“Our ancestors left us a legacy that talks about simplicity, beauty and a deep connection and respect for the land around us, and throughout most of human history, birth was always supported by community and plant medicine. My mission is to help people reconnect with their bodies and the incredible heritage and strength that we all carry within. In a time and place where we are still fighting for birth justice at different levels, a call to pass on this knowledge of self-reliance and empowerment is fundamental.”
