Greetings to all those reading this; its a pleasure to initiate this connection & I truly look forward to getting to know each one of you along this journey together in Luminous Birth! My name is Ashley Armitage - a holistic practitioner of: Nutrition (R.H.N.), Ayurvedic Abhyanga, Postpartum Care & Traditional Birthkeeping. As a recent graduate of Victorias phenomenal Traditional Birthkeeper Mentorship, I have seen the threads of my life experiences weave a glorious, unfolding path forward in my life. My life is inspired & deeply intertwined with the realms of feminine beauty & spirituality; innate from a young age but given space to blossom through the realm of Kundalini Yoga & Sikh traditions. I have learned so very much in the Life I’ve lived thus far & have the utmost joy and excitement for all that is unfolding for me. There is much to say, however, I welcome further connections from each and every one of you. As of recent, there has been plenty of inspiring conversation about how best to nurture and water this community garden that is Luminous Birth; I am honored and absolutely tickled to accept the invitation from Victoria & step into the role of “Community Care & Outreach Coordinator” - collaborating with the essence of Luminous Birth has been an initiation in itself & I am so excited to see how this community flourishes with even more tender, loving support. Please reach out with any & ALL questions, input and reflections; I’ll keep an eye out for your posts & interactions :) November at a Glance: - Thursday November 13th: Live Community Call - Thursday November 20th: Live Community Call - Thursday November 27th: Live Community Call with VIP Guest Poppy Burr: The Hormone Herbalist! - All Calls are scheduled for  1:30 PM EST | 6:30 PM WET with the Link to Join in your Emails 1 Hour Before the Call or under ‘Calendar’ tab in your Skool App. On November 27th Poppy’s presence in our live call will offer you deeper insight to the wise realm that Poppy works in: an intimate conversation on how Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis can support not just Mama, but Papa & Baby - The Ethos of Family - as a whole.

Hi loves, Today is our Open Community Call, and I have an incredibly special guest joining us — one of those rare, spontaneous premium events that sometimes unfolds inside our Transform Into Birth community. Dr. Stephanie Mines — neuroscientist, embryologist, researcher, author, poet, mother, grandmother, and founder of Climate Change & Consciousness, Jin Shin TARA, and the Regenerative Health for a Climate Changing World MA/PhD— will be joining me for a fireside conversation on: 🌿 The Mother as the Original Medicine — how maternal consciousness forms the foundation of a regenerative future, and why birth keepers are the true guardians of planetary health. Gather round the fire — your energy, heart, and voice are needed in this conversation. 🗓 When: Thursday, November 6th, 2025 🕒 Time: 1:30 PM EST | 6:30 PM WET 🔗 Zoom Link: CLICK HERE ✨ This call is open and free to all, regardless of membership. Invite a sister, friend, mama, couple, birth keeper or health practitioner who would love to be held in this sacred space and become part of an incredibly powerful global movement advancing healthcare and bringing the new regenerative future to life.

This week’s free class is one of my favorites — The Sound of Birth: Connection, Voice, AND Creation — a perfect companion for the SCORPIO season we’re currently moving through, where so many are being invited to face the themes of voice, truth, and expressing what's beneath the surface... This class is part of Module 15: Unlocking Your Voice which is a super nutrient-dense exploration of sound, voice, vibration, and frequency — and how they shape conception, pregnancy, and birth and womanhood. Inside this module, you have access to 4 very powerful classes: 1. Ancient Harmony, Womb Consciousness 2. The Sound of Birth: Connection, Voice, and Creation 3. Resonance of Life: The Throat–Yoni Connection 4. Voice, Frequency, Pregnancy, and Birth As well as several powerful resources and integrations: 🎶 A Prenatal Sound Practice Guide 🎵 Bonus Masterclass: "Musical Beings in a Sonic Universe" with Sound Master Zeni Ogrisseg 🌸 Handout: Practices to Raise Your Vibrational Frequency 🏡 Guide: Creating Sacred Space at Home — Tips for Creating Your Sacred Nest In this module, we explore not only the anatomical link between the throat and yoni, but also ancient sound traditionsfrom cultures around the world, impacts of sound on prenatal development , and SOUNDING as an incredible vehicle that will transport you through labor and birth. We dive into liberating the throat chakra — learning to express, to vocalize, to speak our truth, to say “no” and “yes” with clarity and coherence. This is about remembering the critical importance of every mother reclaiming her voice to fully embody her power and sovereignty. This work is so timely — especially now, when the world is so full of noise. We are being called to listen once and for all to our inner voice -- allowing our womb to speak, ourr inner wisdom... If you’d like to go deeper, the entire Transform Into Birth Self-Led Path (which includes over 100+ classes and resourceslike this one) is currently on sale.
