In case you missed it, I’m building a local doula practice from scratch and sharing the whole process as I go – I’m calling it the Summer Doula Business Build. Partly because I want to try it out for real as a side gig in Tucson. And partly because I know how many of our […]

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 […]

I’ve been reflecting a lot on birth choices, the ways external voices influence a mother’s decisions, and how we, as birth workers, can truly support women in owning their experiences. At the core of this is a question that keeps resurfacing: What do we actually know about birth, and where do we just think we […]

Midwifery is not just broken; it is a mirror reflecting the dysfunction of our collective worldview. This is where I have found myself the last few years as I searched my inner landscape, trying to make sense of the impossible expectations placed on midwives and the women they serve. I don’t want this to seem […]
