I’m back here with the last podcast of 2024 to blab about a real nerd topic. Whether you’re the mom or the midwife or student, which is better, the doppler or the fetoscope? There is a lot of nuance here as always and things to consider; from the why and when to the subtleties of the relationships we are wanting to build. Listen to hear more! Also, I start the episode with a reflection on freedom and where I think this New Year may be leading me.

Sharing my honest process here and reminiscing about the first birth I ever attended alone, 17 years ago! My sister and my nephew gave me this honor (or rather, the Universe did) and I enjoyed reflecting on this story and the relative innocence. Can we regain innocence and a naive nature for something we know so deeply? Listen in and hear my thoughts and this story.

It’s been a weird month that feels both long and short! This is primarily a personal update and also a share about three things (I tried to keep it to 3!) that I came away with during my last intense somatic training. It does tie back to birth and birth work in many many ways and also is a start to educating more people about the way these teachings of the body can benefit YOU. I close with a quote I heard and what it means to me, and I know you will hear it and love it if you’re meant to!

Ah, this was so healing to share! I tell the story of having half my cervix taken many many years ago. The story defies what actually happened after (birthing 10 babies!) and I feel like it’s such a powerful testament to our bodies, beliefs and our Soul path.

Our bodies know how to heal and where to look is the unique journey.

I am so honored to have recorded this chat with my mentor and elder, Donna Maria. I began life studies with her over 4 years ago and this glimpse into her stories and life and perspective is only a fraction of her wisdom. Her way of seeing is what people NEED at this time, in order to evolve and become royalty walking on this earth. Her teachings about the sacred ceremonies of conception, pregnancy and birth are some of the highlights of our Sacred Birth program. If you are also feeling called to remember, this is for you.

I loved having this chat with another of our wisdom keepers from the Sacred Birth Certificate program. I love Felicia’s way of speaking about what sacred is, her varied experiences of serving women and a quick swerve into the blood mysteries and the wisdom of the womb. I think you will love this conversation and you can learn more from Felicia through our program which closes October 15.

Whew, it’s been a big week with so many realizations and new awareness. I share the biggest ones with you here, around the need for really resting the body INTERNALLY and seeing what fabulous things flow out of that. It’s been such a cool experience to see what those things are for me, and to learn more and be in better connection with my body.

Also, check out my new site where you can schedule sessions and other things. I am feeling so great about this direction and putting this out to the world.

In this new podcast, I talk with another of our wisdom keepers from our Sacred Birth Certificate program. Verena is an evolutionary astrologist and shares about her own creative spark and process. It won’t come as a surprise, but life imitates birth and birth is just one of the creative forces that may be available to us as women. The passion, mission and drive to “make things” is something Verena and I have in common, and I thoroughly love her and our chat.

I am so excited to feature one of our wisdom keepers from our Sacred Birth Certificate program. In this teaching, Jess shares her sacred miscarriage story. It was so nice to hold space for her and allow you to feel her amazing energy!

Learn more about Jessica here.

Jessica is a featured teacher for our Sacred Birth program. Details are here.

…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 because it all comes back to unraveling LIFE wisdom which informs birth wisdom. This is also the mission and purpose of our Sacred Birth program and if you’re in for a longer listen, I share the teachings of the music teachers that shaped me.

So grateful for them all, those that I mentioned and those I did not. I am so appreciative of all of my teachers (music and midwifery) and aware that these “wisdom teachers” have always been with me, through various paths in my life. Lastly, I’ve linked to one of my last recorded performances as a professional oboist if you’d like to take a listen!
