Interconnected by nature.
Transformed through story.

Core Compass helps organizations translate how the system actually works into strategies that drive change through narrative, policy, and systems thinking.

Maternal & women’s health doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

It’s shaped by policy, research, community, lived experience, and the everyday realities of care.

Core Compass sees this entire ecosystem, not just one part of it. We work across disciplines to understand how these forces connect, overlap, and influence one another, bringing depth and expertise to issues that are often treated in isolation. Our work comes to life through four interconnected areas of expertise:

  • Consulting

  • Research

  • Advocacy

  • Wellness

These services can be engaged individually or together, depending on your organization's goals and where you are in the work. Learn more about each offering.

The Power of Story

When complexity becomes overwhelming, story creates understanding.

Through narrative, insight, and a creative approach to communication, Core Compass helps shift perspectives, humanize data, and illuminate new ways forward. Story is how evidence becomes accessible and systems begin to feel personal. It is where expertise meets empathy and where clarity takes shape.

Guided by four strengths.
Elevated by one vision.

Core Compass operates across four interconnected areas of expertise, each strengthening the other. Together, they support the multidimensional ecosystem of relationships, identity, family structures, and the conditions that shape care.
