Honoring a Legacy: Billie Harrigan, Our Platinum Sponsor

Changing the future, one birth at a time.

We are beyond honored to announce that Billie Harrigan is this year’s Platinum Sponsor of The Reclaiming Birth Conference.

Billie is more than a sponsor—she is a foundational voice in the traditional birth movement. This movement exists in large part because Billie had the courage to say, “This isn’t right, we can do better.” Her path was born out of personal experience and a deep knowing that birth could be something far better than what most women were being offered within our medical system.

Long before most of us joined this movement, Billie had been speaking out—standing up for women, babies, and the sacredness of birth. She carved out a new path, not just for herself, but for all of us. And for that, we are so deeply grateful!

As we come together to reclaim birth, Billie is actively teaching and mentoring the next generation of Traditional Birth Companions—equipping them with not just skills, but sovereignty, reverence, and trust in the physiological design of birth. She is ensuring that women and families continue to have access to real options—ones rooted in power and choice.

Billie’s work is transformational. She supports women who have been harmed by the medical system—those carrying trauma from past births—and helps them begin to make sense of their experiences. She shows them that there is another way. One that honors the motherbaby dyad, the wisdom of the body, and above all, the sacredness of birth.

Through The Hive Collective, Billie offers mentorship, training, and community for birth workers committed to truth-based, woman-centered care. It’s a space where critical thinking and physiological birth are honored—and where sovereignty is lived, not just spoken. As the founder of Birth Trauma Ontario, she also provides education, advocacy, and resources for families navigating the aftermath of difficult or traumatic birth experiences. Her work calls out systemic harm while offering a path toward healing and reclamation. In every facet of her work, Billie reminds us what’s possible when we center women, honor birth, and speak the truth.

We are also deeply honored that Billie will be joining us once again this year as one of our incredible featured speakers. She always brings something new, rich, and unforgettable to the stage. Prepare to be not only moved by her wisdom, but thoroughly entertained!

It’s time we step out of the fear that has been passed down for generations and step back into our birthright.
We are reclaiming birth.

Billie often reminds us:
“No one is coming to save us.”
We have the power to do this on our own.

And we are.

We are profoundly grateful for this partnership. To collaborate with Billie is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with someone who has devoted her life to this movement and its mission. Her support of the conference reflects not only generosity but a deep, shared commitment to reclaiming birth.

Together, we are changing the future—one birth at a time.

With love,
