ABOUT KINDRED
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Kindred was born out of a desire to love and serve the women and families in our communities. Christian saw a need for more well rounded pregnancy care and education, care that takes women from preconception well into the postpartum period. We are committed to providing quality education and birth professional resources so you can live fully and naturally. The way we have served our community has taken many forms over the last several years but our mission and values have stayed the same:
OUR MISSION
To provide quality education and birth professional resources in a way that equips and inspires you to live fully and naturally, so that you can pour richly into your family and community.
OUR VALUES
Face to Face Connecting
Though many of our resources are available online we see the value of meeting and connecting in person face to face, which is why we created our in person Girl Talk community.
Shoulder to Shoulder Learning
We value learning from experts, and always growing, together (even us). We seek to provide opportunities were we can grow in our learning and understanding together shoulder to shoulder.
Back to Back Relating
We not only want people to feel connected, we value creating a space where women feel heard and supported, where women know someone has their back. We hope you’ll discover that we are all a lot more alike than different.
