Mother Wilderness

There’s a big change coming for me and my family.

Next week, I begin a new role as a Maternal Care & Birth Services Policy Analyst with an Indigenous organization.

Even writing that feels emotional. This next step feels deeply meaningful to me - not only because of what it means for my family, but because of the larger impact it will allow me to have in maternal care and birth work.

Within this work, I’ll have the opportunity to sit with Elders, Chief and Council, and community members to hear what is working, what is not working, and where the gaps are. I’ll get to listen, learn, and be shaped by community wisdom and ceremony in ways that can help enrich and strengthen the birth realm in First Nation communities.

Because of this shift, I will no longer be offering 1:1 doula services.

That’s not something I say lightly. This work has held so much of my heart. To be welcomed into such intimate seasons of women’s lives has been an incredible honor, and there is real tenderness for me in closing this chapter.

And still, I know this change is right.

What I’m building is not ending. It is evolving.

Mother Wilderness is moving into fully online support, and you can still work with me through:
• The Sacred Ascent: Birth Prep
• Sacred Impressions: Placenta Workshop
• From Root to Radiance: Women's Wisdom & Wellness (stay tuned for this!!)

These spaces will continue to hold education, community, support, and live calls when I offer them. I’ll also still be offering placenta work in a way that fits within my schedule.

This season feels like both grief and gratitude.
A letting go, and a stepping forward.
A closing of one sacred chapter, and the beginning of another.

To every woman and family who has trusted me in my doula work - thank you. Truly. It has been an honor to walk beside you.

And to those continuing with me in this next season, thank you for being here. I’m so grateful. 🌿

Women are taught to doubt themselves.

Little by little, many of us learn to override what we feel. To be agreeable. To seek permission. To trust outside voices more than our own.

And after enough of that, self-abandonment can start to feel normal.

This is one of the deepest reasons intuition matters. Not as a trend. Not as a buzzword. But as a way back to yourself.

When a woman reconnects with her intuition, she begins to hear what is true for her. Her body speaks louder. Her heart gets clearer. Her voice gets stronger. And the path that once felt confusing becomes harder to betray.

Your authority was never missing. It was always yours.

If you want to go deeper into reconnecting with your intuition and learning how to hear yourself more clearly, comment EVENT and I’ll send you the details for the live intuition event.

We go live this Sunday Oct 4th, 6pm CST.
Recording will be available for 2 weeks after.

See you there, my friend 🧡🫂

I almost made one of the biggest decisions of my pregnancy from fear that wasn’t even mine.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, it was the height of Covid, and my husband & I were being flooded with opinions, pressure, projections, & fear from every direction.

At one point, my husband came to me in tears, overwhelmed by everything being placed on us. And for a moment, part of me wanted to give in.
Not because it felt true. Because it felt easier.

But deep down, I knew I did not want to make this decision from fear.
Not fear of home birth.
Not fear of the hospital.

So I got quiet enough to ask myself: If all this outside noise disappeared … what would I actually want?

And the answer was clear. HOME ❤️

The moment I got honest with myself, the next step appeared.
The support came.
The preparation came.
The confidence came.

That experience changed me. It showed me that when a woman can hear her own voice again, the path becomes clearer.

This is why I care so deeply about helping women quiet the noise, reconnect with themselves, & make decisions from truth instead of fear.

And truthfully - this is bigger than pregnancy.
This is for the woman birthing a baby, a business, a new season, a truer version of herself.

A woman is not broken in pregnancy.
She is not meant to become more disconnected from herself.

And yet this is what so many women are taught.
To look outside themselves first.
To trust opinions over instinct.
To gather more information while growing further from their own inner voice.

More noise.
More pressure.
More fear.
And little by little, they start doubting the very part of themselves designed to guide them.

Your intuition is not fluff or woo-woo.
It is still there for a reason.
And a woman is designed to find her way through this - not by knowing everything, but by learning to hear herself again.

That is what I want for women in pregnancy.
Not blind trust in authority.
Not more disconnection.
But a return to themselves.

Because when a woman can hear her own voice, she moves through pregnancy and birth differently. She makes decisions differently.
She feels herself differently.
She remembers that the wisdom she needs was never fully outside of her.

Pregnancy can get loud fast.
Opinions. Fear. Pressure. Conflicting advice.
And somewhere in all of that, it can become harder to hear your own voice.

Your intuition is not gone.
You’re not doing it wrong either.
You’ve likely been taught to trust everything outside of you first.

This FREE LIVE EVENT is for the pregnant woman, the birth worker, the father who wants to come back to her/him self.

To quiet the noise.
To reconnect with what feels true.
To calm the nervous system.
And to make decisions from a more grounded, self-trusting place.

Inside this live event, we’ll explore what pulls you away from your knowing, how to reconnect with your intuition in pregnancy, and how to feel more clear in your birth decisions.

Until hospital policy changes and it becomes standard practice to keep placentas available for mothers until they’ve had the chance to decide, you need to make a plan for your placenta before birth - Every. Single. Time.

Because once your baby is here, things move quickly. And too many women don’t realize they had a choice until the placenta has already been taken away.

Your placenta is not insignificant. It was made by your body, for your baby. It nourished your baby, oxygenated your baby, protected your baby, and kept them company through their whole time in the womb. It was their first support system.

This part of birth deserves more reverence. Not as an afterthought. Not only if someone remembers to ask. And not only once it’s too late.

If you want the chance to keep it, see it, touch it, bury it, encapsulate it, photograph it, thank it, or simply decide later - that choice needs protecting before labour begins.

That’s why I created my free guide to help you protect, care for, and preserve your placenta after birth.
