If I can offer anything to you, it's that I invite you to show up with all of your history and life experiences. I do not assume that I have more power or authority over your body and your health than you do (and I reject health care models that concentrate power in the hands of a provider). I always want you to feel comfortable in making your own decisions, because ultimately you know what's best for you and for your family.
All in Midwifery
First Trimester Thoughts
Nope, I'm not pregnant. I'm wrapping up the first three months of my midwifery apprenticeship at the Concord Birth Center and wanted to take a moment to consciously reflect on what it's been like and what I've learned.
Next month I begin a busy midwifery apprenticeship, with my eyes on my own home birth practice in 2019. If I told myself six years ago that this was the path I was on, I would never have believed it.
I've been radio silent for the past couple of months but have so many stories to tell, from my recent trip to Kashmir and meeting a 105 year old midwife, to scaling the Himalayas with a nine-month old. In the meantime, I'm very excited to share an opinion piece I wrote published today on CNN.com, thinking about how our overuse of modern technologies is a factor in America's unacceptably high maternal mortality rate
