| Birth Story Circle: Reframing difficult births | |
| Being a midwife means being a witness, a guide, an ally, and truly being present with the woman and with their family throughout the childbearing year. Midwifery care is a time to celebrate and hold space with this major transformation.
Informed consent is integral to midwifery services, but so is listening to the birthing mother. How are you feeling? How do you think you could be eating better or be treating yourself better? What has worked for you to do this in the past? How were your other birth experiences? How do you feel about them? What are your fears and strengths and desires for birth? What are your dreams for parenting? What are your challenges? What have you discovered about your baby so far? What can I do for you to help you feel connected and empowered? As a mother, I have birthed 3 children at home, all of them were very different pregnancies and very different births. Each birth taught me a great deal about myself, and the first two were the ones that led me into birth work. I began attending births in 1999 and soon became a doula, attended Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery, began mentoring Birthing from Within childbirth classes, and apprenticed with a direct entry home birth midwife. All of these experiences still blend together to fuel my passion for birth work. Midwifery care includes prenatal visits, a home visit to check supplies and see where you live, the birth, and postpartum visits that can extend to 9 months, if desired. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I also mentor Birthing From Within childbirth classes for couples no matter where they plan to deliver. Birthing from Within classes include art, pain coping, working through fears and with strengths, birth from 4 perspectives (mother, partner, baby, and culture), storytelling, role playing, and so much more. Oh, and I can't forget an opportunity to focus on this pregnancy and celebrate it. If you have had a difficult birth or one that has left you uneasy, I also mentor a Birthing from Within based workshop called Birth Story Circle. It integrates art, story, and body memory to reexamine and reframe one's birth experience for empowerment. |
