Where you choose to give birth and who you choose into your birth space will arguably be the biggest decision you make during your pregnancy. Homebirth, Birth center, Hospital? Midwife or doctor?

Consider your life story. There may be experiences you have had in your past that limit your ability to have trust in the current medical model of care. You may have a history of trauma and feel safest in your own home. You may have a strong understanding or belief in physiologic birth and desire more autonomy for your birthing time. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story. There may be experiences you have had in your past or medical conditions that make it safer for you to deliver with access to a medical team and support. You may have a history of trauma and struggle to connect with your body.

You may want access to pain medication. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story.

You may feel safe knowing medical care is not too far away. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

Consider your life story and particular circumstance. There may be experiences and situations that come up that are outside your control. Educating yourself about the options available to you is the first step toward claiming responsibility for your birth experience.

When I began birthwork over a decade ago, no one told me of its hidden costs or how important boundaries would be. That there would be missed holidays, Birthdays, gatherings with family and friends. No one explained what it meant to be oncall and how important it would be to take time off, to set your calendar a year in advance; or how hard it would be as a business owner to stick to that time off and trust the ebb and flow of clients during slow seasons. I didn’t know or recognize that pouring myself into my clients would only get me so far, and how I needed to value myself and my own needs, taking care of myself so I could better show up for others. No one talked about the losses and the second hand trauma and how important it would be to have a therapist and other birth workers to process with and lean on. No one talked about the extremely physical aspects of the work and how important regular bodywork would become to my rhythm.

The hard truth is, there are seasons to this work…this amazing, challenging & beautiful work. Aside from being a mom, this work has demanded more of me than anything else I have ever done. Within it, I have found endless opportunity for self growth and connection.

FOR ALL THOSE BIRTHWORKERS OUT THERE WHO ARE JUST STARTING OUT OR ARE HITTING THEIR CAPACITY. BURNOUT IS REAL AND GOING INTO THIS WORK WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN WILL HELP CREATE A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR THE YEARS TO COME. SO, I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME HELPFUL STRATEGIES AS YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS WORK BECAUSE THE BIRTH WORLD NEEDS YOU MORE THAN EVER.

Postpartum is not a time to “bounce back.” It’s a time to return to yourself.

The first weeks after birth are a threshold — tender, raw, powerful, ancestral.

Yet many new parents feel overwhelmed, underprepared, and disconnected from the support they truly need.

Somatic grounding tools for emotional + nervous system support
Holistic healing practices for the physical body
Rituals that nurture rest, softness, and slow living
Support for bonding and postpartum transitions
Guidance on nourishment, recovery, and rebuilding inner strength

Care
Community
Rest
Ritual
Reconnection

A slower, more intentional postpartum experience

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.
The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires ... causes proper matters to catch fire.
To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these
— to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.
Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do”

Mothers

There are mothers.
There are birthmothers.
And there are stepmothers.
There are adoptive mothers
and there are soul mothers.
There are real life mothers
and there are heavenly mothers.
There are deceased mothers and mothers alive.
There are mothers of darkness and mothers of light.
And there are mothers of Heavens and of Earth.
There are mother goddesses and the holy womb.
There are angelic mothers of saints and The mother of God.
There are always mothers.
Mothers upon mothers upon mothers.
Earthly mothers.
Holy mothers.
I am told they are all in me.
It takes a while to see.
But in a luminous moment I do.

The Labyrinth of Life

Today, if you’re confronting an issue for the ten thousandth time, or feeling that your life is going nowhere, or panicking over how little you’ve achieved, stop and breathe.
You’re not falling behind on some linear race through time. You’re walking the labyrinth of life.
Yes, you’re meant to move forward, but almost never in a straight line.
Yes, there’s an element of achievement, of beginning and ending, but those are minor compared to the element of being here now.
In the moments you stop trying to conquer the labyrinth of life and simply inhabit it, you’ll realize it was designed to hold you safe as you explore what feels dangerous.
You’ll see that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, meandering along a crooked path that is meant to lead you not onward, but inward.

Traditional Pregnancy Tea

This traditional pregnancy tea is rich with dark, leafy herbs like Red Raspberry Leaf, Nettle and Alfalfa. Lemon balm and rose hips lighten the inky brew with their bright flavor.
Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 10 mins
Servings: 28 servings Calories: 2kcal
Ingredients
• 2 ounces nettle leaf
• 2 ounces raspberry leaf
• 1 ounce oatstraw
• 1 ounce alfalfa leaf
• 1/2 ounce lemon balm
• 1/2 ounce rose hips
• 1/2 ounce rose buds
Instructions
• Stir all the herbs together in a large mixing bowl so that they’re evenly distributed. Set a wide-mouth funnel into the lip of a jar and spoon the mixed herbs into the jar. Cap tightly and store out of the sun.
• Bring about a quart of water to a boil, and then spoon a heaping quarter-cup (about 1/4 ounce) of your mixed herbs into a quart-sized jar. Cover with boiling water, cap, and let them steep overnight - about 8 hours. Strain out the herbs, and enjoy the tea.

Notes
Among the midwives who recommend pregnancy teas, like this one, most recommend about two cups a day during the second trimester and up to a quart a day in the third trimester. Reach out to your care provider to determine what is the right amount for you.
