This post is a bit of a rambler, so please bear with me! At least I am finally blogging again…off to Olympia tomorrow for a Birth Fair and to teach EFT to my doula community there. I’ve been thinking about the concept of sharing birth “truth” and how we do that and support women to […]
Just back from another Deepening weekend with Whapio, complete with a Blessingway for Britnee, who is due early April. I’m so inspired by this circle of women–mostly doulas, midwives-in-training and a few midwives who live and work in Olympia. They have been very welcoming and I am feeling the lack of a similar birthing community […]
I was fortunate to attend two of Dr. Sarah Buckley‘s sessions at the conference. The first I attended: “When Birth Goes Wrong–the Hormonal Impact of Interventions” deepened my understanding of the what happens physiologically with many common interventions. But my biggest learning was truly “getting” the three key requirements that contribute to an Unhindered Birth: […]
I’m still sifting through my experiences and learnings, but I thought I’d better share the big ones before I get too busy with work (and my needy garden!) Here’s the first of many… Karen Strange talked about the importance of sequences in newborn brain development and how brain function can be damaged if these […]
I’m back–feeling inspired, energized and creative! I will be sharing several blog posts to download all my thoughts on this amazing event–there’s just way too much for one post.
Spent the weekend finishing up my PowerPoint presentation for the conference. The process was made much easier by having Karl’s notes from my EFT Level One and Two training as a guide. I also watched the one EFT DVD set that somehow I hadn’t seen: “The Palace of Possibilities.” Low and behold, there is Gary […]
I’m so excited! Got the email yesterday and spoke to Kristi Zittle, the conference organizer about flight details, staying an extra night, etc. I will be holding a 4 hour EFT for Birth Professionals training on Thursday afernoon/evening and a 90 minute EFT- Up Close and Personal presentation on Saturday morning. Time to get that […]
I woke up this morning to an email asking me if I would consider being the back-up EFT Presenter for the Trust Birth Conference this year. I am beyond excited!!! One of my main intentions last year was to work with women in the birth community and this is a tremendous opportunity. I’ll know next […]
I am driving down to Olympia tomorrow for Part 2 of my “Deepening into Birth” training. I’m excited to be spending 3 more weekends learning about birth, both from a physiological viewpoint and from a spiritual perspective. Our teacher, Whapio Diane Bartlett, has been a midwife for over 27 years and worked intensively in Christian […]
