My
Story
I’ve often imagined what it must be like to live as a pack.
To nest in a den.
A safe haven, a warm space, and cove that is yours that serves to protect you and your young voraciously.
We are so often alone as we walk throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood, left to trailblaze a path of our own making. We drown in information as we are thirsting for community and knowledge. I believe that no one woman should be left to carry all the weight alone. We are made to hold each other, support one another, and rise together.
Holding and caring for others in a space of need, has felt like a way to fix a small corner in The world. Being in your birth and postpartum space, is an honor that stays with me.
The name “Den Mother Birth”
came as an ode to my own children.
Not only who are beautifully wild,
but house a deep devotion to wolves. My home is filled with figurines, drawings, and the occasional growl.
I have taken Embodied Childbirth Education classes at Flow of Life, here in Asheville. As well as their DONA approved Doula Training course. I have received additional training in lactation support, as accessibility to proper breastfeeding support is a passion of mine, and am in the midst of becoming a Certified Somatic Womb Practitioner, and Childbirth Educator. I am also a writer with years of experiences in creative and copy writing, and am currently shifting my focus to grant writing and non-profit work. I am blessed to call the Blue Ridge Mountains home, and spend most nights listening to the crackling of a fire, and kiddo’s giggles, while snuggling up with my husband, and reading yet another novel.
