Why Trees?

Throughout this site, you’ll see images of trees—especially oaks. These are more than visuals; they’re symbols of what we believe in.

We call on the Oaks of Oakland as a reminder of our deep roots in community, our connection to land, and the power of collective growth. Trees remind us that birthwork, like all care and support, is not linear—it’s layered, branching, and sustained by what lies beneath the surface.

Our work grows from the ground up: rooted in history, nourished by relationship, and always reaching toward a more just and thriving future.
