“Trystan's training on transgender & gender-expansive fertility was very comprehensive and evidence-based, while also utilizing community experiences to enrich healthcare workers' understanding of the variety of TGE pregnancy and birth. Highly recommended! All healthcare workers who see pregnant people should go through Trystan's training.”

Martha Lanphear

“This course is everything I wanted and needed it to be. All the information was very accessible and I hope everyone supporting the birthing queer community will take this module! It's opened my eyes to the first hand experiences that transgender people have had during their fertility and birth journey. I really appreciated the emotional and personal take on education, but also how you intertwined facts and science that we have (yay!) and what's very lacking in terms of understanding the prenatal, birth and postpartum period for transgender folks. Thank you to Trystan, Kori, Marnie, Bran and Jay for your strength, willingness to share and vulnerability that you all shared. I am very grateful and appreciate you all so much!”

“I was starting at a near-zero place when it came to understanding the birth process for trans people. I'm sure I still don't know everything, but a lot of myths have been replaced with facts and a lot of unknowns are now known to me. It has been an absolute pleasure to learn from Trystan. I have found myself using this training often in my work around improving the birthing experience for families in my rural area. The videos, interviews, and knowledge checks were well thought out and enriching. It has also been helpful to stay up to date on Collaborate Consulting's blog to keep learning more things. I would recommend this training to anyone. Understanding more about each other is always worth doing.”

“Absolutely incredible course - the experience was so much richer than I was expecting. Even being a member of queer and LGBTQIA+ communities, there was plenty for me to learn and ample space for me to grow into. I can't wait to fold these teachings into my practice!”
