Bridging the gap between westernised health and wellness services and traditional ways of healing for Indigenous Families through the reclamation of traditions and culture.
Our Vision
Creating opportunities for Indigenous families to birth their babies in ceremony surrounded by Aunties, Elders and traditional medicines. With Indigenous care providers providing land-based and culturally specific healing modalities to add to the collective healing of our nations from pre-conception, and through the four quadrants of life.
About Us
Ihkapaskwa Collective is a Grassroots Indigenous, women led non-profit committed to culturally safe reproductive care for Indigenous families. Our team of traditional Aunties and Indigenous health care providers are committed to supporting families in a culturally relevant way.
