🌸 Senior Member Spotlight 🌸
Courtney Morris, Dch, R.Ac

Pregnancy is one of life’s most powerful transformations — and having the right support can make all the difference.
Our featured senior member shares, “I want to support people through their pregnancy and birth prep so they can be as prepared as possible. When we do that, we help set up family health and wellbeing from the beginning.” 💫
Through acupuncture and holistic care, she helps parents enter birth with confidence, balance, and peace.

That’s a wrap for our OBAA/GAP maternal health acupuncture training in Guatemala. We couldn’t be more grateful to the group for their eagerness to learn and share their own knowledge, as we bonded over our shared passion for safe, respectful, humanized birth. The group was comprised of Indigenous midwives, Urban Guatemalan midwives, doulas and El Salvadoran birth workers. Hearts full, we look forward to staying in touch for clinical rounds and heartfelt check ins ❤️❤️
