Our Vision

Birth Mark aims to support any transitions that involve a reproductive event. We strive to promote a deeper connection between individuals, their bodies, their children and their communities. We aim to improve and promote perinatal health and reproductive rights through access to information and care that is inclusive, culturally aware, and mindful of systemic oppression through continued decolonial education and adopting anti-racism and anti-oppression practices.

We encourage the creation of a supportive peer and expert community through our programs. We believe this support should be at no-cost and provided to all who need it in the ways they want and deserve.

“My baby and I have also been under the expert care of Birth Mark’s naturopathic doctor and Lactation Consultant, Sarah, who successfully identified a tongue tie with my baby which was released. Now six months later, our breastfeeding journey is thriving due to her guidance and ongoing support.”
