I will never take for granted the responsibility of serving on the Idaho Board of Nursing. This role is an historic appointment and what I am witnessing becoming a permanent turning point for modern midwifery in Idaho. Today I had the opportunity to help appoint a representative from the Board of Nursing to serve on the Idaho EMS Advisory Committee. And I made sure that both our Executive Officer and the newly appointed representative knew just how important it was to include midwifery in their priorities on this committee! In a state where out-of-hospital birth is the norm, we should certainly be implementing evidence-based systems to ensure any EMS transfers go better and smoother for families and the midwives who guard the very lives of the mother-baby.
When I was seated this morning, I quickly realized that someone had decorated my desk with Lego succulents. Only my spot. It was the nurse who, prior to nursing and midwifery being merged, was most opposed to the idea. No longer. So I share this photo and hope that any Idaho midwife who sees it, will see the Lego succulents and know that we as midwives are seen, loved, supported, respected, and heard within the Board of Nursing. I am so blessed to further this calling and good work with their support. And nurses, you have the most amazing humans representing you!

How lucky we are to have a birth community where physicians will attend a clinical rotation with us to learn about midwifery care! My origin story with Dr. Ray is so important to me to be transparent about - because I took her out in the hospital hallway last summer to go head to head, and we entered back into the patient’s space, arm in arm, with patient needs as the *only* priority. I own the spiciness I approached her with that night, and all it took was her sharing one small thing about her day, that immediately shifted my heart. We had been on the same page all along - the patient’s page. The theme I have seen repeated recently has been 1 - hesitancy/guarding of the heart, 2 - intentional vulnerability, and 3 - the discovery of hearts pointed in the same direction. This has extended into so many aspects of my professional encounters, so I’m sharing this and encouraging you to lean in - in your own lives, whenever you get the chance, whatever the context.
I found a quote that so perfectly captures why Dr. Ray taking time to attend clinic with us, matters so much:
“Our similarities bring us to a common ground; Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other.”
- Tom Robbins
Dr. Ray, I am fascinated and inspired by you. Thank you for practicing in a way that is worthy of sharing and observing the space and encounters of Sage families. Though we never hope to see you in care, the care is made better when you are part of it! Thank you for serving our community so well and for the flame of honoring the homebirth world, that you have made space for in your heart. 🕯️ We see it shining.

🌿Two Sage Babies💔🌿

Wait for it……
Congratulations to our amazing student midwife, Samantha, on completing her very first continuity of care. This essentially means seeing a mother for all of care, including fulfilling a primary role under supervision with distinct competency and proficiency, plus comprehensive care of the newborn.
This sweet mama has now trusted me with her care thrice and I loved watching her relationship with Samantha grow and develop and enhance her experience. We love her and will miss her so much!

“The placenta is the mecca and mirror of the mother’s health. There are no two alike, not even from the same mother of twins. Even a desperately deprived mother will often grow a substantial placenta—nature’s way of caring for the next generation. Placentas are literally bathing in a blood bath of seeping pools between the world of mother and baby. Women are truly “those who bleed and do not die.”“

I began offering this retreat annually, ten years ago, after losing my own baby. Last year’s retreat was pivotal and carried so many of us through another year of continuing to move forward with our grief. Opportunities to meet with other bereaved mothers, share stories, and speak your baby’s name can be few and far between. Healthy grieving matters!
The retreat will include:
- participation in the worldwide Wave of Light ceremony
- the opportunity to share your story and/or listen to the stories of others
- a group workshop activity
- professionally-guided breath work, movement, and meditation
- a bracelet circle
This retreat is open to bereaved parents and all types of birth workers/providers, with priority seating reserved for the mothers. Feel free to share with any bereaved friends and clients. Half of the available seating has already filled and RSVP is required. A wait-list will be available, too!
Looking forward to this special evening!
With love,
Katy
