Taking Back Birth

Ah, packing up a house! I stumbled upon notebooks and journals, all from past (in person) midwifery events of the last 15 years. It was so fun reading through conference sessions I had attended, and I wanted to share some of the brilliant teaching highlights with you from masters like Michel Odent, Marsden Wagner, Gail […]

How do these two topics go together? They do! I want to share my perspective on MY reality of this virus thing and how ultimately, we need to choose each step of the way how we want to respond. Best way to do that? Get in touch with your own innate power and let your […]

This is NOT a new topic for […]

And also, a few brief book recommendations of things I pulled off my shelf that I have really liked reading over the years. Books mentioned: Surrender Experiment; Michael Singer […]

It’s here! The episode on how sleep looks in our house; from newborns to teenagers, to what I have learned over the years about all of it; plus some pro tips I hope are helpful!

I’ve been meaning to record this for a while but the timing is perfect because our own lives always get reflected in our midwifery work. In this podcast, I share my journey of spirituality from mindfulness to learning under a local shaman. I’m realizing more with each client and each experience that engaging in the […]

This monthly Q and A podcast wound up holding this theme of how we are in our power, and where we still need or want to claim it. But detail-wise, this podcast includes responses to questions about Pitocin, the newborn screen, intuition, marketing my midwifery business, the most impactful birth I’ve witnessed and many, many […]
