village birthworker
& herbalist
I have seen and experienced the challenge of integrating a new belief, an initiation, a soul part, a ceremony, a course and a healing. Our blended and fractured lives and relationships cannot always protect the tender nature of our processes, healing, expansion and development. All of this makes it more important than ever to choose our practitioners, teachers and communities wisely. We each deserve a container in which our wholeness can be reflected and protected.
I am so grateful for all the medicines I carry and my training in “holding space” and yet my trust in a person’s capacity to reorganize in the right environment (practitioner, family/community presence, physical health, environmental safety and wellness) is beyond what any certification, tool or practice can do alone. Much of what I have learned and now share is applied by creating an environment where a natural process can unfold, and each woman can be more “organized” with truth.
