through training with Cornerstone, you will gain the knowledge and skills that you have been seeking for years.
You’ll learn from a homebirth Midwife and Registered Nurse mother/daughter training team, along with their incredible community of trainers who are on the ground doing the work alongside you. We facilitate a supportive community for you by providing direct access to your trainers, and connecting you with other Cornerstone birthworkers, both local and international. With Cornerstone, you’ll be a part of a tight knit, connected network of activist birthworkers who are collectively working toward our shared goal of advancing reproductive justice, harm reduction, and trauma informed care.
“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.”

Wherever you are in the world, you can sign up for one of our online courses.
Once you have registered, course materials are immediately accessible to you in our virtual classroom. Here is how it works:
You will be welcomed into your training modules by your instructor/s who lay out course content and learning goals, and support you in planning, setting intentions/objectives and plans to meet them.
If you have signed up for Advanced Full Spectrum Doula Training or Childbirth Educator Training, our two courses with accompanying live classes, you will receive information on zoom login access and weekly pre-work inside the training modules that immediately open for you upon registration.
Included in all courses is access to a weekly live zoom group mentoring. The live, optional group mentoring meetings provide you with real-time access to your trainers, who are available to answer questions and offer mentoring throughout your learning experience. We extend these free live calls to you for 3 months after completion of your course/s to support your transition into practice.
Our courses include collaborations with guest trainers who generously share their expertise. We have cultivated a beautiful community of activist Birthworkers who reflect many different lived experiences and have contributed to our trainings with both their hearts and souls.
