Wonders of Third Stage Labor: The Placenta by Jane Beal
My instinct to recognize the beauty and the sacred nature of the placenta is not unusual in other cultures. Our hospital systems often dispose of the placentas as “medical waste,” or recycle them for “medical research,” sometimes with (and sometimes without) parental permission. However, other cultures treat the placenta with a certain amount of reverence. Cross-cultural traditions of burying the placenta under a tree with some ceremony is one example of reverence for the placenta

Kneeling before the Elders by Sister MorningStar
Doña Hermila was famous for her knowledge and application of natural herbs. She traveled throughout her country teaching. Health agencies, including branches of the World Health Organization (WHO), often recorded her. She was a legend among her people. She arrived one night to an international convention where many aspiring non-Mexican midwives hustled to greet her. Her son carried a truckload of large bags filled with wild herbs, which were to be her teaching material for the week. Students of many disciplines and countries gathered around in awe to ask her questions and permission to pose with her for a picture. It was well past dark; they had traveled a long day to reach the city.

In-home Care by Jill Cohen
What exactly is in-home care? In-home care involves going to the home of each individual you care for, equipped with all you need to provide that care. In-home care means that ou are now the guest in that home, an attitude that creates a non-clinical dynamic. This attitude of care makes you a friend and ally which puts the family in control.

These beautiful items can do more than hold your hair back. Use the headband to hold cold cloths onto a client’s head. The bandana can be a baby weighing scarf or a washcloth. And the scrunchy makes a cute twin ankle identifier. Order several and come up with your own ideas!
