I thought I’d share more about how we celebrate and why and what my intentions are with my family. Our childhoods are such big influences on what we choose to continue with our kids, but I believe our intentions are just as meaningful. With creating ritual and traditions during holiday times, we create the future […]

Mothering #12: Our Winter Solstice Traditions

Podcast

There is so much wisdom in moving more slowly; apprenticeship and becoming a birth attendant is no exception. We live in a high octane world where even birth attendants are “made” in minutes or months. While that is an option, I really want us to consider the way it feels. Being in a hurry or […]

Sam and I chat about the birth bag shopping list she made for me recently. We could easily have spent hours on this, but wanted to share a little taste of the perspective that we share around tools and equipment. I love that Sam has brought such wisdom to our “team” here and I miss […]

It’s been a few week of social media madness, and I am so glad I could let myself settle before sharing with you, as always, my transparent heart and growth through what could be seen as a “negative” experience. I am so grateful for my somatic lessons lately and for my teachers, because to be […]

This podcast is a riff (once again) on a social media post I wrote in response to the rhetoric I often see online about freebirth and how trauma can’t happen when people chose that. I obviously disagree, and explain why I think this. I talk about how we can best support women to feel whatever […]

I was pondering just a few ways that many midwives overuse technology. It’s not all or nothing, but there is a way to use our intelligence, our intuition and our intention when deciding what if any technology to offer to a client. I think it comes back to how you want to feel and how […]
