The birthkeeper: someone who holds, protects, and honors the ancient, undisturbed process of birth. Unlike roles defined by medical systems, a birthkeeper is rooted in traditional, community-based birth support. The term carries a sense of stewardship—guarding the sacredness of birth, the autonomy of the mother, and the wisdom passed down through generations. A birthkeeper works outside the authority of institutions, answering only to the woman and their family.
