About Us

Kihci Wombwork Collective was founded on the belief that education and advocacy are powerful tools for change. Our mission is to bridge the gap in reproductive care, support families of all backgrounds, and empower the next generation with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures.

We offer trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and inclusive support for individuals and families of all identities. From birth and postpartum care to body literacy education and community advocacy, we’re building a future where reproductive support is accessible to everyone.

Our Values:

• Autonomy: Everyone deserves the right to make informed decisions about their body.

• Inclusion: We support all families, identities, and lived experiences.

• Education: Knowledge is power, and it belongs to everyone.

• Community: Change happens when we grow together.

Member Biographies

Maeve Ebright (she/her)

Maeve is the Collective Director and Lead Doula of Kihci Wombwork Collective. With a strong foundation in biology and nursing, Maeve trained for two years as an out-of-hospital student midwife through a MEAC-accredited program under NARM before choosing to step back and focus on her family. Her passion for advocacy was first ignited by her own experiences with recurrent pregnancy loss and a high-risk pregnancy that ultimately brought her rainbow baby into the world. Today, she is channeling that same passion into public policy and law to create systemic change in reproductive healthcare.

Maeve’s journey into doula work began in 2020 while living in South Carolina. After the birth of her daughter in New Mexico, she attended her first doula training in 2022 and has since continued to expand her skills and knowledge. She has trained with DONA, studied acupressure and movement for unmedicated physiological birth under private midwives, and completed coursework in yoga, breastfeeding, and lactation. She holds certification through ProDoula and has specialized training in pregnancy and infant loss support.

Maeve’s care philosophy centers on supporting both clients and providers while bridging systemic gaps in rural healthcare. As an Indigenous birthworker with Métis and Ojibwe heritage, she is deeply committed to creating equitable, culturally responsive care and addressing disparities that affect marginalized communities. Maeve believes that creating meaningful change begins with recognizing our own privileges, as providers, community members, and peers, and shifting away from competitive mindsets to prioritize collective well-being.

Her vision for Kihci Wombwork Collective is to serve as a foundational pillar for reproductive care movements in southeastern New Mexico, fostering collaboration, accessibility, and advocacy. Maeve hopes the work of the collective will spark lasting change not only within her local community but also on a state and federal level.

Eric Ebright (he/him)

Eric serves as the Financial and Operations Manager for Kihci Wombwork Collective, bringing extensive leadership, logistics, and organizational experience to the team. A proud veteran, Eric spent eight years serving in the United States Army, including roles as an engineer and artillery specialist, and completed advanced Air Assault training during his service. His military background instilled in him a strong foundation in discipline, strategic planning, and operational coordination, skills that continue to guide his approach to management today.

Currently, Eric works full-time as a Facilities Management Director and Security Director, where he oversees daily operations, coordinates complex projects, and manages organizational systems. His leadership experience and hands-on approach uniquely position him to support the collective’s financial planning, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations, even without a formal degree.

Eric’s passion for this work is deeply personal. As a family-first individual, his drive to create meaningful change is rooted in his love for his family, many of whom are members of marginalized communities. Whether assisting with insurance billing, streamlining administrative processes, or ensuring the collective runs smoothly behind the scenes, Eric is dedicated to building a stronger, more equitable future for families like his.

Outside of work, Eric enjoys hiking, fitness, providing nutritional guidance, and spending quality time with his loved ones.

Cheyenne Henson (she/her)
Cheyenne is a full-spectrum doula in training with a focus on labor, birth, and postpartum care. She has felt called to birth work for a long time, and her passion lies in ensuring that every birthing person is educated, empowered, and confident in making informed decisions about their care.

Training & Education
Cheyenne is currently enrolled in the Kihci Wombwork Collective Doula Training Program and has completed the fertility doula module. She is especially excited to learn evidence-based ways to support more comfortable, less painful births and to help parents navigate the fourth trimester with care and compassion.

Reproductive Justice Philosophy
At the core of Cheyenne’s approach is a deep belief that every person deserves access to quality healthcare and the right to make safe, informed decisions about their own body. To her, healthcare is about health, happiness, and saving lives, not politics. She is committed to meeting every individual as a human being and providing equity-driven, inclusive support.

Embodying Collective Values
For Cheyenne, being part of the collective feels like sisterhood. Working together to build something beautiful means families receive stronger, more consistent support. She believes that teamwork allows birth workers to lift one another up and provide more thorough, around-the-clock care during one of the most transformative times in a parent’s life.

Passions & Personal Life
Outside of birth work, Cheyenne’s greatest joy is spending time with her family. She and her partner are raising a two-year-old daughter, and creating memories together is one of her favorite parts of life. She is also a passionate advocate for the autism community and believes in spreading awareness and understanding wherever she can.

Looking Ahead
As she completes her training, Cheyenne hopes to support families of all kinds, including LGBTQ+ parents, neurodivergent families, and people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds. Her goal is to provide equitable, trauma-informed care to everyone she serves and to help bring a fresh, shame-free perspective on wombwork to Roswell and southeastern New Mexico. She is dedicated to reducing stigma around reproductive health and ensuring that unbiased education is accessible to all.
