Hello, I’m Rivka.

Birth Attendant,

Teacher & Author.

I have been serving families during their reproductive journeys  for thirty years, and I’ve worked in women’s health for decades before that. My goal is to provide YOU with a joyful, safe, conscious experience, whether you’re a birthing mother, a birth attendant, or someone seeking health advice. I’m based (mostly) in Montreal, Canada. 

I have five sons, a bunch of daughters-in-love and a son-in-love. Two baby grandsons who are the loves of my life, and I’ve been married for a really long time. I also love to run long distances, and in my spare time I play the clarinet.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “I had the opportunity to work with Rivka during my pregnancy. She offered me a container to emotionally process what was happening, and helped me focus my attention / intention on how I wanted to show up for this, my 5th pregnancy. Rivka offered her counsel when prompted, but her true gift was in helping me figure out what I wanted. I continue to use the tools that she modelled for me and she really shifted how I understood birth in a social context. Rivka disintegrated the binaries of hospital birth vs indie birth and offered me a framework in where my choices and well-being were centered. In the end, I experienced a life altering birth, where I got to meet a whole, true version of myself. I don’t think that would have happened without the months of work we did together.”

    -EV

  • “Rivka's class is truly special. It beautifully blends practical skills with abstract concepts, allowing us to learn using both the logical and spiritual mind. Each class, women share their personal and professional birth stories, which are invaluable to our learning. The welcoming and nurturing environment she fosters encourages open sharing and discussion. I leave each class feeling empowered and inspired, ready to support families in meaningful ways.”

    -TR

  • “The TBA seminar is an immensely fulfilling learning experience for any woman interested in birth, postpartum, or just looking to connect with other women. It is intimate, personal, and both practical and mystical in its teachings. As an ex-labour and delivery nurse I was able to complement my medical training with knowledge from birth outside of the system. What I appreciated most about this course was the friendships I gained, the knowledge that was shared, and the very affordable and accessible price point.”

    -FB

  • “This course has been eye-opening for me and my family, the information we reviewed each class is always so useful and the resources such as books and podcasts encourage me to self-study and explore different perspectives of the world through distinctive voices, and of course, the heart-warming community that surrounded us from the very beginning always made me feel welcome to express myself freely, to make questions, to seek answers. Rivka has been my steadfast companion, standing by me with unwavering support through every fear and doubt. As a mentor, she’s brave enough to carry honesty with her everywhere.

    This community of women is really encouraging, and I’m thankful to have met them and their stories, it’s priceless.”
