Birth story SHARING
Share and be witnessed for the journey you’ve been on.
Artwork: Kallen Mikel
Imagine gathering around a fire with your closest community—your sisters, aunties, and elders. Imagine—firelight flickering—your community gazing lovingly at you and your baby. Imagine each person attentively listening to you as you recount your pregnancy and birth journey—from conception to postpartum. Imagine being emotionally held as you recount the full spectrum of emotion and all the decisions and events that came up for you during those ten moons and beyond. Imagine nobody placing judgement on you, nobody interrupting you, and ending the evening feeling seen, heard, and tenderly held.
Your birth is significant and immensely meaningful. Your birth deserves to be witnessed.
While it’s rare in our modern society to make space for this sacred fireside share, I believe there is still great value in taking the opportunity to fully process the birth of your baby. I am available to hold space for you, to cultivate a empathetic environment, and to witness your story with awe and without judgement.
This is a 60-90 minute session mostly done over Zoom or phone, though, if you are within the Seattle city limits, we can arrange to do this in person.
