Sacred Beginnings, A Better Birth

This Saturday is the 2nd gathering of Mama Meetups, a Women’s Circle dedicated to supporting pregnant and new moms (grandmas welcome).

As a retired birth nurse (and grandma), lactation consultant and CBE, I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space for moms to discuss their options, values, needs and break free from cultural programming about birth and motherhood that keeps them feeling disempowered and in turn often leads to disappointing or even traumatic birth experiences. It's time for something better--Mothers deserve better and babies deserve better but it's confusing and hard to know what is truth and what is hype. That's why it's so important to have a place to talk about these important matters.

Concerns about getting the birth experience you want.
Worrying that you might be one of the many women who suffer with postpartum depression or anxiety.
Feeling like you don’t have many choices.
Wondering about what is best for you and what is best for your baby.
Wanting to talk more to your doctor or midwife but you don't feel there is time at the office appointment.

It is my goal, with your help, to create a community of women raising their consciousness around birth, babies and motherhood/parenting.
It is a free meeting in a circle like women have done for eons-- just honest discussion about the things important to you.

I look forward to meeting you at the next Mama Meetup at
Chiropractic For Life

After 30+ years as a birth nurse, and as a mom and grandmother, I had an awakening that led to a radical shift in the way I viewed normal birth and postpartum. The way most of us are conditioned to think is “normal” is often traumatic and does not meet the physiological needs of mothers and babies.
There is a better way.
It’s time to end the unnecessary trauma created by misinformation and lack of choice.
My dream has been to build a community for moms so they gain wisdom and knowledge you can’t get from your doctor or prenatal classes. A non-judgmental community where personal empowerment, vibrant health, and personal freedom are the goals not conformity for the sake of conformity.
The time is now to rise above the “norm” and reclaim our minds and our health.

Wow! This video touched me and it shows how much our children want—it’s really a need—to be seen and acknowledged by their parents (or the significant adult for them). We didn’t all get this when we were children but as adults we can “be there” for our inner child. And we will be better able to show up and meet the needs of our children when our inner child feels his/her needs are recognized and being met too.

Conscious Parenting begins with conscious birth
