new products!

We have been (literally) pouring tons of time and energy into the product side of Sprout & Blossom over the last year. You’ll see a whole bunch of new products, all new labels, a really cool new vibe, and gifts fit for even more people in your life. We are really excited to share all that we’ve created with you! At the event, you’ll have a unique opportunity to try all the Sprout & Blossom Botanicals products, the new ones and the well-loved ones. You might even walk away with a freebie!! :)

the birth equity fund

WHAT IS THE BIRTH EQUITY FUND & WHY DID WE FORM IT?

Doulas are wonderful. We also believe that they are critical, especially for BIPOC birthing people who face much higher health and safety risks in the American hospital birth system.

The Sprout & Blossom team has been trying for a while to figure out how to be part of the solution with the skills and resources that we have. We formed the Birth Equity Fund in order to supplement our service rates so that we are able to offer a sliding scale. The fund is designated for BIPOC birthing people who express a need and choose to hire our BIPOC doula, Brianna Trammell.

HOW IS IT FUNDED?

The Birth Equity Fund is financed both by donor contributions and by a percentage of all Sprout & Blossom’s full-rate bookings. If you would like to make a contribution to the fund, please follow this link and scroll down to find the black donation button. Your generosity is deeply appreciated, and will make a real impact in the lives of a local BIPOC family.

Our Birth Equity Fund is set up this way for two reasons:

We desire to expand access to our birth doula and postpartum support for BIPOC birthing people.
We want to ensure that Brianna, and any future BIPOC doulas on our team, are paid what they are worth, and no less, so that this work continues to be sustainable.
