Birth Priestess™ Initiation & Training
Birth Priestess™ Training Overview
Exclusive to Ile Asé Omi Orun™ Private Membership
Rooted in the “African Indigenous Pre-Colonial Midwifery Framework”™ (Patent-Pending)
The Birth Priestess™ training and initiation process at Ile Asé Omi Orun™, is a sacred, ancestral reclamation of African Indigenous Pre-Colonial Midwifery™ practices, spiritual birthwork, and cultural lineage preservation. This training is exclusively available within our Private Membership and serves as a spiritual, historical, and ceremonial passage into the sacred role of a Birth Priestess™, as a sacred, protected, lineage based initiation.
Ancestral Foundations & Patent-Pending Framework
Invented by Priestess Okunsola M. Amadou, this sacred process of education, initiation, and preservation, is directly rooted in the African Indigenous Pre-Colonial Midwifery Framework™, a patent-pending system developed to document, preserve, and revitalize the spiritual, cultural, and practical knowledge of African midwifery before colonial disruption. This framework ensures that endangered traditions—rituals, ceremonies, herbal wisdom, spiritual and cultural birthwork, and community-centered care—are protected, taught, and restored to their rightful place.
As a Birth Priestess™, you are not simply a midwife—you are a spiritual birth guide, a vessel of ancestral wisdom, and a protector of the sacred rites of birth. This path requires deep commitment, initiation, and training in traditional African spiritual systems that govern life, birth, and transition.
