The Name
Orítan
When Spirit touches the physical — and Light pours in.
oh-Ree-Tahn
Orí
Yoruba · Spirit
Tan
Yoruba · Land
A word created by founder Angela Lewis, Orítan is a double entendre. It is the moment the Spirit enters a baby’s body — and the moment of awakening or enlightenment for the mother, father, or any support person present.
Our Mission
"I believe that birth is a sacred rite of passage. My mission is to ensure every family — especially families of color — feels seen, heard, and held."
