The Bloom Collective is a collaborative group of maternal health and wellness and practitioners. Our intent for coming together and building a space in the community is based on our collective vision of providing a nurturing, supportive and empowering space for women and families. We believe that if mothers, during the perinatal period and along the parenthood journey, are provided with a safe space to be their most whole selves, we will manifest the strength and sustainability that will empower our children, families and communities.
Each one of us brings various expertise, gifts and talents to the Bloom Collective. We are all rooted in the values of reproductive justice, birth justice, holistic health care and wellness, and the belief that a family can bloom and thrive with the support of a nurturing village.
