I've been living and healing beneath this majestic acacia, in one of my ancestral homelands for the past 2+ years. If you've seen it in real life you'll know this photo does it no justice.

One of the tools that I've picked up along this journey is Reiki and I love sharing it with folks. I'll be in NYC for 10 days this month. If you'd like to schedule a session or know someone who might be interested, please reach out. I'll also be offering a hybrid HypnoBirthing class please feel free to share 💜www.liminalbirth.com

Although I don't usually feel the need to celebrate mothers day, I often feel the need to celebrate mother's and mothering. It's hard and it should not be done in isolation or alone. I'm so thankful for all my mother-sisters, I truly couldn't do it without you all. When we take care of the mothers we take care of the future. Support a mother today. Visit to find this and more amazing t's (thanks ).

Also, if you're pregnant or know someone in the NYC area who is, you can sign them up for my next Virtual HypnoBirthing® class series. It starts one week from today. Giving the gift of relaxation during pregnancy, especially in the time of covid-19, is a wonderful way to nurture the future.

I love a good pot of beans. These ones are very brothy with a good amount of salt, garlic, olive oil, mint and lemon.

Look at these beautiful couples! They're learning HypnoBirthing® to prepare for their babies births. They're navigating birthing during a time most of us couldn't have predicted and they are doing so in such thoughtful, graceful and grounded ways. Sunday mornings over the last 4 weeks, have been a retreat, not an escape but a welcome reminder that presence and love (the opposite of fear) as we move through birth (and life) allows us to really experience being human. I'm doing my best to apply that same knowing to my life during covid-19.
HypnoBirthing teaches you to call on your birthing instincts, use deep relaxation, breathing and visualization to minimize fear and maximize satisfaction during your birthing. Now is a great time to learn! My next 2 virtual series' begin in NYC April 30th and May 17th. For more information or to sign up visit my website (link in bio). www.liminalbirth.com.

These are two cards I picked this morning from an old deck that was my friend many years ago. The first one, for today: 9 of swords. I'm moving between feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, worry and grief (grief is a big one) with a sprinkling of joy and hope. The second, about the time just beyond: Balance (traditionally temperance). I got a very strong message that the only way out is through and that the lessons, should I choose to learn them, will be lasting. I'm working hard not to escape (is there any escape these days)? I know my mission here on Earth is to live in love to spread love and to be love. It sounds so simple and maybe even naive but it's been hard. So, here I am today sitting with anxiety and fear and letting myself feel it in my body so it can move through me. If you're reading this, I love you. Be well dear ones.

Different times call for different measures. My virtual HypnoBirthing® class series begins in 20 minutes. This is a wonderful time to learn HypnoBirthing® finding ways to relax and settle the nervous system is always important and these days we have the gift of time to allow for practice. I'd love for you to share this with anyone who is pregnant and feeling fear during this liminal time. I'll be doing another series soon. Sending love and healing. Link for more information in bio.

With kids home, social distancing, changes to work life and general uncertainty. I'm finding ways to return to simple living. In this strange time, as we walk through the unknown, many of us feel nervous and unsure about what we're stepping into. When I think forward I hope to be able to look back at this time and say: as a family we became more connected, my ability to support other humans has increased because I've opened to different ways of connecting, I found more time for the earth and her trees and true beauty, I faced myself and my fears and survived even stronger than before.

I know this is a picture of scones but the point is I've always loved living simply but have gotten so caught up in the busy distracted reality of our times. Time to get back to it. These scones are simple, vegan and delicious they're from (although I can never truly follow a recipe). They were gone in minutes. Forward in health and love.

PS I'm still teaching virtual HypnoBirthing classes starting March 22 and have openings for Postpartum and plant based food support. Contact me! liminalbirth@gmail.com
