Rene and Paige mean the world to me. I wouldn’t have been able to start Full Moon without their help. Rene volunteered his time and expertise in creating my website and they offered countless photos and endless support. Rene left behind 5 loving sons, please donate to ease the burden of his passing.

*Urgent Action Alert*

Take Action on International Day of the Midwife:
Demand a CA independent Licensed Midwifery board.

ACOG is lobbying to limit Licensed Midwifery's scope of care as a condition of LM independence, including restricting VBAC access. Community midwives deserve to have an independent board of peers and consumers overseeing their own profession without paternalistic restrictions by ACOG.

Birthing families won't stand for ACOG's continued threats to birth autonomy nor for unnecessary physician oversight over our midwives.

Please call in during public comment for the Assembly B&P committee hearing tomorrow morning, 5/5/2021, to keep ACOG and its millions in special interest lobbying money from derailing the Medical Board’s recommendation for the creation of an independent Licensed Midwifery board.

Simply state: “I am calling in to support adding language for a Licensed Midwife Board to be included in the Medical Board of California Sunset Review bill.”

Sign up here for email prompt when public comment opens: https://calmidwives.org/midwife4metoo2021/.

Help get our midwives out from under ACOG control, and prevent further erosion of community birth and VBAC!

Happy Birthday Little One, we all thought you would be tiny, but you weight in just over 7lbs! Your mama was brave and strong and made your birth look easy.

Welcome to the family sweet boy. You complete them.

I’ve been incredibly busy helping people birth their babies and I haven’t taken the time to document them here, like I want to. But I can’t resist tonight. I am in absolute awe of the power I witnessed with a first time mama with a two hour labor who describes her labor as “intense, but I wouldn’t call it painful”. Not everyone gets to experience a pain free birth, myself included, but I’m here to say ITS POSSIBLE

I love when a family, at the last minute, chooses to find a provider that more closely fits their needs, and it’s me. We at least got to squeeze in one prenatal visit. Welcome baby girl, we’re so glad to meet you.
