We had a long week at the birth center. I remain grateful to all of our clients who encourage and aid in our learning process. Some of these things rarely happen and I got to practice them all at once.

Making midwifery sustainable means knowing when and how to take care of yourself. There will be lots of learning happening during this year's conference and we need the help of some somatic practitioners to support the cause.

Passion alone won't sustain us. Skill development will.
When I was teaching, I told people that many of my kids were taking in information. They just needed help filing it so they could find it again. So, I'm taking my own advice as someone whose fragmented sense of structure is triggering ADHD while trying to learn midwifery skills.

Something worth waking up at 5:30am and driving 2 hrs for. I had the best time learning about the farms on the Black Farm Tour. A reminder that community work is intersectional.

Farms Visited and Lessons Learned:
1. Healing Hope Urban Garden: Keep showing up for what you believe in, tell good people your hopes and dreams, you never know who might have what you need

2. Real Roots: the money is in Compost and worms are remarkable creatures

3. 31st St Urban Farm: Permaculture could save us all, design with intention

4. Sankofa Orchard: this isn't about planting pretty flowers and fruit trees, it gives purpose and intentional space to community and offers the learning that won't come from a diluted school system

My classmates and I decided to share first day of school photos this semester. I'm looking forward to everything! The births, fidgets while in class all day, so much reading, the group chats, seeing everyone in person for test-outs, baby pictures, after recording get real moments, using my French press everyday!

Happy Fall Semester Midwifery students! May it be a semester of growth and community 💖

Taking one birth and one or 2 more postpartum clients in the DMV before I head down to Harrisonburg. I'm very excited about this transition. If you know anyone in Shenandoah Valley, let know I'll be offering services down there soon!

I also want to thank people who have been sharing and offering kind words of encouragement. I know times are crazy right now and so many people need support.

One day we'll operate more community focused, more mutual aid that goes beyond financial means.

Let me know when yall are ready to barter!

You won't learn this in school...

Two of the most concerning pregnancy concerns are pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Normally handled post discovery with medications or handled with things like baby aspirin.

Deep dive with community, common sense, and some of that House curiosity and we can find holistic preventative ways to deal with these things.

I want you to stay with the midwife you choose.
