<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Mission</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #000000;">Our mission is to foster Conscious Postpartum Care as a right for every birthing person. Conscious care is embracing the sacred and facilitating the fullness of being into expression. We provide an integrated learning experience and community for Conscious Postpartum Caregivers inspired by the principles of Ayurveda. We recognize Ayurveda as medicine for the moment. It is intuitive, simple and applicable. We are working to increase accessibility to education and provide resources for all aspiring professionals seeking to learn. We are guided by the Universal Mother Principles of simplicity, flexibility, compassion, listening, grounding, intuition and non-judgement in the way we work with each other, with our students, with our colleagues and with the families we serve as a collective. We are advocates for inclusivity to all caregivers and birthing people regardless of background, identity, socioeconomic status, and access. We hold a reverence for the ancient cultures who have provided the knowledge that we draw from. We are committed to continuous learning and growing as we provide value and service to our community.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Charlotte was led to this work by Spirit as she came up with a business name during meditation. The teacher who trained her called one day and said she had been informally calling her students Ayurdoulas. That is how her deeper journey as a postpartum doula began after years of being a birth doula and prenatal massage therapist. She fully believes in supporting the mama and her experience of growing, birthing and nurturing life on this earth. Charlotte loves seeing how even the simplest shift can add sweetness to the mama’s Sacred Window and put a smile on her face in the midst of changes. As a matter of fact, her former career in the dental field also made people smile! Charlotte lives in San Antonio, TX.</span></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Inclusivity</h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here at the Center for Sacred Window Studies, our mission is to support the awareness and growth of postpartum care traditions for all people. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We use Ayurvedic traditions as our launching pad and are sensitive and inclusive of all other traditions from around the world that evolved to support Postpartum Care. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our class content, web pages, blog posts, etc you will see cisgender terms </span><b><i>and</i></b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">non-binary terms to accurately describe the bodies we serve and advocate on behalf of. These terms may include, but are not limited to: mother, woman, female, parent, birther, birth giver, birthing parent, and birthing individual.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We aim to prepare caregivers to serve</span> <b><i>all</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> birthing populations: </span><b><i>cisgender women and non-binary birth parents, across socioeconomic classes, cultures, sexual orientation, and racial, ethnic, and national identities.</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We aim to acknowledge underserved communities by making our language as inclusive as we are able, while honoring the wealth of historic cultural perspectives that evolved to support traditional gender roles and language.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We embrace inclusivity and respect for all people in our work and terminology. We accept responsibility for our learning curves and we appreciate your grace in helping us learn as we grow together to forward our mission.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We acknowledge that Ayurveda and many other postpartum care traditions come from cultures that have been marginalized by privileged populations. We come to this work with the deepest respect for the cultures in which these valuable traditions come from. We are humbled by what we know and are committed to continuing to learn more. We recognize our own privilege, and strive to be a platform and voice for change, equality and advocacy for those who are less privileged.</span></p>

<p>"This program exceeded my expectations BY FAR. The communication before the program started was excellent. I felt like they really heard me and understood who I am as a postpartum practitioner. This, to me, was insurance that these women truly understand the way of the feminine. Such a RELIEF in a patriarchal world!! The communication during the program was excellent as well. Instructors were always there for me, always got back to my questions immediately and were always very clear and kind. I cannot think of how it could be any better."</p>
