A FREE, LIVE, ONLINE CLASS taught by Maria Maldonado: The Art of Self-Directed Birth Care: Bridging the Divide in Birth Paths. on February 26, 2026, 10:00 AM Bogotá time (EST Time).

She is an Assistant Teacher with INNATE Postpartum Care. Maria is leading the next wave of consciousness relative to BIRTH; as WE relate to birth as humans in general, and specifically as care providers.

Maria's upcoming FREE CLASS is dedicated to:

Bridging divided birth paths (moving beyond home birth vs freebirth vs hospital birth to truly orient to our needs and desires)
Reviving and reimagining living birth arts (connecting with birth arts as the creative processes that move with us through the perinatal portal)
Strengthening our capacity to respond with clarity and consent (exactly that)
Rooting birth in elemental awareness (connecting with our elemental guardians and remembering ourselves as extensions of raw natural power)
Reweaving an integrated culture of birth (I feel like we’re all yearning for it)

Moving beyond polarized birth paths and rooting into clarity, consent, and elemental awareness in the perinatal portal - is the point, the intention of The Art of Self-Directed Birth Care: Bridging the Divide in Birth Paths. This space is for mothers, mothers-to-be, and birth practitioners who recognize the importance of reweaving the knowledge of how to guard birth back into the fabric of the family/community.

“The routine use of ultrasound for the assessment of labor progression is feasible, can reduce the needed number of invasive digital vaginal examinations, and, consequently, is associated with lower rates of intrapartum fever and chorioamnionitis.”
Ultrasound has been around for a long time.
Given that
👎Many women find vaginal exams unpleasant or traumatic
👎There is a well-known risk of introducing infections
👎There is a lack of evidence that they improve outcomes
This research begs the questions:
❓Why wasn’t it done earlier?
⁉️Why does anyone still do vaginal exams in labour?
Tell me why...

PROGRAMAJÁNLÓ: előadás a tudatos gyermekvállalás és a fogantatás–várandósság testi-lelki-mentális egyensúlya témájában.

Ez most nem egy „felkészítő” a szó klasszikus értelmében, inkább egy megtartó tér: arról, hogyan lehet megérkezve, biztonságban, ráhagyatkozva jelen lenni ebben az érzékeny időszakban. Őszintén, tabuk nélkül beszélünk róla és gyakorlati tapasztalati úton mutatunk meg fontos dolgokat.

Rhyme time! Great poetry for sleep-deprived parents, by a sleep-deprived parent.
Meet Harry Baker. I often come across his work while scrolling through social media and I love his poetry.

Not All Culture is LIFE AFFIRMING
byRachelle Seliga

Dear ones,

Not all culture is Life Affirming. Not all culture is Life-Giving.

It doesn't matter if the culture has existed and persisted for hundreds or thousands of years. Not all culture is Life-Giving.

CULTURE is: the beliefs, customs, values, knowledge, behavior, practices of a particular group of people, in a particular place or time - that depends on the transmission of knowledge to succeeding generations.

At this time on the Planet - a lot of the "CULTURE" around child rearing and raising, is life-denigrating.

People say: "I do it this way, because my parents did it this way." Or "It's just how our family does it." Or "It's what my culture has taught me." BUT - Not all culture is Life-Giving.
"We hold on to old thinking, out of reverence for our culture, to the detriment of our children." -AKILAH of Fare of the Freechild
What makes a culture life-giving is: If it is contributing to wellness of the people and the planet.

This is the lens we can look through to determine: Is culture Life-Giving or is it Life - Destroying? Is it contributing to wellness of the whole? Or is it diminishing the wellness of the whole?

For me I always turn to our Physiologic Design as humans - because I understand that our physiologic design IS our Divine Design, IS our "original instruction" as humankind to live in wellness upon Earth. When we understand our Physiologic Design and honor it in action, our Physiologic Design is our unifying CULTURE as humankind.

Physiologic Baby Care Course focuses on the physiologic design of our babies and young children ages 0-3 years old, so that we can understand in our MINDS what we already know to be true in our HEARTS; so that we can move forward in our parenting, in our adulting with confidence. When we raise our children in health and wellness so that they can thrive - through their thriving our children contribute to the health and wellness of the whole.

THAT is a Living Culture. Living Culture serves thriving life of the individual AND of the whole.

I invite you to join me for this year's only Physiologic Baby Care Course, and an incredible global community of adults committed to this Path!

Early-bird registration closes TOMORROW, February 1st at 12midnight PT! Class begins February 13th!
Class meets LIVE, ONLINE, through zoom. Fridays at 12 pm noon PST (3 pm EST / New York time)
Classes are approximately 2 hours long.
Time is allotted during each class for questions & answers.
All classes will be recorded for those who can not make the class live, and stored in our online classroom.
We have a private, online community forum through Mighty Networks.
Three group mentorship calls are offered during our time together.

Then, while practicing that with your partner, take an appointment with your doula to discuss the other aspects of labour, like preparing:

Your Birth Preferences (Birth Plan): Discussing where you want to labor, your wishes for pain management, and your preferences for medical interventions and immediate postpartum care.

Physical Comfort Measures: Practicing other hands-on techniques, such as massage, counter-pressure, and optimal laboring positions that work best for you.

Emotional and Mental Readiness: Processing any fears, anxieties, or expectations you have, and building confidence in your ability to give birth.

Advocacy and Communication: Strategizing how to clearly communicate your needs and preferences to the hospital staff and ensuring your voice is heard throughout the process.

Partner Support Techniques: Reviewing your partner's specific role—beyond breathing—including when to offer encouragement, when to step in for a rest, and how to best support you physically.

This comprehensive discussion with your doula will ensure you and your partner are prepared for all facets of the experience.

There’s a term in child development circles called The Father Effect.

It refers to the lifelong benefits for children who grow up with an engaged, present, loving father.

We’re talking about real outcomes here:

Higher IQs and stronger language development
Fewer behavioral and psychological struggles
Better friendships, deeper emotional security
Stronger boundaries and a clearer sense of self
More stable future relationships
Lower risk of addiction, crime, and depression
It’s not a theory. It’s measurable. It has been studied across cultures, communities, and generations. And you know where it starts? Postpartum.

That wild, sleepless, beautiful, disorienting time when everything is raw and real and there’s no room to fake it That’s the moment when a father becomes either a ghost, or an anchor.︎

When a man is handed a child and isn’t just told “be helpful,” but is given clear, sacred responsibility—something changes in him:
He slows down.
He begins to notice.
He learns to hold his partner through the blood and tears and milk and magic.
He becomes a man who can attune.
He becomes a Father.

When a father really shows up in postpartum, he doesn’t just support his partner. He builds the foundation of his child’s entire inner world.

What No One Tells You About Postpartum...

If you don't know that you don't know something, how can you go in search of it?

YOU CANNOT.

We can only go in search of: That which we KNOW we don't know.

Hence the conundrum of the postpartum time in the modern day world. Most pregnant families don't know that they don't know - when it comes to the postpartum time (planning for the postpartum time and RECEIVING postpartum care).

Here's my free advertising moment, I am not getting paid for that, it is only that I admire Rachelle Garcia Seliga's work:
What No One Tells You About Postpartum—Until It’s Too Late
A FREE, live, online class for expecting Moms and Dads
This Friday, September 19th at 9:30am Pacific / 12:30pm Eastern

Ask any parent who’s been through it: Birth is intense. AND - even when birth is intense and long, at most, it lasts a few days.

But what happens AFTER birth, truly reshapes your life, for life.

Sleep disappears. Roles shift. Emotions flood.
And suddenly, the center of your world needs round-the-clock care—while you’re recovering from the biggest change of your life.

Postpartum is a wild, sacred, and misunderstood chapter. Most new parents walk in completely blind. The free class pulls back the curtain.

We’ll share about:
What actually happens after birth— physically, emotionally, relationally

The 5 things most families wish they’d known beforehand
Why dads are the hidden key to postpartum sanity and success
And what a real, loving postpartum looks and feels like

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a wake-up call—and a map.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or already walking this path, come learn what no one told us… and walk into the fourth trimester with your eyes wide open.

You can get this information now online, and if I am your doula we will also have this discussion. Postpartum is better prepared.
