We are a group of Moms and professionals who want to improve maternal and newborn outcomes across North Dakota by expanding access to safe birth options, strengthening postpartum and family support, bringing resources and community to families, and fostering collaboration between medical and holistic providers through training, advocacy, and community-based programs.

We believe every family in North Dakota has access to safe, supportive, and holistic maternity care, and every provider is connected through a collaborative network working together for stronger beginnings - no matter where they live.

How We Can Support You

Rural Communities

Increasing access to support for families regardless of ZIP code.

Four women and a baby sitting around a round table in a modern indoor space with large glass doors, a TV, and signage that includes phrases like 'welcome home' and 'main auditorium'.

Community Organizations

Creating collaboration instead of competition.

Education

Providing classes, trainings, and evidence-based information.

Two women are sitting on a gray couch inside a house, caring for a baby who is lying on a blanket. One woman, with dark hair and a black shirt, wearing gloves, is smiling and leaning over the baby. The other woman, with brown hair tied back, wearing a green shirt, is also looking at the baby. Behind them, there are framed butterfly pictures on the wall and a large window providing natural light.

Advocacy

Working toward healthier outcomes for every mother and baby.

  • 45.3% of babies in the state are born to mothers living in rural counties

  • 71.4% of all North Dakota counties are officially classified as "maternity care deserts"

  • 33% of all maternal deaths in the state are directly attributable to mental health conditions, including substance abuse and suicide.

  • On average, pregnant women in North Dakota must travel 32.4 miles to reach the nearest birthing hospital.

  • At 6 Months (Exclusive Breastfeeding): Only 24.9% to 25.9% of mothers manage to feed their infants exclusively breast milk by 6 months, matching the broader national trend of steep mid-year drop-offs.

Together, we can change these numbers.
