This is my second circle in the Or****ic Birth Practitioner Program. And yes—when you hear the words or****ic and birth together, you might shake your head and wonder, “Are they crazy?”
No, we are not.
This journey is a deeply human approach to life, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, the relationship between partners before and after the arrival of their baby, and the way a woman cares for and sees herself through all these stages.
And everything is held together by one simple, powerful force: LOVE.
This love has a thousand faces and a thousand ways to express itself. Every day we forget that it exists—we don’t see it as often anymore, even though it surrounds us.
Every Monday at 7 p.m., for ten beautiful weeks, I have the opportunity to listen to and speak with women from all around the world—birth doulas, midwives, doctors, and scientists. Together we explore how to bring this lost, forgotten, sometimes even shamed love back into our lives—both personally and professionally.
As a home birth mother and birth doula, my heart is full of gratitude, admiration, and deep love for our independent midwives.
When I have the honor of supporting a mother or a couple during the sacred, unique moments of their child’s arrival, I also get to witness the profound work of these incredible midwives.
These women bring true humanity into birth. They carry knowledge, skill, and equipment—but above all, they bring love, care, calmness, and tenderness. To watch a midwife gently kiss a mother’s hand and tell her how powerful and extraordinary she is brings only love and tears to my eyes.
Love gives birth to love. Birth happens because of love.
OR****IC = BIRTH
D., I love you. ❤️
