Two weeks in Finland with my husband was exactly what my soul needed. We stayed with my college friend in Tampere, surrounded by endless green, daily saunas, icy lake plunges, hikes , foraging and eating great food with great company. Thanks to him, we got a glimpse of everyday Finnish life—peaceful, simple, and so grounding.
It had been 2 years since our last big trip to Costa Rica and I realized we always end up chasing nature, hot springs, or saunas wherever we go.
While I was boarding in Frankfurt on the way home, one of my clients went into early labor. By the time I landed at LAX, contractions were 5–6 minutes apart! 😅 I rushed home, dropped my bags, and went straight to her home—just in time to witness a beautiful home birth, I couldn’t thank more to my client and the baby for waiting for me🙏🏽
Grateful for this life, the balance of self care and the intensity of being a midwife. Somehow, it always works out in the end.
夫と2週間のフィンランド旅行へ。大学時代の友人の家に滞在し、緑いっぱいの自然の中で、毎日のようにサウナと湖への冷水ダイブ、ハイキングと美味しい食べ物と友達との時間を楽しみました。おかげで、静かで穏やかなフィンランドの日常を体験することができました。
前回の大きな旅（コスタリカ)から2年。振り返ると、私たちはいつも自然と温泉やサウナを求めて旅している気がします。
そして帰り道のフランクフルトでの乗り継ぎの時にクライアントから「前駆陣痛と少量の出血があった」と連絡が。ロサンゼルスに着いた頃には、すでに陣痛が5〜6分間隔に！いそいで家に荷物をドロップして、彼女の元へ駆けつけ、無事に美しい自宅出産に立ち会うことができました💕
助産師の人生はいつも予想できないばかりですが、なんだかんだ最終的にはなるようになる。私が戻るまで待っていてくれたクライアントと赤ちゃんに本当に感謝！

Hi beautiful people! I’m planning to do another walking & picnic group in July. I know it’s hard to be on time when you’re pregnant or with a baby but I decided to wait only for 15 min to start walking because generally babies hates being still they need to get going! If you think you’ll be late, you can wait at the parking lot for us to be back or go ahead and wait at the grass area of Culver Park next to the playground. Please DM me or email me if you want to join so I know who’s coming! Looking forward to see you all!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

It was a perfect day for the walk and picnic today! We got to walk up half way to the overlook and got tons of vitamin D from the sun. Babies played on blankets and a toddler played at the playground🧡 Next one will be in July!

I was connecting some of my clients to be friends and thought it will be fun to hang out and walk so everyone can meet and get some steps! Pregnant or postpartum, everyone can join🌼 DM me to register.

Yoko Akatsuka, a midwife who owns a birth center in Gifu, Japan visiting LA came to see us at Kindred Space LA. She has 35 years of experience as a midwife and her birth center is celebrating 20 year anniversary this year. Helped bring close to 1000 babies to this world! There was a birth going on yesterday but they came right after birth which was perfect! We talked how we shared similar struggles and problems. Pregnancy and births are so universal! I met her 6 years ago when she visited LA when I was only a first year midwifery student. It was so inspiring to meet her again after becoming a midwife myself. I was gifted a lot of books about Japanese midwifery and stories of midwife in old times, which I am super excited to read!!! I promised to come see her soon. Thank you Yoko-san!
6年前にまだ私が助産学生一年目の頃に、ロサンゼルスでお会いしたゆりかご助産院の赤塚庸子さんが再びロサンゼルスに来られていて、私が働くバースセンターを見学に来てくださいました。ちょうど昨日はお産があり終わった頃に来られて助産師のキムも交えて色々な話をしてやはり妊娠もお産も助産師であることも世界共通であること、助産種として立ち向かう課題や悩みも同じだと言うことがわかりました。35年の助産師歴、今年助産院の設立20周年の助産師の大先輩(取り上げた赤ちゃん1000人近く！すごい！)に、助産師になってからお会い出来たことも感慨深く、優しい言葉をかけて頂きとても勇気付けられました🙏🏼日本からの本(日本の助産師をテーマにした歴史小説や助産師のバイブル的な本など)をたくさんプレゼントして頂きました。読むのが楽しみです。次は私がゆりかご助産院を見学させていただくと言うお約束をしました。庸子さんありがとうございました🙏🏼💜
