Imagining the Virtual Apprenticeship as a Real Option
What if students could learn and practice and be in an “apprenticeship” that isn’t in the physical? We may try it out with a few of my former students who live in Kentucky as I stay living in Hawai’i. I love the idea of creating this model and making it sustainable and a win for […]

Stories of Homebirth Mamas in Hawai’i with Dr. Alexandra Kisitu
“A return to all that is human, sacred and ancient” -Alexandra Kisitu I loved talking to kindred spirit and author Alexandra about her book, “Back to the Womb: Claiming Birth Sovereignty”.

Listen in on some musings around what this is and isn’t; I also share some personal stories around learning to feel in my body, honoring where I am at and following what my body is feeling.

Beautiful Podcast - The Six Steps of Healing For Birth
This podcast (& episode) has been really enlightening. I think these Wise Woman Ways (inspired by Susan Weed’s 6 steps of healing) are so applicable to healing for/from anything and should really be taken into account. I think my favorite takeaway about both this episode and the podcast is the “energetics” and intention around it that’s truly teaching one to be their own healer instead of seeking it outside.
Solid guidance of living your truth
Love this podcast have leaned so much! I love her guidance on how to choose those you want to share your energy with it’s been so helpful to me in my work space that’s not even birth work just life work. It’s brought me so much peace in my decisions.
Obnoxious and harmful
The host is a midwife who silences the voices of people of the global majority (BIPOC) & does not want to take responsibility for her continued appropriation and exploitation of sacred practices by traditional healers. I recommend taking your birth education from someone else who isn’t stuck in a coloniser mindset & has more respect for the history and ancestors of cultural practices. There are many other respectful podcasts out there that can help you on your birth/birthworker journey.
