Community Acupuncture Fundraiser: In support of BIPOC Birthing Families

We are excited to kick off 2022 with another community fundraiser, this time in support of the Nesting Doula Collective, a Vancouver island-based collective of birth workers who provide culturally affirming and anti-oppressive care to pregnant, birthing, and postpartum families who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or people of colour (BIPOC). Our goal is to raise AT LEAST $1000, which will cover the cost of one doula for a family in need of care. 

Heart & Hands Health Collective has been invited to be a Birth Ambassador and will be participating in their fundraising efforts, “It Takes a Village: 50 BIPOC Births in 2022“. The Nesting Doula Collective hopes to raise $50K for 50 births in 2022 as doula care is not supported by the medical system. Furthermore, the Collective provides their doula services at no-cost to families in order to decrease socioeconomic barriers to expectant BIPOC parents from receiving the care and support they need during a transformative period in their lives. 

THURSDAYS, 10am – 2pm in January (6th, 20th, 27th),
February (3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th) AND
March (3rd, 10th) to accommodate for weather cancellations!

25% of Community Acupuncture revenues will be donated to
the Nesting Doula Collective’s $50K for 50 births.

*Please note: no hours on Jan 13th*

If you cannot join us, please consider donating directly to the fundraiser directly, found HERE.
