The Freebirth Cult Has Collapsed

It’s true! I’m back from a 10 month “rebirth” myself with some old ideas and new perspectives on the dissolution of this extreme birth movement. But mostly, we are collectively advancing (yay!) and moving forward together is a real possibility.

The Catch Your Breath Club

Today I talk directly to birth workers and about birth work specifically in this new offering for September. Most women I meet are chronically depleted and exhausted, and birth workers are at the top of that list. Is that what we want for ourselves? Is that what we want for the future? I am done with hearing and seeing women wear exhaustion as a badge of honor. It’s not anything to be ashamed…

Postpartum Miscarriage Support

In offering my Miscarriage Mother to women all over, I’ve been witness to some key themes and feelings that may arise for women after a miscarriage. The time “after” means days, to months to years and I’ve also used my own experience to get familiar with what these beliefs and themes may be. I’m starting a waitlist for my 5 week Postpartum Miscarriage Support 1:1 container, and you can join below…

When the Midwife Becomes the Doula

I love that we can always challenge the status quo together, in our own ways. And don’t forget to check…

Midwife Stories

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 offer my new project to you and the world! I will be releasing more “Midwife Stories” starting in August as a new project that you…

Miscarriage Support – The Miscarriage Mother

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 in a humane way and emerge powerful is my main objective, and I am honored to be doing this…

The Honest Truth About Freebirth (Re-Release)

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 the ugly when it comes to labeling births as this or that, and I definitely come back to…
