November brings another opportunity to gather and learn how to take care of your cesarean scar within a healing community space.

I look forward to this opportunity again!

As we approach the autumn equinox, I am reminded that yes, this is a time to begin energetic preparation for the later dormancy of winter, but that this next season is still one of becoming.

Yes, we’re far into this year, and many strange and horrible things have occurred, but we must still do the important work of directing our energy and efforts inward, and that means nervous system repair, fascial release, self inquiry, and a belief that we can change, if we want to.

The past couple of weeks have had me in doubt mode, very existential and uncertain, but what I know I can do for myself is those things. I move my body even when I’m tired and don’t want to, I look at my habits and behaviors and work to change them. I write. Even when I don’t think what I’m writing is any good.

The thing I have learned about somatics and the body is that it’s never too late to do this work, and that there are many ways to do it.

If you’re interested in how I support clients to feel at home in their bodies, please reach out.

What are you doing for yourself as fall approaches? What is the energy of this seasonal shift for you?

Two weeks out from this unique and informative class! Moms, you deserve to feel good in your body! Scar tissue is an important part of healing, but over time it can impact our health and comfort. In this class, you’ll learn tools you can begin using regularly to support your body’s natural healing. It’s never too late to start, either! Whether your birth was a couple of months ago, or a couple of decades ago, you’ll walk away with something that will help you feel connected to your body in a new way!

Reminding and encouraging you all to join me for my Somatics training for doulas on October 26 and 27. Here is some information on polyvagal theory, which is the foundation of my course. I extrapolate this information in a birth, postpartum, and infant context that is not yet being talked about very widely and is undoubtedly really informative and important for doulas to be aware of. There are still spots in the class. I will put the link in the. comments.

If you are called to working in birthwork to a level that includes catching babies and performing medical duties, please consider pursuing midwifery. Doula work is not intended to fill this role. If you have a client who is considering birthing outside the system but still wants your support, encourage them to think through what it is they are wanting or needing from their birth.

What is one the best thing about being a doula, you ask? The precious BABIES of course! Not only do we get to help women through this process but we also get the joy of getting to snuggle and meet their baby.

our role is to witness, support, listen, affirm, clarify if possible, and provide resources. We are not there to put a silver lining on things or to "clean up" or fix anything. Our clients will need time to process and heal from their births, physically, mentally, energetically, etc., and our support plays one part in that. It is highly beneficial, especially if a client experienced trauma, to see a perinatal mental health therapist, somatic practitioner, or both. Be sure to have a list of therapists and practitioners to send to them.

It takes a team to make your journey one that is comfortable, memorable, and peaceful.

As a birth doula communication starts in prenatal meetings with our clients in order to hear their their desires for birth, offer birth options, and share helpful experiences. In our client's labor, we practice a subtler form of communication, where, in addition to tuning in to our client's voice, we begin a physical and energetic communication with our client's body. We read their movement, their breathing, their tension, and so on, to best respond to their present needs. This form of communication that develops between a doula and their client in labor could be called intuitive, empathic, and embodied.
