Village360’s Birthworks: Your guide to inclusive pregnancy support, natural birth options, and learning through shared birth stories

Many parents face long waits, short visits, and limited access to real pregnancy support. It’s common to start this journey without clear pregnancy resources, consistent prenatal care, or a strong support system especially within traditional maternal health settings.
In this very first episode of Village360’s Birthworks, midwife and community leader Tara Lawal joins host Jodilyn Owen to share a powerful alternative. Rooted in wrap-around care, Village 360 is a midwifery-led program that offers families a new model of support through group prenatal care, personalized midwifery care, and weekly prenatal classes held at the Rainier Valley birth center.
This episode walks through the full experience, from the first visit of group prenatal care, and how each step includes space for questions, education, and emotional care. You’ll also learn how childbirth education, intentional parenting, and parenting support come to life in the community.
You will leave with a better understanding of what true connection in care can feel like. Whether you're preparing for a holistic pregnancy or navigating a second or third birth experience, this episode offers a new way forward.
Village360’s Birthworks is here to support you through every part of your perinatal care journey with people who care, in a space that welcomes you as you are.

Pregnancy can bring a lot of questions, and you deserve care that feels steady, connected, and truly personal. Village 360’s Birthworks offers something different: a midwife podcast centered on practical tips, shared wisdom, and grounded support from people who understand the experience of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
Hosted by the team at Rainier Valley Birth & Health Center, this show explores your pregnancy journey through stories from midwives, providers, and parents. We talk about maternal wellness, mental health in pregnancy, and how community-based midwifery can shift outcomes for families who are often overlooked.
At the heart of this show is Village360, a model of care built around trust, access, and the power of community. You’ll hear from midwives, doulas, and parents offering tangible pregnancy tips, honest reflections, and practical parenting support. We also dig into topics like basic health recommendations, birth options, and what it takes to feel truly supported during one of life’s biggest transitions.
If you're seeking midwifery care that meets you where you are and providers who listen, you're in the right place. This is care by your community, for your community.
