Welcome to

The Matrona

Quantum Birth and Wisdomkeeping

The Childbirth Continuum is a portal to raising the consciousness of the planet.

If we understood the Magnitude of Birth as a gateway to transformation, everything in the world would change.

Not just birth, everything. 

We would no longer be a species of humans that mistreats people.

The inappropriate things we do would vanish.

The door is open now and the planet is calling for change.​​

 

If you are ready to step into the realm of quantum bith, the time is now.

Where you will learn to support birth with deep intuition,
holistic wisdom, and trust in the body’s innate intelligence.

Since 2001, The Matrona has offered holistic birth education for birth workers and families.

We continue to do so, adding new programs as the birthing community grows and evolves.​

As we expand, our focus and curriculum remain centered on melding the intuitive with the academic,
the mystical with the intelligent.

A word from Whapio...
 

As the Seasons change and we change with them
it’s clear that a new future is on the horizon.
In 2025 I will celebrate my 42nd year in the realms of birth and

I have seen many changes but none so pressing and timely

as the one I am seeing in birth right now.

________________________

 

It's QUANTUM BIRTH, and I see it 

as the return to a model of care where the Caregiver has a
100% investment in the family.

 

It’s the return of Consciousness to Birth and the presence of

deeply connected women who can accompany, hold space and

not interfere in the instinctual responses of the family.

 

Here’s what a myriad of women have brought to my door…

We are tired of being managed and infantilized.
We resent our instinctual responses being overlooked or ignored.


We want affirmation, we get anxiety.
We want support, we get risk screening.
We want investment in us as the first priority!


________________________

 

We have many wonderful and connected doctors and midwives

who are caring and conscientious but it doesn’t change the fact

that women are being managed, non prioritized and ignored.

Too many women are dissatisfied with their births

and want something different in their caregiver.
 

There is no blame here. No individuals, no specific thing.


As Dr. M. Odent says…We have just lost our way.
And he goes on to say that the answer is to return to square one.

 

I see square one as the Quantum Paradigm.
I see Self-Directed, Instinctual Birth with the

Return of Birth to the Family as the new future.

OUR DISCLAIMER:

At the Matrona our programs do not certify students to practice midwifery.

Our programs offer an educational structure to understand birth in its organic and authentic unfolding. Our year long Birthkeeper’s Mentorship Cohort certifies students as a Professional Childbirth Consultant (PCC), a Family Advocate (FA) and a Certified Monitrice.  We support the concept of women caring for women. Any student wishing to pursue clinical midwifery should seek an apprenticeship after finishing our program.
