I'm in the swirling! Let's swirl together π

Dear friends, Last week I wrote out and email and was almost ready to send it to you when I paused and said... "that's not right." The next day I rewrote half the email and was almost ready to send it to you when I paused and said... "that's not right either!" This is an intense time in life right now. The astrology is telling us. And probably something in your life in also telling you so. My summer was chaotic to say the least. Any moment in the past weeks and months that I've had the rare moment to myself or with a friend, I've been swollen with grief, confusion, potential, opportunity... The sands are just all shifting so fast. π School is now officially in session and while it has been a bit bumpy, I am confident (perhaps foolishly so) that we are moving in the right direction as a family. Which gives me time to pause, reflect and decide what I want to do with myself! Do you ever get that overwhelm when you're faced with freedom? So many options that you freeze and don't do anything? (That's probably because the answer is: do nothing!) π There are many uncertainties in my life right now, but I do know this: I'm excited to gather mothers in the experience of MotherCircle this fall! βοΈ If you know about MotherCircle and you're ready to dive in, the details are below (and sliding scale pricing is available). If you're on the fence or not sure what I'm talking about, I'd like to invite you to our first circle for free. Sunday, September 29, 11:30am will be a free class. "MotherDive", where we adjust our eyes and enter the underworld. You will have the opportunity to experience sitting in circle with me (nothing to be nervous about), get an introduction to the material, and from there decide if this journey is right for you in this moment. β MotherCircleSept 29 - Nov 24 (no class Oct 20)
Blessings, Just so that you know all the ways I can support you |

Dear Reader, As MotherCircle convened again this fall, I am reminded of why I do this work. And of the mission that I am on: to prepare women for labor, birth, and motherhood. It sounds a bit trite or perhaps even unnecessary since our bodies were βmade to do it.β What I mean by prepare is not just stretching the body, practicing βcomfort measures,β and having all the gadgets, diapers and clothing that you need. I want you to have the resource of inner wisdom so that you know how to listen to...
Dear Reader, Do you remember those last few weeks or months of pregnancy? Maybe there was some urgency to getting everything in place. Maybe there was some discomfort... waddling, needing 4 pillows to sleep at night, couldn't breathe or eat too much, but also perhaps a sense of stillness or closeness with your partner... But once baby came, all of that changed! In an instant! Your world upside down. Does anything feel familiar? I would like to offer something that may have resonance with your...
Dear Reader, When I had my first son, I thought I knew something about the nervous system...I was a yoga teacher and all. π§βοΈ But really, I knew nothing about MY nervous system. I didn't understand the nervous system in labor and birth, or the nervous system in bonding with our babies, and especially about this DAILY spiritual practice of mothering and how MUCH my nervous system directs this experience! Well, thankfully I've learned from some amazing women about embodied mothering - the birth...
