Taking Back Birth

We know that birth and sex are related, but how?! This is such a great chat with my friend Stacey, who is a Somatic Sex Educator, a doula, a homebirth mama and more.

To revise or not to revise? Tongue ties and newborns just go together, right? Is this condition over diagnosed, or not? And what are the reasons to revise or leave the baby’s mouth intact?

I’m all about women birthing in their power, so who’s telling who what they need or don’t need? In this podcast, I give a brief update on the ever-manifesting birth place/center that we’re working on (we’re calling it the Indie Birth Midwifery Institute) and then I launch into embellishing a recent Instagram post I did […]Click the icon below to listen.

In this podcast, I talk about creating the bubble of energy and vibration that feels important to me as the midwife when waiting on mama’s to birth. We end up separating ourselves in a way from “normal” life, much like a pregnant mama does at the end of her pregnancy. I’d love to hear your […]Click the icon below to listen.      

Margo and I get to chat about this complex topic, thanks to an Instagram comment recently and the fact that many/most people do not really understand the true value of a midwife. What is it, anyway? Is a midwife there to prevent death or to help enhance the woman’s experience? Maybe it’s all or none […]Click the icon below to listen.      

This is a question all women should be asking when interviewing a doula or midwife AND a question that all midwives and doulas should be asking when conducting consultations! Either way, this is an equal-opportunity relationship and the consultation is the most important first meeting that will determine which course a pregnancy and birth takes, […]Click the icon below to listen.

It’s been said that women get into birth work because they care about women, babies or birth; one usually more than the other!

After a brief update, I rant for a bit about the low standard that our world, and most women, seem to have for their pregnancy and birth experience. Whether it’s hospital based, home based or a dogmatic freebirth, it seems to me that women need to want more for themselves first. Otherwise, we just take […]Click the icon below to listen.
