Taking Back Birth

Today I talk directly to birth workers and about birth work specifically in this new offering for September. Most women I meet are chronically depleted and exhausted, and birth workers are at the top of that list.

Is that what we want for ourselves? Is that what we want for the future? I am done with hearing and seeing women wear exhaustion as a badge of honor. It’s not anything to be ashamed about either! In this month long c...

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 a waitlist for my 5 week Postpartum Miscarriage Support 1:1 container, and you can join below if you’d like to be notified abo...

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 much more. I love that we can always challenge the status quo together, in our own ways. And don’t forget to check out our Sacred Sisterhood Doula P...

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 offer my new project to you and the world! I will be releasing more “Midwife Stories” starting in August as a new project that you can learn more about below.

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 in a humane way and emerge powerful is my main objective, and I am honored to be doing this sacred work.

I am in the role o...

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 the ugly when it comes to labeling births as this or that, and I definitely come back to the issues of transparency and hones...

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 think!

So grateful to my friend Erny for sharing her session and experience which you can watch and read here. This is the session I reference i...

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 the relationships we are wanting to build. Listen to hear more! Also, I start the episode with a reflection on freedom and where I think this New Year m...

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 and also is a start to educating more people about the way these teachings of the body can benefit YOU. I close with a quote I heard and what it means to m...

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 where to look is the unique journey.

To do a 1:1 session with me (focused on the womb or anything else!) check out maryngreen.co.

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 order to evolve and become royalty walking on this earth. Her teachings about the sacred ceremonies of conception, pregnancy and birth are some of the high...

I loved having this chat with another of our wisdom keepers from the Sacred Birth Certificate program. I love Felicia’s way of speaking about what sacred is, her varied experiences of serving women and a quick swerve into the blood mysteries and the wisdom of the womb. I think you will love this conversation and you can learn more from Felicia through our program which closes October 15.

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 learn more and be in better connection with my body.

Also, check out my new site where you can schedule sessions and other things. I am f...

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 to us as women. The passion, mission and drive to “make things” is something Verena and I have in common, and I thor...
