When I have to reschedule, it's because of these little people... usually... except this week when I went to two births AND had a stomach bug.
I have recovered and even went to Trader Joe's for some chocolate and personal time today ;-)
I also became president of Georgia Midwifery Association this week.
Funny how sabbaticals can bring you right back to what exhausted you, but with renewed joy and dedication.
It's for these little humans. They are pure divine innocence and they beckon me to help them get here earthside in peace and love.
We are all just on our journeys, and there's been a lot of rough parts for everyone lately it seems. Remember there's these glimmers at the end, like babies and chocolate.

It’s happening! Change that’s been needed!

- BIG NEWS! PCOS just got a new name.

As of today, published in The Lancet, the condition formerly known as polycystic o***y syndrome is officially polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). It’s the result of a global consensus involving 14,360 patients and clinicians across 56 organizations.

This is a day many of us have anticipated for YEARS!

The old name was never accurate. Those “cysts” on the ultrasound were never cysts at all (they’re arrested follicles). And the name kept the condition locked inside gynecology, when the real story has always been so much bigger.

In my practice, I’ve never treated this as an o***y problem. I treat it as dysfunction across multiple Fertility Focus Zones — metabolic health, fertility hormones, inflammation, the nervous system, and the gut-fertility axis. The new name finally honors that truth.

This new name finally gives every clinician permission to do what functional medicine has been doing all along: address the underlying metabolic dysfunction first, and let the o***y respond.

Swipe through for what’s changing and why it matters!

Happy International Day of the Midwife! We are the sage guides and space keepers for many women, from menarche to motherhood to menopause. If these pictures of what I used in my office today don’t woo you to want to have your own midwife care for birth or women’s health, then you’ve lost your way.
We welcome you back anytime.

Get yourself someone who can midwife you.

Women’s Health Herbals I love to use
I often use supplement blends by Vitanica, Gaia or Wishgarden but a good tea blend makes me smile!

As we begin big changes, we that that sense that we need to ground, soften, slow, and be in quiet places. We stay in our home, go in our gardens, and animals go into the quiet places too. This is the rooting, corresponding to the root chakra, and energy center of depth.
We can activate this by relaxing the jaw, making the sound AH and relaxing the pelvis. We might come to hands knees, kneeling, or deep sitting as ways to open the pelvic floor. This is all built into our design and nature teaches it, if we watch animals.
I've seen, as a midwife, that women who allow this phase to happen will bring labor closer to them. I am pretty insistent that they get everything prepped earlier in pregnancy and stop working at 39 weeks so they can allow this grounding.
I am curious if you feel this image is correct? I'm debating whether to make the woman be down on her knees. I feel that dancing around light is part of latent phase, but the root chakra feels like she's been more down in her pelvis and I'd say that is early labor.
I'd love feedback. We will be discussing this Saturday at the retreat as we explore the elements and how they correspond in our bodies and in labors. I'm trying to use Ai obviously to make some images.

3 pictures to describe spring in my life.
My backyard is such a gift.
To have my own soil.
To know the history of it’s tearful surrender from the Native Americans who would have cared for it with respect.
To my sweat and money to build the soil and plant natives that all of nature can eat and shelter within.
It’s a meditation, a prayer, a workout, a fascia release.

Then summer comes and I don’t concern myself with it. Weeds grow. Tomatoes turn to jungles. My irrigation keeps it alive… and I’ll be in my Airstream somewhere else…

And that’s just what I do. Don’t come over expecting manicured food garden beds in the summer. It’s not about that for me.

I will sit with coffee in the morning and look at its wildness then.
