SBD Class Instructor

Heidi Faith, SBD, Founder

I’m just a girl!

With a background in social work and counseling of abused and at-risk youth, I became pregnant with my first child and felt my calling shift to clinical perinatal psycho-spiritual therapy and birth support work.

I am a Chaplain trained through the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, and I am a member of the American Academy of Christian Counselors. I hold certificates through Cascade Christian Childbirth Association in birth education and labor support. As a double certified crisis pregnancy counselor in pre- and post- abortive counseling, I established a custom birth education program tailored to meet the needs of pregnant mothers considering either adoption or single-parenting plans. Shortly after creating stillbirthday, I began the Newborn Adoption Doula Network, which provides birth support to families experiencing the transition of fostering or adoption. I work as a member of Christian Childbirth Services LLC and am a member of the International Christian Childbirth Coalition. I have received additional training through Kansas City Hospice and Palliative Care, and Hospice Foundation of America’s Hospice Clergy End-of-Life Education Project.

My long term goal is to open Stillbirthday Palliative Birth Center.

I serve as a women’s mentor at my church, as a Maidens by His Design Instructor as well as a Director of Mentoring for Blessing God’s Way. Contact me to teach the young ladies in your life about maidenhood.

Stillbirthday is the legacy of my fourth child, born via natural miscarriage on April 19, 2011. You can read pieces of my journey.

I am available for educational and inspirational speaking engagements, and you can contact me at Heidi.Faith@stillbirthday.com.

At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.
