Keeping the Heart of MotherCare

Join us at a very special conference bringing together the best midwifery, birth and lactation professionals to share their knowledge and the ways they keep the heart of MotherCare in their practices and teaching.

MotherCare is women serving women in ways that are empowering, nurturing, values nature, and supports families. MotherCare professionals include midwives, nurses, doulas, physicians, lactation specialists, educators, and activists. MotherCare providers work in diverse settings sharing a commitment to healthy mothers and babies.
