" Birth Roots" is not just a guide to preparing for birth—it is a soul pilgrimage. Through sacred storytelling, womb rituals, ancestral healing, and body wisdom, this book invites every woman to return to her roots: her body, her sovereignty, her Earth-given power to create and birth life—on her own terms. Whether you are preparing to conceive, currently pregnant, or reclaiming your womb story, this book is a radical remembering of what it means to be whole, holy, and home in your body.
Through three transformational pillars—Clearing the Path, Easing the Root Upward, and Nourishing the Soil—ROOTED takes you on a journey of decolonizing birth, releasing fear, and honoring your unique birth blueprint. This is a reclamation. This is a return. Be amongst the first to hold this living prayer in hand.
" Who is a Conscious Birth Worker "
Akia Gaston – Maternal Health visionary, Childbirth Educator, Speaker | Founder, The School of Conscious Birth Work
Who am I
I am a mother of 2, a creative and deeply passionate concerning all the ways to positively impact humanity, beginning at the foundation of life.
My journey into birth work began with the births of my own children. Through those embodied experiences, I heard the call to support others in their own rites of passage and over the past 6 years I've done just that. My Mission is to globally help others cultivate a more expansive understanding of reproductive justice — and to recognize its deep connections to all systems of life, care, and community. As not only a birth worker, but A child birth educator and Founder of The School of Conscious Birth Work -I have a deep responsibility to guide aspiring doulas into this sacred calling with integrity, reverence, and purpose as well.
I believe that a conscious birth creates a conscious world and through my offerings, I’m here amplify that truth.
With love and purpose,
Akia
