PREGNANCY & BIRTH

Supporting mamas and birthing people has always been my deep calling. The journey of pregnancy and birth is one of the most profound and powerful experiences of a woman's life, and I love providing support, education, and encouragement for mamas and birthing people. Because we longer live in close geographic and multigenerational villages, which traditionally provided all of the physical and emotional support a woman would need, I am passionate about cultivating community and care for women as they navigate this amazing rite-of-passage.

FEAR RELEASE WORKSHOP

Pregnancy can be a time of joy and wonder as we prepare for the arrival of our baby, but it can also be a time of uncertainty and fear. Mothers may feel alone in their doubt and insecurity if they are not supported by community and given the opportunity to process their emotions. 
In this one-day workshop, pregnant people are invited to be held with compassion and tenderness as they explore and release their fears through art-making, guided meditation, talking circle, breathwork, and affirmations.  
The day will also include a discussion of the importance of self-care in the absence of a village, and opportunities to receive nurturing through hands-on bodywork and nourishing food.

MOTHER NURTURE RETREAT

Nurturing the nurturer during pregnancy and after birth is a traditional women's practice in many world cultures. With intention and care, mothers were historically provided support and nourishment by their village to ensure their well-being, and the well-being of their babies. 
Most of us no longer have the opportunity to experience this level of care as we ourselves nurture our babies, but indeed we still need it. ​We are not meant to do this alone, but instead were meant to be held by others during our journey.
The Mother Nurture retreat is an opportunity to receive the care and attention we all deserve. A day of rest and nourishment focusing on your needs, the retreat  offers delicious food, restorative bodywork, affirming meditation, and a talking circle.
