October 19, 2020 Organic Clothing + Our Reproductive Health
In this episode I encompass a lot more than just our reproductive health and fertility, as I talk about how the chemicals on our clothes and from its production affect our overall health (as our reproductive health is of course entwined with our overall state of health). This is a pretty brief intro to the topic but hopefully will serve as a starting place, and to bring some awareness to a toxic industry. I also of course cover organic, natural and sustainable fabrics, why they last longer than conventional ones and where you can find them (at least my favorite companies!)

June 12, 2020 Wild Pregnancy: Radical Self-Care
In this episode, I share about what a wild, autonomous and mother-led pregnancy is and what it can look like. This is such an expansive topic that it can include SO much more than I shared here. The intention behind walking pregnancy in this way is that it can look like whatever YOU want, beyond the bounds of anyone else's ideas. This is just a starting point!

May 15, 2020 Pregnancy Morning Routine (Guided Meditation)
I couldn't find my perfect meditation for my morning routine during pregnancy, so I created it here. I wanted to incorporate a breathwork practice of connecting to my body, releasing tension and deepen my breath. I also wanted to incorporate feeling joy and gratitude and create a space to envision my ideal birth. Then from growing that inner joy, I wanted to envision sending it to all around me and the Earth with blessings. This meditation offers all of these elements and that space for pregnant mamas to take the time every morning for themselves, as I've been doing, and set the stage for a beautiful, powerful day.
HOW I DO IT: right when I wake up, I create a space for a morning routine. After drinking some water, I go to my birth altar and light a candle, opening up the space for dreaming and grounding. I smudge myself and look out the window at nature. Then I listen to this meditation, and then close out the circle by moving my body, thanking my guides and ancestors. This routine maybe takes me about a half hour every morning, and it sets the stage for me to begin the day really peaceful and grounded. So much thanks to Sophie Wild, ecstatic birth coach, for encouraging me to begin a morning routine!
If you want to hear the meditation by itself without the intro, go HERE and you can download the track by itself if you like this meditation. Enjoy!

May 08, 2020 Entering the Temple: Vaginal Mapping + De-armoring
Today I'm going to talk all about the topic of connecting to our pelvic areas through massage, presence, and visualization. I'll share in particular how I see the practice of vaginal mapping and de-armoring, what it is, and an intro on how you can get started implementing this as a practice for yourself. I'll talk about:
- Trauma held in the body as imprints, and releasing stored energy vs. being attached to the "story"
- How we build up "armor" in our bodies and pelvic bowl
- How when we learn our anatomy, we can inhabit and visualize our bodies deeper, and move energy better
- What is "vaginal mapping"?
- Suggestions and elements of starting a yoni/vaginal/pelvic massage practice for healing
- The gifts and transformation of embodying our pelvic space
