Transcending Strategies is a Global Relational Systems Design Lab that partners with Indigenous nations, governments, donors and social‑impact innovators to co‑create maternal‑health ecosystems rooted in Indigenous knowledge, relational governance and systemic transformation. Our founder’s two decades of frontline midwifery, policy advocacy and program design—spanning the first Native‑led U.S. birth‑justice and health center to national legislative work—anchor everything we do.

Our Approach

  1. Center Indigenous Ways of Knowing – We center traditional midwifery wisdom, cultural protocols and community‑defined evidence in every design decision.

  2. Practice Relational Governance – We employ consent‑based, trust‑building methods that respect sovereignty and long‑term accountability.

  3. Transform Systems – We map root‑cause power dynamics, shift capital flows and embed policy change so solutions endure.
