Release past challenges.

But it’s more than just a conference—it’s your midwifery family, a community of like-minded individuals who understand the joys and challenges of your work.

JOIN THE MOVEMENTOur Mission
The Lunar Midwifery Conference is here to:
Reclaim traditional homebirth practices to offer women autonomy and physiological, holistic birthing experiences.
Provide hands-on education in vaginal breech, multiples, and VBAC support.
Reduce trauma for midwives and the families they support.
Build a strong, inclusive community where birth workers feel supported, inspired, and ready to lead the change.
Why Attend?
Midwifery is rewarding, but the challenges can feel overwhelming. You’ve seen beauty in birth, but also trauma that stays with you.
This conference offers the tools to release what’s holding you back so you can show up fully for yourself, your clients, and your loved ones.
Midwives experience some of the highest rates of burnout, divorce, and emotional strain. Let’s change that.
You’ll leave this conference with:
A renewed sense of purpose and alignment in your work.
Skills to support vaginal breech, multiples, and VBAC with confidence.
Techniques to recognize and release trauma from your body and your clients.
Fascial release and body balancing techniques for midwives and clients.
A strong network of like-minded birth workers who understand your challenges and support your vision.

REBECCA WALKER
Rebecca is a homebirth midwife, who is also a wife, mother, gardener, herbalist, hunter and gatherer. She grew up wild and untamed in Northern MN and is the founder of Lunar Midwifery.
Rebecca’s mission is rooted in her personal journey of healing and discovery. After experiencing trauma during her own births and witnessing its impact on her and her family, Rebecca became passionate about becoming a traditional midwife who respects women's autonomy and choices.
She is passionate about creating a safe, empowering space for midwives to connect, ground themselves and heal their life and birth trauma so they can serve families from a healthy place and not a trauma response.
Her vision is to restore autonomy and respect in birth, one mother and midwife at a time. Rebecca believes in storytelling, shared knowledge, hands on learning and bridging the gap while ending gatekeeping and horizontal violence.
Wisdom belongs to us all. We can all learn, grow, do better and respect one another. We can be a positive light to change the world.
Your Invitation
This is more than a conference; it’s a movement. Together, we can rewrite the narrative of birth, empowering women, families and birth workers to thrive while balancing bodies and releasing trauma.
