In many ways, this event is ahead of its time. Societally, we feel SO FAR AWAY from meeting and honoring the complex needs of postpartum humans. But we sense that people are ready for this, that the collective energy is shifting, that we are waking up and starting to reclaim this all-too-often overlooked and misunderstood fourth trimester.

In case no one has ever told you this before—you have a postpartum story, it’s not the same as your birth story (though it does influence it), and it matters. It can either lay buried in our subconscious, silently calling the shots, or it can be lovingly teased to the surface, either way curiosity, compassion, and intention. Once it becomes conscious, you become a co-creator with that story. Instead of being a character written into a fixed plot, you become the author, with the ability to write a new ending.

I’ll be sharing more of my own postpartum journey in the coming days and weeks. Circle back for story time. In the meantime, get your spot at this interactive workshop reserved today (link in bio and stories).

Another beautiful Doula Tea, where we welcomed the Autumnal Equinox with community and connection. And even more than that, we showed up exactly as we were and found a sense of safety and belonging in that authenticity. We all took a turn sharing something we have harvested this year. “Slowing down”…”Starting a business”…”a new website”…”a garden”…”vibrant health”…

So now it’s your turn—share in the comments what YOU harvested this year.

I’ll never not be in awe of what humans go through to bring their babies here. Especially when it’s my very own niece who allowed me to support and witness her journey into motherhood. This little man in my arms came two weeks past his guess date, extending my trip to Oregon to three weeks, and then decided to make his arrival without the midwives! He was instead surrounded entirely by family—grandma playing catcher, auntie Ash on one side and great-auntie (me) at the other acting as assistants, and daddy supporting mommy at her head (and two cat-siblings checking in now and again!). May you continue drawing family to your side, little man, for all the big and small life events that come your way. We’re here for all of it! I feel so lucky to have witnessed your entry into the world.

Sometimes being a doula is the easiest job in the world.

I find myself awaiting the arrival of my niece’s first baby. And in the meantime, taking in the Portland skyline.

Take all the time you need, Little One.

After many years of training doulas, we’re pivoting yet again. Evolving actually. Weekend trainings are a great option for new doulas that are looking to dabble in birth work, maybe hoping to add a few clients here and there to their already established profession, or for those who aren’t seeking to build a career. But for those who want the whole shebang? You need more. The rates of dropout doulas after their trainings is astronomically high—this means MOST doulas who train aren’t even attempting to practice! Could this be because of fear, overwhelm, and feeling under equipped? Then, consider the rate of burnout amongst doulas in the first 1-3 years—we lose another huge swath of our population. If it takes nine months to grow a baby, we think it takes nine months to grow a doula.

Introducing our nine month apprenticeship, Sept-April, that includes the following:

—> FOUR weekend retreats (birth doula work, business and marketing, postpartum doula work, and mind-body tools)
—> Shadowing births
—> Business branding
—> Bi-weekly educational zooms
—> Online doula portal with downloadable forms
—> Continuous mentoring and community

Today was technically the last day to get our early bird discount, but we’re extending the deadline to the end of tomorrow! We haven’t done much advertising because, honestly, there’s already been a wave of applicants. But we still have a few spots open! Visit my website to learn more and fill out an application (link in stories). This cohort launches September 1st!

You get a lot of recommendations for birth books, usually non-fiction, informational, factual….but definitely none like these. I consider these the finest works of postpartum/early motherhood literature. And powerful companions! Rachel Yoder even references The Yellow Wallpaper in Nightbitch, so she knew what she was doing. Maybe reading them while you’re in the throes of pregnancy and postpartum isn’t recommended? But that’s your personal call. I’m the type that benefits from the hard truths even while I’m swimming in the hard truths—there’s profound validation and insight to be found there.

I’m downright obsessed and I’m dying to discuss them together with my birthy people. Who wants to do a two-part book club with me? Type “yellow bitch” and I’ll add you to the contact list if we can get enough interest!

In the meantime, you can listen to a podcast episode we covered in Birth Mystics about the Yellow Paper…but it does contain spoilers! (See link in my stories.)

Did you know that the biggest motivating factor for me to step into childbirth education was to help Survivors? I had no idea when I was giving birth that painful experiences from my past that were held in my body would be triggered during labor, birth, and postpartum. Even as I was being triggered I didn’t KNOW I was being triggered because I had no language for it. No book I’d read or class I’d taken had ever talked about. And this is remarkable considering that 1 out of 3 women have reported experiencing s*xual assault or abuse (and that’s only REPORTED). Not to mention, many women experience their first violation IN the birth experience itself. I am committed to advancing the culture of consent, trauma-support, and early education.

As part of this effort, I am proud and honored to be joining with the Survivor Sanctuary project that brings profound support to Survivors across the country. We are rolling out phase one with a patronicity drive. If we can get enough single donors, we will be able to create the art installment, bring a workshop to Utah, and sponsor participants for our full retreat (being held in beautiful Massachusetts).

Can you spare $1-5? Seriously. That’s all it takes. I hope you’ll show your support by clicking on the link 🔗 in stories.

A truly fascinating memoir of an Utah midwife, who I learned recently passed away from cancer. She not only takes you on her journey into birth work (including supporting polygamist wives in Hilldale and Colorado City) but also on her faith deconstruction. For many birth workers, we encounter so much raw feminine power and toxic patriarchal overreach that we find ourselves questioning certain religious precedents. That doesn’t always look like leaving one’s religion but I have found that it leads to a remarkable nuanced perspective that is so needed for us to do the work we do. Questioning the role medical authority is just step away from questioning patriarchal authority on a societal level.

Have you observed this? Have you experienced this? Are you in the midst of this? Read the book and let’s have a meaningful discussion about it!

Received a beautiful reiki and sound healing session with a former doula client and this was my view upon “waking up.”

I don’t live my life to make others proud of me.
Am I proud of myself?
Am I free to define my own happiness?
Am I willing to redefine what it means to be successful, even if it’s different from my family and ancestors?
Can I stand confidently in the life I’ve chosen?
Can I “return to sender” all those expectations and burdens thrust upon me that I didn’t ask for?

Yes. Oh, yes! A million times YES.
