I was so excited to get to chat with my one of my very favorite MA doulas about home birth in MA! (Though I cannot believe I forgot the name of our state midwifery org-which is MA Midwives Alliance! massmidwives.org Forgive me-I was pretty nervous being recorded😂 !)

In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I’m joined by Noel Fernandez, CPM of Solid Ground Midwifery for a conversation about home birth in Massachusetts — what it actually looks like, what people often misunderstand about it, and why more families are exploring it as a thoughtful, evidence-...

Look at these stunning earrings a sweet family gifted me🩷I am always SO touched by the thoughtfulness of these gifts-these earrings are made by a favorite artist of mine! So lucky to get to witness these clients through such sacred moments-and to be witnessed as well!? Well, that just cracks my heart wide open🩷❤️🩷

Y’all. I am just in awe of my sweet clients who are responding to a big ask with so much tenderness for this family they do not even know. This is what true community looks like. I’m so grateful🩷🩷🩷

A *very* long week ended with a postpartum visit with a sweet family who sent me home with these gorgeous eggs and honey from their own backyard!🩷

Some babes need lots of time and nearly all the tricks we have up our sleeves to find their way earth-side. This sweet babe asked us for patience and trust, which their parents gave in droves. This family came into my practice late in pregnancy but we were able to build a foundation based on transparency and trust in each other quickly-and it mattered deeply during this 49 hour journey. Welcome to the world, we are so glad you’re here!🎉🩷

My clients have made me feel so spoiled lately😭🩷💐 A closing visit with a family who is just so stinkin cool and sweet🩷 This mama wrote the kindest words, a few of them being “you truly do feel like solid ground” made me cry big ol tears! When I re-named my beloved practice I had some criticism from a handful of people about the new name, with really strong encouragement to reconsider the name. I felt so strongly that it represented what (I hope) care with me felt like, during a time that can feel so liminal and ever-changing for people I want to be a grounding and calm presence in it all. Thank you so much for letting me a small part of welcoming this “tiny” babe!😂🩷

A fairly quiet clinic day means time for some CEU coursework between visits🪡Did you know home birth midwives can repair the vast majority of tears that might occur at birth (but also home birth can be protective of your tissues since you are choosing your birthing position)!

Began my day with an office visit for a mama welcoming her first babe, this afternoon has been full of self care: sunshine filled walk with the buddies, a facial for this peri-menopausal skin of mine, then I arrived home to a sweet gift left by a mama whose (big) babe turned 1 month old today😭🩷 I’ll end the day with a consult and finally a postpartum visit with the newest solid ground baby🩷🎉
