Strategic planning, for birth work.
For us. By us.
What is Kinfolk Consulting?
Kinfolk Consulting is a maternal and community health consulting firm helping organizations, providers, and communities turn ideas into sustainable solutions.
Rooted in community birth and reproductive justice, we bring together strategy, operations, research, policy, and implementation to address the systems that shape maternal healthcare. We work with birth workers, birth centers, community-based organizations, healthcare organizations, funders, and public-sector partners to strengthen programs, develop workforces, improve systems of care, and expand access to high-quality, culturally responsive services.
Our work is grounded in the experiences of the people closest to the challenges we are working to solve - particularly communities that have historically been underserved, under-resourced, or excluded from decision-making.
Whether we are helping launch a birth center, assessing a maternal health workforce, strengthening organizational infrastructure, developing a new program, examining policy and payment barriers, or creating an implementation strategy, our focus is the same: building solutions that work in practice and create lasting change.

Our approach to opening black, indigenous people of color owned or led birth centers.
At Kinfolk Consulting, our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the specific needs and experiences of the BIPOC community. Our experienced consultants work closely with you to develop a comprehensive plan that considers the social, cultural, and systemic factors impacting place-based maternal health. By centering equity, inclusivity, and empowerment, we aim to support you in creating spaces that fosters positive birth experiences and improves outcomes for diverse families.
