Mother Nourish Postpartum

08/30/2025

Another year. ❤️

I’ll admit, I’ve always felt a little out of my time.

Not in body,
but in spirit.

Like I’ve wandered through other lives
and brought pieces of them here.

Here’s to the years behind,
the ones ahead,
and the quiet knowing in between. ☀️

Reminder to let people love what their soft animal body loves, including those overjoyed about the Swiftie engagement. 😉

Pictured is the poem I read at the first annual Palouse Mother’s Retreat. It was first read to me at a retreat by .maria.smith . 💕

A gentle reminder that we don’t have to be good, perfect, or love what the world loves (or you can 💍 😘). Instead to remain true to our wants, loves, and desires. No shame. No performance. Just being. We are all a part of the tapestry of nature.

Kind words from a long time circle attendee. ❤️

The Palouse Mother’s Circle is rolling into its 3rd year and I have nothing but gratitude for the nourishment and transformation that has taken place in this sweet community.

This year we are moving to the cozy, historic and I can’t wait to set up this beautiful space for you all.

Palouse area moms: put these dates on your calendar! 🗓️

After a summer break, the highly praised Palouse Mother’s Circle will be resuming in September. 🎉

This year we have the wonderful problem of outgrowing our space and will now be meeting at the cozy, historic in Moscow.

We still share a nourishing brunch, heart felt conversation, and real connection in circle.

Whether you’re in the tender early days of new motherhood or navigating the ever-evolving journey of raising older children, this space is for YOU.

Do you need a break? Is that even a question? 🤪♥️

I am hosting a weekend mother’s retreat this August 15-17th in Cheney, WA and there are still a couple spots left!

All single rooms are claimed but we still have one more hide-a-bed in a spacious basement that will be shared with 1-2 other women (slumber party). As well as a large, fluffy sectional if someone doesn’t mind a more flexible sleeping arrangement.

Alternatively, there are a couple day passes open for Saturday, August 16th. A handful are coming up for just the day!

The retreat will include:
-A nourishing weekend with fellow moms to witness each other in our shared motherhood and have fun together!
-Overnight lodging or day pass options.
-All meals—breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks/dessert, and tea/coffee/bubble water.
-All activities— time spent in nature (2 lakes nearby and house is on private property), time spent on circle + ceremony, time making things with your hands, and time to just hang out and relax.
-A gift bag with special treats.

Non-mobile babies are welcome for the day on a case by case basis. The Airbnb is not child proof and we want this to primarly be a space just for moms. ♥️

I’ve been learning more about birth imprints and memories in the womb lately.

At the same time my youngest son, age 3.5, has been talking extra with me about when he was born and his time in “mommy’s belly.”

Sometimes it’s telling me about how he used to play monster trucks in my womb. 🤪 However, sometimes he says things that cause me to pause and even write them down.

Yesterday, during breakfast, he told me, “When I was born my heart came out and I dropped it back in.”

I don’t know why but I spent all day thinking about what that meant. Maybe it had no meaning and was just toddler musings, but maybe it did.

When pen met the paper, this is what came toward. ♥️

P.S. I often only share my writing with friends or instagram story “close friends.” Feels a little vulnerable but here we are.

What a gift it is to sit in circle and witness other mother’s birth stories. ❤️

The practice of deep and reflective listening is something I use with clients and those who join me in circle.

More often than not, women just want to be witnessed and heard. They do not need fixed. For they are not broken.

While there is certainly a time and necessity for advice and physical support, starting in a space where a mother feels heard and is able to voice her inner wisdom is the path I try to follow.

Holding a container where one can share and be heard, with love, is a potent kind of medicine. ❤️

I am excited to start the Palouse Mother’s Circle back up with a birth story sharing circle!

This will be space to gather as mothers and share in a safe and loving container. It’s a place to be witnessed and held in your unique story as there are many different ways to become a mother and give birth.  

In village communities women would often sit together and share their stories. As a result, they would often go into birth with less fear, as well as be witnessed in their challenges. I would love to bring the essence of this old practice to our area. 

This circle will be on Saturday, November 9th from 9:30-11:30am at The Nest Birth & Wellness birth center in Moscow (424 S Jefferson-behind the Uma Center). A nourishing brunch and tea will be provided.

I am capping this container at 8 mothers in order to have an intimate group that allows space for everyone to share.

The investment for circle is $25. If cost is an issue, please reach out to me and we can talk about a sliding scale. I am always open to and love trades to supplement or completely cover cost (eggs, meat, sourdough, bodywork, etc). Please contact me to discuss. ❤️

Lastly, I will be offering traditional postpartum bodywork for those interested after the circle at a discounted rate. I will have room for 3-4 women to choose from yoni/womb steaming or moxibustion womb warming. My hope is that this can serve as care and healing for women who did not receive postpartum care and would like to later on (because postpartum is forever). As well as women who could use continued care and healing. Reach out to reserve your spot!
