Hi friends! It’s me, Micaela “Mickey” McHenry. The woman behind Sage & Rebozos. It’s been quite some time. You may have noticed I scrubbed my profile and stopped taking clients. I took a break from my “business” as I focused on my own fertility, conscious conception, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, another pregnancy, labor & birth, and now postpartum.

I’d like to start hosting virtual offerings again via BirthBruja but I’d like to gauge interest in what you all are hoping to see from me/us. I already have some specific offerings planned out but I’m very curious what the birthwork community is feeling like they need at this time. I’m going to give a refresher of my background for those of you that are new here or are not familiar with my work.

I am a Full Spectrum Indigenous Doula (Lakota, Apache & Mexika) and while I will happily assist with all aspects of reproductive care postpartum is my jam!

Birthy Stuff — I have extended knowledge in both ge***al and cesarean birth physical recovery, exercise in pregnancy & postpartum, foods, teas & herbs for pregnancy & postpartum, bodyfeeding, newborn care, babywearing, bedsharing, perinatal mood disorders, reproductive justice, abortion & miscarriage support, bodywork, vaginal steaming, supporting survivors of sexual assault, and birth trauma support.

Bruja Stuff — I enjoy assisting in ancestral mending and reclamation; this is for you to work with your own lineages and not for you to learn mine. I provide limpias for body and space, guidance for altar building, peer support in healing Mother Wounds, guided meditation, and foods & herbs for healing.

Let me know what is speaking to you and I’ll see what I can do about coming up with abundant offerings for y’all.

Wishing you all ease this evening. 💗✨

DESCRIPTION
This offering centers culturally connected baby carrying (also known as “babywearing”) as its framework and is for people who teach others and who are committed to integrating as many justice-oriented values as we can when doing so.

Part 1:
We will explore a variety of strategies for communicating information & skills crucial for baby carrying.

Strategies include:
✨Deepening our understanding of power dynamics, oppressions, and opportunities to integrate transformative justice into our work.
✨Inclusive & effective language that makes room for identity, past experiences of trauma, family configurations and more.
✨A brief exploration of managing expectations and considering the sensory experiences of those you are helping
✨Working to remove (or at least acknowledge) oppressive rationales and terms
✨Improving our responsiveness to a broader array of neurotypes and cultural experiences
✨Affirming people’s selves in as much complexity as possible, cultural reclamation, and more.

Part 2:
✨This session will be devoted to modeling & integrating the skills & strategies presented in part one.

Full and half scholarships are available.
