My birthday happened this past weekend so I thought I’d recount my own birth story; with some rabbit holes and observations and reflections from life at this moment. Check out my Midwife Stories project (which starts August1) and my Miscarriage Mother support which is ongoing.
I share a couple of stories with you here; one a birth story, one a surf story but both with great vibes and potential lessons for all of us. It is both very old and new to teach and share by storytelling; it is how wisdom and experience is passed on. I can’t wait to […]
Death. Loss. Rebirth. I never thought I’d be in this space and place of offering miscarriage virtual support, but here it is. Miscarriage is not a place anyone wants to find themselves, but if you do, or someone you know does, the support is necessary and valuable. Holding space for women to go through this […]
Here’s my truth: I’ve personally experienced freebirth AND I’m in the role of midwife and I do not see those two things as mutually exclusive. However, I do have some thoughts/questions and maybe some wisdom to share around what I see the freebirth movement as. I want us all to question the good, the bad and […]
I wrote an email this week addressing birth drama and how I am happy to have left the fake, social media “birth world” that exists. I know so many of you get it, and so I’d love you to listen and see what resonates. I do believe that together we can create something new, outside […]
I am feeling more clarity lately about what is next for me and Indie Birth. I am sharing here a bigger vision to teach the world about birth and wonder how that might impact our world at large. I know it will, and that it might take time, but this is what feels most aligned […]
There is no experience like growing a baby for deciding to feel the body and tuning into her! This is a slow process, with time and space and healing cannot be rushed. I share more about how I think this work can benefit pregnant women and mamas specifically, so tune in and see what you […]
I’m back here with the last podcast of 2024 to blab about a real nerd topic. Whether you’re the mom or the midwife or student, which is better, the doppler or the fetoscope? There is a lot of nuance here as always and things to consider; from the why and when to the subtleties of […]
Sharing my honest process here and reminiscing about the first birth I ever attended alone, 17 years ago! My sister and my nephew gave me this honor (or rather, the Universe did) and I enjoyed reflecting on this story and the relative innocence. Can we regain innocence and a naive nature for something we know […]
