Join my 2023 Traditional Birth Attendant seminar: a year long course that will be online with the chance to meet up every few months. You find your own mentor if possible. Affordable pricing. I am really excited about passing on my skills to others! I want to provide women with the knowledge to attend and recognize healthy pregnancy birth and postpartum journeys; to recognize when things are changing; to have some skills for preventative and healing care without going to techniques that are forbidden by the state. learn

About me!
my name is Rivka Cymbalist.
I've lived in many places and traveled even more.
I have five sons and one husband.
I've assisted at hundreds of births. I honor undisturbed birth. I honor women and their bodies. I believe it is time for women to take their own power and use it for peace.
My PR for a half marathon is 2:21:49
We had a mixed organic farm in Umbria for a few years.
I founded a radical volunteer doula organization in 2003.
I was always a cat person, now I'm a dog person.
I went to Greece in 2017 to work with people in the refugee camps.
My son and I own a cafe.
I love to throw parties, but then I don't talk much.
Books and reading keep me sane, more or less.
My father was a scientist who played the piano.
My mother was an artist who taught mathematics.
I have two sisters, younger.
My favourite poem is Ithaka, by Cavafy.
My favorite movie is Down by Law.
I can play the clarinet, and the saxophone.
