Are you a Birth Worker who knows that there is so much more you could be doing to help the women you serve prepare for an empowering, multi-faceted passage into motherhood?

Introducing

"Of Marrow and Mother"

A comprehensive online training in traditional foods, herbal medicine, circadian biology, and environmental health—equipping you to support maternal and infant wellbeing from pre-conception through postpartum, with practices that honour both the body and the rhythms of nature.

Come and join me for a LIVE RETREAT this September in the Boreal forest! 🌲👇🏽

September 17–20, 2026 · In-Person Mentorship Retreat

For birth-keepers ready to expand their work beyond the birth room

Of Marrow and Mother is rooted in the understanding that healthy babies and mothers are shaped long before labour — through nourishment, rhythm, environment, and care that supports the body’s biology over time.

For those who feel called to carry this work further, I am hosting an intimate, in-person mentorship retreat for birth workers who want to learn how to teach and transmit foundational principles of maternal and infant health within their own communities.

With over 17 years of hands-on experience in the childbearing continuum and healing arts, this retreat is an offering of my most distilled teachings — shared in close proximity, on the land, and in real time.

This retreat is limited to four participants to allow for depth, dialogue, and meaningful mentorship.

The Purpose of This Mentorship

This retreat is about equipping birth workers with the clarity, confidence, and framework to educate clients and communities around what is actually required to bring forth healthy babies and mothers so they can expand and elevate their services in an ethical, grounded way.

Participants will leave with a teachable framework they can use to offer workshops, community classes, circles, or integrated client education around deep nourishment, circadian biology, environmental load, foundational herbal support, and the healing arts as they apply to the childbearing years.

This is mentorship for those who feel called to steward maternal and infant health beyond the moment of birth.

How This Retreat Will Expand and Elevate Your Work

This mentorship is designed for birth workers who feel called to move beyond support at birth and into education that strengthens families and communities over time.

You will be guided to integrate the healing arts into your existing work in ways that are ethical, grounded, and within scope.

This work supports you to:

Expand into education offerings such as workshops, series, and community classes
Integrate nourishment, rhythm, homeopathy, and herbal support into client care
Speak about maternal and infant health with clarity and authority
Move from support at birth into stewardship of maternal health from preconception to postpartum and beyond.

This is a professional expansion, not a departure from your current work.
It is a deepening.

How This Work Understands Nourishment

We do not approach nourishment as comfort or restoration after depletion.

Nourishment is explored here as a biological and physiological requirement for healthy reproduction — a foundational support that shapes maternal and infant health long before labour begins and long after it ends.

This is not reactive care.
This is prevention and preparation, offered upstream where it matters most.

This mentorship teaches birth workers how to understand and communicate:

What builds strong, resilient mothers
What depletes maternal reserves over time
How modern life quietly erodes health and vitality
What truly supports fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and infant health

What This Mentorship Is — and Is Not

This is not a certification.
This is not a personal healing container.
This is not a wellness retreat or self-care weekend.

You are not being trained as a technician, nor handed a rigid protocol to follow.

This mentorship is about forming educators and stewards of life — birth workers who can confidently teach foundational principles of maternal and infant health, while skillfully integrating the healing arts into their work.

The focus is on nourishment, rhythm, environment, and herbal support, rooted in real biology, lived experience, and care that sustains life over time — the very things we have largely lost touch with.

The healing arts are approached as practical, ethical tools to support mothers and babies, with an emphasis on discernment, scope, and embodied understanding so what you offer your community is grounded, trustworthy, and truly supportive.

Care for the Caregiver — An Applied Exploration

As part of this mentorship, we will spend one full day off-site at Borealis Living Studio.

This day is an applied exploration of how to care for others without abandoning yourself, martyring your body, or serving from an empty well.

Through movement, shared meals, and guided experiences, we will explore what sustainable caregiving looks like in practice — so the care you offer your community is rooted in presence, capacity, and integrity.

What You Will Receive

This mentorship is a fully held, immersive experience designed so you can focus entirely on learning, integrating, and stepping into the next level of your work.

Your participation includes:

Four days of in-person mentorship and teaching
An intimate, land-based gathering in the Boreal Forest, with direct guidance on how to apply and teach this work within your community.

All meals provided for the duration of the retreat
Every meal is thoughtfully prepared to reflect the principles being taught — deeply nourishing, mineral-rich, blood- and nervous-system-supportive foods that model what it looks like to truly feed mothers who are building the next generation.

On-site accommodation at our rustic lakefront cabin
Shared, simple, and held — allowing you to fully settle into the rhythm of the land and retreat.

A full day off-site at Borealis Living Studio
Including guided yoga, shared meals, and experiential learning focused on sustainable caregiving.

A curated gift bag
A selection of high-quality herbal and nourishing tools to extend the teachings into your daily life and work.

Lifetime access to Of Marrow and Mother
My comprehensive online program exploring traditional nourishment, the healing arts, and foundational maternal health across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Why September in the Whiteshell

There is a palpable shift in the Whiteshell Provincial Park in September — a natural turning inward as summer wanes and the body begins to gather itself again.

It is a powerful time for this work.
Quiet, grounded, and deeply aligned with integration.

Ali was featured in Awakening Fertility, part of the well-known trilogy by Heng Ou, which also includes The First Forty Days. She is mentioned in the Wise Ones section of the book, alongside practitioners and teachers whose knowledge is rooted in lived experience and long-standing practice.

Many of the photographs in Awakening Fertility were taken in Ali’s home and on her land, reflecting the grounded, land-based nature of her work and the values she teaches — nourishment, rhythm, and care that supports women and families across the reproductive years.

This inclusion reflects a shared commitment to traditional wisdom, embodied knowledge, and approaches to maternal health that are practical, enduring, and deeply human.

Birth-keepers & Doulas...

Do you want to be part of a growing community of trailblazing women that are guiding mothers out of burnout, depletion, & martyrdom, and into an era of empowerment, overflow, and vibrant health?

Do you wish that your birth-centered business had more space and flow, and could still support you, your family, and your clients in a relaxed, feminine way without having to be on-call 24/7?
You know the calling to serve at birth is so much bigger than learning how to give hip squeezes on labouring mothers. How could your business expand, elevate, and improve if you were equipped with the skills to source, prepare, cook and teach about food and herbs in a way that builds grounded, strong, and resilient babies, mothers, and families?
What would it mean to you to have a deeper connection to nature, to activate your own innate healing capabilities, and the confidence to draw upon nature and herbal medicine to support your clients?
So many women who are called to serve at birth also hear the call to work with herbal medicine and the healing arts because at one time, not too long ago, they went hand in hand. It's time to activate the medicine woman within!
What would it feel like to be a woman who understands the unseen forces shaping modern motherhood? The cycles of light and dark, the rhythms of circadian biology, and the environmental signals our bodies are now navigating? To know how non-native EMFs, disrupted light exposure, and chemical residues like glyphosate impact hormones, fertility, sleep, and nervous system health—and how to gently buffer their effects through food, rhythm, and lifestyle.
Imagine offering your clients not just care at the moment of birth, but grounded guidance that helps them orient their lives toward resilience in an increasingly unnatural world.

Right down to the very core, to the marrow of our bones, we all deeply know that something is not right with the path we are headed down. As women who caretake life, who tend the home fires, and nurture the next generation, we have SO much influence and can help elevate humanity during this turbulent time, because the truth is too many babies, mothers, and families are falling through the cracks of a crumbling system...

So many Birth-workers are overwhelmed because

there is a lot of conflicting, misleading, and outdated information out there...

with huge propaganda campaigns intended to make people believe that the food humans have evolved on is bad for us and the environment.
that birth is something we need to be saved from and medicated for.
that herbal medicine is dangerous, unpredictable, and a bunch of hocus pocus.
that you can just pop a prenatal vitamin and not give another thought about what you're eating.
that Birth-work is synonyomous to burnout and martyrdom.
that suggests there is absolutely no correlation between glyphosate & toxins and the skyrocketing cases of childhood disease.

I feel you, my friend...

These are very valid challenges. The old system is designed to keep us confused, in doubt, and dependent on it.

But the good news is, this is precisely the time we begin to write a new story. Slowly but surely through our every day informed choices, through our lifestyles, and how we vote with our dollars we will begin to see big change. Just as the trees gradually transform in the autumn - leaf by leaf, tree by tree, an entire landscape transforms from green to gold. Mother Nature shows us the way. From woman to woman, home to home, we can calibrate humanity to a better way, and the scales will begin to tip in favour of life.

Hey, I'm Ali

I entered motherhood believing I had done everything right. I had read the books, eaten the right foods, done the emotional and spiritual work... or so I thought. I went into labour whole, excited, and determined only to be chewed up and spit out the other side. My son’s birth was traumatic, and I lived frozen in my body with PTSD for months. I felt shattered, vulnerable, and utterly alone. Despite having loving people around me, I had fallen through the cracks of a corrupt and crumbling system. I could barely care for myself, let alone a newborn who also needed deep integration and constant care.

That experience lit a fire in me. Three years later, I birthed my daughter peacefully at home, but my postpartum period unraveled me in a different way. Extreme exhaustion, anxiety, heart palpitations, hair loss, insomnia, rapid aging. It was brutal. As I looked around, I saw the same story repeating—not just in mothers, but in children too: allergies, eczema, colic, constant illness, signs of deep imbalance.

I went down every rabbit hole. Read everything. Tried restrictive diets. Took wrong turns. And then one day, at absolute rock bottom, I heard the way I spoke to my son—sharp, snappy, unrecognizable. It broke my heart. I knew then: this was not the mother I was meant to be. This was a woman drowning.

And in that moment, I chose to change.

I went on to have my daughter three years later, and it was a very peaceful and empowering home birth. However, my postpartum experience with her was a challenge to say the least. It threw me into an era of extreme exhaustion, anxiety, heart palpitations, hair loss, rapid aging, insomnia… need I go on? When I began to question why not only myself, but so many mothers were being taken on a hell ride through the childbearing year, (not all the women I was witnessing were having traumatic births - although many were) a constellation of problems began to present themselves. I also noticed that most of the children I knew in my life had either allergies, eczema, colic, were frequently sick, or had other signs of imbalance and dis-ease.

I went down many rabbit holes, read many books, took many wrong turns, tried horrendous restrictive diets recommended by well intentioned friends, and ultimately hit rock bottom one day when I was beyond burnout and I really heard the way that I spoke to my son. I was snappy and rude and it absolutely broke my heart. This was not the mother I wanted to be. This was the voice of a mother who was drowning and I vowed in that moment that I would change, and so I did.

I was tired of feeling like all the inspiration and joy was sucked out me. I was tired of seeing women struggling the way I was. I was tired of searching for the answers to my health issues. I was tired of spending thousands of dollars on supplements hoping they would fix the problem. I was tired of being so damn tired.

Today, I am 16 years into an epic deep dive within the realm of birth and what is required to create strong and resilient babies and mothers from pre-conception right into the postpartum. It is not an exaggeration to say that we can influence the health of our grandchildren before they have even been conceived; this is the truth. Take the eagle's eye view with me and realize that creating a legacy of generational health begins here and now.

Of Marrow and Mother

A slow cooked 8 module holistic deep dive for Birth-Workers in Traditional Foods skills, Circadian Biology, Herbal Medicine, and Non-Toxic Living - from pre-conception to postpartum and beyond

Our ancestors understood that food and herbs were not optional luxuries during the childbearing year, they were foundational medicine. This knowledge was passed down through kitchens, gardens, and birth rooms, rooted in an intimate relationship with the land, the seasons, and the innate intelligence of the body.

Today, we are gestating and birthing in a radically different environment. Our bodies are receiving signals we did not evolve for. Ultra-processed foods, synthetic chemicals, endocrine disruptors, glyphosate-laden crops, chronic stress, and constant environmental noise. The wisdom of the body has not failed us; the terrain has changed. Reclaiming ancestral nourishment is no longer nostalgic, it is essential!

Food is more than fuel. Light is more than illumination. Both are forms of information. Primary signals that shape the body, the nervous system, and the developing child. When we eat nutrient-dense, whole foods rich in minerals, essential fatty acids, and bioavailable nourishment, and when our bodies are exposed to natural light and darkness as intended, we restore messages the body knows how to interpret.

Through the alchemy of cooking, simple ingredients become potent medicine! Building blood, stabilizing hormones, and supporting digestion. Through relationship with light—morning sun, seasonal rhythms, true darkness—we regulate circadian biology, stress hormones, and cellular repair. Together, food and light lay the groundwork for resilient maternal and infant health, restoring coherence in a world that has largely forgotten how to signal safety to the body.

Nourishing the body with real food, working with herbs, and reducing toxic load are acts of self-care and reverence. They are a way of restoring right relationship with the body, with the land, and with the life growing within us. What we choose here does not end with us; it ripples forward, shaping the health of future generations.

The time for action is NOW...

You don’t have to keep searching for the missing piece. As a birth worker, you can support awake and powerful transitions into motherhood by restoring rhythm, nourishment, and trust in the body’s innate intelligence.

I’m sharing everything I’ve learned over 17 years of birth-keeping so you can integrate this wisdom into your work and expand your offerings with confidence and integrity. This is an invitation to move beyond trial and error and into a way of serving that feels grounded, relaxed, deeply nourishing, and skillful—supporting both your clients and your own vibrant health.

"The opportunity to learn from Ali is a gift. Her course is full of powerful information and actionable teachings. It is a lesson in getting back to our inner knowings. The whole experience is beautiful and taught with such heart."

- Molly

We are elevating & revolutionizing maternal healthcare and supporting mothers in a holistic way through every stage of their journey. In this program we value and incorporate:

An Expanded Holistic Perspective: We take into consideration the WHOLE woman in our approach by tending to the mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of maternal wellness; not just the physical. We understand how every stage of the childbearing year is intrinsically woven together; from pre-conception to postpartum.
Radical Responsibility: Conscious maternal healthcare empowers women to actively participate in decision-making regarding their care and well-being.
Integration of Traditional Wisdom: Drawing from the Healing Arts and evergreen practices that have sustained humanity for millennia, we utilize food as medicine, herbal wisdom passed down through the ages, and ceremony into modern maternity care.
Knowledge as Power: From harmful chemicals in personal care products to toxins in our food, water, and air, we are constantly exposed to substances that can disrupt hormonal balance, impair fetal development, and compromise maternal health. When we are informed, we can make choices to minimize exposure and protect the health of ourselves and growing children.

I have spent literally thousands of hours with my nose in the books, hands in the earth, assisting in the birth house, and feet in the kitchen, connecting the dots learning and developing an efficient way to apply this knowledge into my own life and in my Birthwork business. The time has come to share what I've learned over the years so we can make big waves together!

I know first hand that women are looking for ways to support themselves and their families in a manner that aligns with their soul purpose and does not exploit their life force, leaving them in body & time debt.

Serving from burnout and martyrdom is a thing of the past. You can apply the knowledge from this program into your own life, embody vibrant health for yourself, and magnetize aligned clients who are eager to learn and calibrate themselves to this lifestyle.

Because the truth is, your birth centered business can feed your family & bank account as much as it feeds your soul. We need as many women possible living and serving in their medicine and FULL power.

We are a network of women moving with courage, commitment, and dedication...

This is not just another online program; it is a movement! A homecoming. A remembering through our blood & bones. It is a lifestyle that respects the land, the cycles, the feminine spirit, and supports the new holistic paradigm of birth and women's health.

This upgraded and elevated era of health care requires radical responsibility, addressing issues from the root cause, and no longer outsourcing our health to companies and systems that profit off us. This is the chapter of the story where we take it all back!

I believe this tidal wave of well educated, nurturing women serving LIFE is the best way of disrupting and dismantling this dismal season of poor health and erosion of resources in the collective mother.

Let us walk this path with reverence, gratitude, and a deep commitment to the well-being of all beings, knowing that each choice we make ripples out into the future. We can weave a safety net of love, resilience, and wisdom around our children and the women bringing these children through, and together leave legacy that honours the sanctity of life in all its forms.

This is for you if:

you're a birth worker that desires to lead her clients and herself to a higher quality of life
you want to expand your skill set and be more self-reliant and resourced.
you believe the journey from pre-conception to postpartum is a mind, body, spirit rite-of-passage, and not merely a medical event.
you are ready to step into more, shine your light fully, and come into alignment and deep trust with yourself.
you want to use the knowledge from this program to get into the best health of your life, keep toxins away from your loved ones, and set a solid foundation for your growing family.
You know you're here on earth at this time on a mission, and want to make a big difference AND squeeze every last drop of mystery and magic out of it.

This isn't for you if:

You're committed to the doom and gloom narrative, and old and outdated programming.
you like eating synthetic and lab grown food, support GMO's, and enjoy outsourcing your health.
you believe that it's necessary for all women to birth in the hospital with medication and monitoring.
You want to play small, stay safe, and not evolve any further than the current version of yourself.
You don't think anything is wrong with the current path humanity is on.
You think the only way to make a living is with a standard 9-5 job

"If you want to change the Earth, it begins at Birth."

The revolution we all feel brewing isn't coming from outside ourselves, it will come through us. It starts with you and me, here and now, In our bodies, our kitchens, our homes, our gardens, our businesses, and our communities.

COUNT ME IN!

Real talk, my friend

It's time to re-imagine the role of the modern day Birth Worker.

We must stretch our capacity because currently 1 in 2 children now lives with a chronic disease, and an epidemic of depletion related illnesses are running rampant through mothers with the effects reverberating throughout our family units and communities.

2 of the biggest factors contributing to this is our food and our lifestyles - both of which we can greatly influence!!

This is big work! But once you complete this program you will have:

a set of invaluable skills and practices you can incorporate and integrate into your own life and business
the knowing that you are on the forefront of a massive movement in regeneration of human/planetary health - there is no separation
taken the next steps towards becoming the powerful and authentic leader you came here to be
the confidence to support yourself and your clients using food and herbs as medicine.
