…and how that has carried through to birth work! With the announcement of our Sacred Birth Certificate program, I wanted to do a lengthier storytelling share about my former life as a young musician. This came to me in a dream recently as something I needed to feel in my body and I know it’s […]
Life has been a winding road for Margo and I the last few years. I feel that in many ways our experiences, obstacles and insights have brought this Sacred Birth Certificate program TO US. Not the other way around. This program found us; in all the ways that we started wanting to express the BIGNESS […]
Miscarriage has been part of my story since long before I was even born. Without telling too much of a story that isn’t only my own, my only “full sibling” died in the first trimester 15+ years before I was born. I was sort of a “second chance” for my parents after a long and […]

My 15 year old son takes a prenatal “vitamin”. I put that in quotes, because it’s not a lab made vitamin full of filler (most of them are BTW, even the expensive “healthy” ones), but real food. I wouldn’t put anything else in my kids’ bodies besides real food in one form or another. Since […]
I start this podcast with a mini-rant on blame and shame and miscarriage and why I think we need to shift this old paradigm and way of thinking.
