Embodied Beginnings

Friends! My next online Birth Trauma Healing Series begins April 2nd. This is a healing balm for parents to make sense of challenging births (and the medicalized realms of birth) can be. In this small group series parents will have an opportunity to:
*Heal challenging and deeply impactful birth and perinatal experiences
*Learn how to stay connected to health and resilience in upcoming birthing experiences
*Learn simple techniques to calm the nervous system
*Experience a safe and nourishing space for healing together in community.

Midwifery Today needs your help so we can continue to help others become midwives or doulas, provide worldwide birth education, and lead more women to have better births.
We previously relied on coordinating conferences for most of our operating costs, but the two-year hiatus—because of the pandemic—has left us over $20,000 in debt. We have no way to repay this debt and keep providing services to the world of birth. Our small, dedicated staff has continued to find ways to become more efficient while tightening our belts, but it has not been enough.
You can help us by buying our products or services, or by making a donation.

If the Supreme Court decides to gut Roe v. Wade, the consequences of outlawing abortion are deadly. I have had an abortion. I bet you have too, or someone close to you, or someone you got pregnant. Abortion is not something chosen lightly. Because of this, it needs to be protected. There is so much more I could say.

Every day I support women in reproductive trauma healing all around the world, often where women weren't taken care of and protected in the way that they deserved to be. I am pro-choice and I am pro-life. I love life and I love babies and I know with every cell in my being, that when a woman decides to have an abortion, it is the absolute right decision for her, her circumstances, and her family. And that there is a man involved - and we all know if men could have babies abortion rights would not be at stake. As a midwife and healer I also believe that the more access a woman has, the more conscious and healing the abortion can be. There can be a conscious connection to that spirit, and a conscious releasing too. And with more access and support a conscious decision can be made.

I could keep writing, and the deal is that time is running out. Women are at risk. We need to act with our hearts, minds, voices, and money. And if you have more ideas how to ensure reproductive freedom and abortion rights at this time please let me know.

I just donated to Planned Parenthood - I am challenging you, all of my friends, and your partners too, to donate to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, or the Lilith Fund and let me know when you have done it!

I donate so that anyone from any state can come to Planned Parenthood's health centers for abortion care if they’re not able to access safe abortion care where they live.

I donated today to Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Will you join me in supporting local health care?

I will be one of the panelists if you have time to tune in in just a few moments and are a parent/work with parents!
