Ethos:

Recognizing birth as a rite of passage in a supportive, open-minded way

Birth is a heroic journey which requires accessing both modern and inner knowing. Taking time to explore your beliefs about birth, pain, motherhood, parenting, your fears, & beyond before labor deepens my ability to support you. Together we will embrace the unknown & your unique experience.

I view my relationship with you as a mentor because you know your body and journey best. My role is to help you access your inner and outer resources, offer suggestions along the way, & to be present.

I’m here to witness, support, and celebrate you in this transformational time of initiation.

Postpartum is the journey out of the labyrinth

Families require support in the postpartum period in order to thrive. This is a necessity not a luxury. The effects of this care ripple out into the community creating a more beautiful world.

My role is to set you up with resources, suggestions, & in-home support for a nourishing postpartum return. This can make all the difference for you and your family’s health, happiness, and ease of integration and transition into matrescence and the rituals of your new family.

We are not meant to do this alone.

Tending to your birth story

1 in 3 women report experiencing birth trauma. Birth Story Medicine® understands that birth stories benefit from gentle tending from an open-minded, compassionate listener to gain a new understanding & a path forward.

While we cannot change the events that unfolded, we can change the meaning and beliefs we take from our birth experience. You are the author of your birth story.
