About Alisha

From our Founder - My love for serving women in their childbearing years started at my little sisters birth at home in 2013. I was present for my moms prenatal appointments and her birth, in that a spark was kindling! Nine months later, we approached her midwife and asked if there were books or courses she could recommend for me to do just to get my toes wet! She saw something in me and jumped straight into years of teaching me, she taught me many skills and passed so much wisdom down to me! She was so generous with her time and wisdom; I spent 8 years with her and her families. Thank you to those women and their families for welcoming me into their stories and being patient with me as I learned. Some women I got to serve through 4 pregnancies!

My heart for birth and women has been seen through years of sitting at their feet serving them during their birthing years. I am active in pursuing continuing education whether through personal deeper study, breech and twins training, resolving shoulder dystocia's, Postpartum Mother Roasting, CPR/NRP training, and much more. All for the purpose of guiding and educating my private ministry families, so this women's wisdom can continue. Our path of walking together is wide and covers many areas, because our birth journeys are only the tip of the iceberg of what we’re being invited into! I am first and foremost a tool for the hands of our Creator. I am not a licensed midwife or certified professional midwife, I am not a doctor, nurse, nurse-midwife, or medical provider.  I am a traditional, radical woman that walks with women. Over the years I have spent time travelling serving families and working alongside traditional midwives across the country in my "downtime" ;)

My passion for freedom of birth choices and First Amendment rights is also seen through my own unassisted pregnancy and birth with my daughter in 2022 - to read my birth story and watch it (!) head to my Instagram, @birthcultivated

HEART FIRST HANDS SECOND

Through a private, faith-based association and ministry. All activities
occur in the private domain and are expressions of spiritual belief, education, fellowship,
and sisterhood (
Birth Cultivated Ministries). We walk with you as you discover and sit in your power as a birthing woman! Whether we're walking together regularly for 7+ months, or you choose just a few meet ups and birth support, we still strive to serve you fully and uplift you to see Christ more

Our mission

We are cultivating relationships rooted in autonomy and community to lift each other up to know Christ deeper.

Showing up to be with woman in all seasons - pre-pregnancy, through the birthing year, and as she is training up her heritage.

Serving as guides with hands, experience, and knowledge to nourish and preserve generational stories.

OUR VISION

Birth Cultivated Ministries sees a future of women rediscovering their holy gifts and anointed roles in their communities.

Women that walk together, cook, craft, create, and serve across generations to build our heritage of lighthouses.

We see a future of holy households with sturdy men leading, pot lucks, and community wide worship. Women fulfilling their role of nurturer and keepers of the home. Families rooted in Christ that are walking in faith and autonomy.

Our Beliefs

- We believe The Lord brings healing and has anointed our hands to use as instruments for His glory. 

 - We believe only by the power of our Creator are we able to accomplish anything - 2 Cor. 12:9 & 10:  But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

- We believe Spurgeon had it right when he said "she is doing the best possible service for her Lord. Mothers, the godly training of your offspring is your first and most pressing duty"

- We believe part of our Ministry's mission is Ps. 34:3 “Proclaim the Lord’s greatness with me;
let us exalt his name together.”

- We believe Christ is the key holder and keeper of life and death.

- We believe birth unfolds best when nurtured and left undisturbed.

- We believe in walking with women as they rediscover their divine giftings and rewild the home.

- We believe in cultivating our community wide remembering of how to serve each other.

- We believe we each have divinely anointed roles and gifts for our community. We are told to wash one another's feet, so we wash, we listen, and we witness - all for His glory

- We believe that professionals aren't necessary to birth.

- We believe women want to be witnessed, and reassured - they want a sister connection.

- We believe in being lighthouses to ancestral healing, a place of safety during the storms, and most importantly intercessors.

- We believe no one has a monopoly on wisdom and knowledge.

- We believe it is our (women and our generation) responsibility to train up our heritage and pass down wisdom.

- We believe we are responsible to women not for women.

- We believe parenting is a season filled with radical responsibility.

Meet Jocelyn

I am the second oldest of six children and had the immense pleasure of attending my youngest sibling’s birth when I was 10 years old. I quickly became passionate about pregnancy and birth and began seriously studying homebirth when I was 15 years old.

I desire to learn all I can to best serve women in their childbearing years. I am passionate about supporting pregnancy and birth as a sacred physiological process and aiding in keeping the mother-baby dyad intact postpartum!

I am a baby wearing consultant & enthusiast, I have several different styles of carriers and a plethora of brands. I started building a collection and wore babies of any parent that gave me permission! I absolutely love helping parents find the right carrier for them and the baby they’re going to wear, and then helping them get the best fit! It brings me great joy when babies are kept close, comfortable, safe, snug and happy when someone they love is wearing them. To schedule a fit check (video call) or for education connect with me on IG: @walking.with.the.rooted
