Postpartum Miscarriage Support

July 21, 2025 • 43 mins
In offering my Miscarriage Mother to women all over, I’ve been witness to some key themes and feelings that may arise for women after a miscarriage. The time “after” means days, to months to years and I’ve also used my own experience to get familiar with what these beliefs and themes may be. I’m starting […]

July 10, 2025 • 49 mins
Here’s the Indie Birth ladies, once again creating a stir around labels and boxes and what we call things. It was so fun and beautiful to talk with my bestie, Margo, on this podcast about her new adventures in birth work. Tune in to hear about how she came to this, why, when and so […]

June 30, 2025 • 48 mins
My birthday happened this past weekend so I thought I’d recount my own birth story; with some rabbit holes and observations and reflections from life at this moment. Check out my Midwife Stories project (which starts August1) and my Miscarriage Mother support which is ongoing.

Midwife Stories

June 21, 2025 • 49 mins
I share a couple of stories with you here; one a birth story, one a surf story but both with great vibes and potential lessons for all of us. It is both very old and new to teach and share by storytelling; it is how wisdom and experience is passed on. I can’t wait to […]

Miscarriage Support – The Miscarriage Mother

June 8, 2025 • 47 mins
Death. Loss. Rebirth. I never thought I’d be in this space and place of offering miscarriage virtual support, but here it is. Miscarriage is not a place anyone wants to find themselves, but if you do, or someone you know does, the support is necessary and valuable. Holding space for women to go through this […]

The Honest Truth About Freebirth (Re-Release)

March 30, 2025 • 52 mins
Here’s my truth: I’ve personally experienced freebirth AND I’m in the role of midwife and I do not see those two things as mutually exclusive. However, I do have some thoughts/questions and maybe some wisdom to share around what I see the freebirth movement as. I want us all to question the good, the bad and […]

Leaving the Birth World

March 25, 2025 • 48 mins
I wrote an email this week addressing birth drama and how I am happy to have left the fake, social media “birth world” that exists. I know so many of you get it, and so I’d love you to listen and see what resonates. I do believe that together we can create something new, outside […]

The Bigger Picture of Birth

February 17, 2025 • 51 mins
I am feeling more clarity lately about what is next for me and Indie Birth. I am sharing here a bigger vision to teach the world about birth and wonder how that might impact our world at large. I know it will, and that it might take time, but this is what feels most aligned […]

Why Pregnancy is an Amazing Time to Learn to Be In Your Body

January 20, 2025 • 47 mins
There is no experience like growing a baby for deciding to feel the body and tuning into her! This is a slow process, with time and space and healing cannot be rushed. I share more about how I think this work can benefit pregnant women and mamas specifically, so tune in and see what you […]

The Doppler Vs Fetoscope for Hearing the Baby’s Heartbeat

December 29, 2024 • 61 mins
I’m back here with the last podcast of 2024 to blab about a real nerd topic. Whether you’re the mom or the midwife or student, which is better, the doppler or the fetoscope? There is a lot of nuance here as always and things to consider; from the why and when to the subtleties of […]

Making Birth Beautiful Again

December 4, 2024 • 42 mins
Sharing my honest process here and reminiscing about the first birth I ever attended alone, 17 years ago! My sister and my nephew gave me this honor (or rather, the Universe did) and I enjoyed reflecting on this story and the relative innocence. Can we regain innocence and a naive nature for something we know […]

Sharing Some New Insights with You

November 15, 2024 • 52 mins
It’s been a weird month that feels both long and short! This is primarily a personal update and also a share about three things (I tried to keep it to 3!) that I came away with during my last intense somatic training. It does tie back to birth and birth work in many many ways […]

Calling My Cervix Back to Me

October 27, 2024 • 52 mins
Ah, this was so healing to share! I tell the story of having half my cervix taken many many years ago. The story defies what actually happened after (birthing 10 babies!) and I feel like it’s such a powerful testament to our bodies, beliefs and our Soul path. Our bodies know how to heal and […]

Remembering Our Divine Purpose with Donna Maria Camps

October 14, 2024 • 71 mins
I am so honored to have recorded this chat with my mentor and elder, Donna Maria. I began life studies with her over 4 years ago and this glimpse into her stories and life and perspective is only a fraction of her wisdom. Her way of seeing is what people NEED at this time, in […]

October 10, 2024 • 60 mins
I loved having this chat with another of our wisdom keepers from the Sacred Birth Certificate program.

I think you will love this conversation and […]

Deep Rest and Our Energetic Fertility

October 6, 2024 • 57 mins
Whew, it’s been a big week with so many realizations and new awareness. I share the biggest ones with you here, around the need for really resting the body INTERNALLY and seeing what fabulous things flow out of that. It’s been such a cool experience to see what those things are for me, and to […]

The Creative Impulse With Verena Borell

September 30, 2024 • 76 mins
In this new podcast, I talk with another of our wisdom keepers from our Sacred Birth Certificate program. Verena is an evolutionary astrologist and shares about her own creative spark and process. It won’t come as a surprise, but life imitates birth and birth is just one of the creative forces that may be available […]
