professionals with concrete steps toward action and accountability
Preventative Education
Led by Board President Sabia Wade, we have hosted virtual learning spaces that encourage interaction, push boundaries, and help people get comfortable with discomfort.
Intersectional Conversations
We address racism with an intersectional lens - our trainings have addressed the intersecting identities of being Deaf, being previously incarcerated, being a father, and being in different parts of the perinatal care team.
Ongoing Support
Our trainings are not one-and-done, but rather start the important conversations then provide the space for ongoing accountability and support. Led by Ayisha Elliot, we host monthly meetups for all participants of our trainings.

Nurturely supports cultures of carrying
Access to infant carrying is a health equity issue: carrying promotes bonding, supports lactation, and even decreases postpartum depression!
CarrierX
At the Nurturely Boutique, we partner with Black and Indigenous-owned carrier companies. To increase access to these beautiful carriers, we also have a CarrierX rental program
Portabebés on the Porch
Together with Babywearing y Bailando (babywearing & dance) and Carrying y Caminando (carrying & hiking), we curate bilingual, multicultural spaces for fun access to carrying education and support.
Carriers for Health Equity
We provide training on how to incorporate carrying education into birthwork and perinatal care practices, centered in carrying as a cultural practice and human rights issue.
Nurturely develops an intersectional workforce
We increase representation in the perinatal workforce through inclusive, intersectional training opportunities with full scholarships for Black, Brown, Indigenous people of color.
...we just received a 3-year grant to support a birthworker sustainability project!
Nurturely conducts research to explore perinatal solutions
In partnership with a interdisciplinary team of universities and community-based organizations, we are prepping for the next iteration of a randomized controlled trial to test the postpartum health implications of parent-infant physical contact
Nurturely empowers proactive postpartum preparation
Our groups for parents and birthworkers focus on preventative solutions for some of the most common postpartum challenges: physical recovery, mental wellness, infant feeding and interaction, and partner dynamics
