THE RADICAL PATH

 I'm elated to offer: HOME-BIRTH PREP:  $500 for 6 pre-birth meetings, 2 postpartum

Have you imagined yourself birthing like a wild woman, in ecstasy, in your own home or another space outside of the hospital?

It's wonderful that you're exploring  home-birth, and I'm here for you.  Whether this will be your first birth, your first freebirth, or your first undisturbed birth,  home-birth is literally an option for every woman and family.

5 years ago, when I answered my calling to work with women, my focus was initially on supporting women in any kind of birth preference and I do this now. However, through my experiences in hospital deliveries, I saw with distinct clarity the polar differences between hospital and home-birth.  I realized what I always knew in my heart and gut: that guiding women through wild, undisturbed birth is my true calling

My goal as your birth mentor is to help you open to confidence in your body, trust in your wisdom, and immerse yourself in the process of birth.  

With this package, we deep-dive into the biological blueprint of how birth really works. 

Why? Because the way we give birth has a profound impact on mothering and on our very core, with repercussions lasting into future generations! 

We'll explore topics outside of  mainstream birth education programs, like: 

* the drastic differences between physiologic and medically managed pregnancy and birth

* what to expect during the birth process

* your dream birth

* how authority works during pregnancy and birth, and how to claim yours

* navigating the medical system

* the mom-baby unit

* older kids at birth and childcare  

* how to pick a non-disruptive support team

* food, drink, supplies, and more.     

Just imagine your baby emerging from your body, undisturbed, from her/his true home: YOU!

You're surrounded by  familiar scents, your own food, your own people, in your own bed, in your own bathroom, home in all its familiarity.

If  you're called to be that wild woman with  her primal sounds and movements; roaring her baby into the world, this home-birth preparation program is for you. 

You may have questions, been told outright  "no" you cannot home-birth,  been risked out of medical midwife care, or  need more information to assess if home-birth is for you. We sort this out at our prenatal connection meetings. 

The fact of the matter is that any woman may own her birth. 

As a birth-keeper, during  your birth process, I love, nourish, and nurture you as you release yourself and your baby to your inner wisdom. Your baby swims water to earth with you her/his mother,  as the sole authority.  I may be one room away, and if and when you call me, I come to you. 

I can't wait to work with you.

Radically yours, Martha

Woman owned Birth

-You, the birthing woman, are the sole authority over your body, birth and baby

Current System

-Medical managers are the authorities over both you and your baby.

Woman owned Birth

- The birth of your baby is from you. 

Current System

-You  deliver your baby to other people. 

Woman owned Birth

-You, the creator of your baby, naturally and spontaneously do everything needed to birth, and feed and care for your baby in pure love and health. 

Current System

-Women must be rescued from their own bodies, and their babies rescued from them. The woman herself is secondary because her body  is an acute or potential threat to her baby.

Woman owned Birth

-During the birth process, you move, rest, eat, drink, scream,  dance, breathe quietly, or do anything at all. You are free.

Current System

-You "get" some of the things you hoped for during labor if your medical mangers allow it.

Woman owned Birth

Any pregnant human may home-birth.

Current System

Some women may potentially home-birth:  you must initially be labeled "low risk" by current medical standards and pass enough tests to keep the "low risk" label through immediate postpartum. 

Woman owned Birth

During your birth process, no one comes near you unless you call them to you.  You are supreme.

Current System

Medical staff members come at you in a revolving door style during your labor or induction to check your cervix and adjust the machines attached to your body. You are the subject in a "trial of labor"  to attempt vaginal delivery.

Woman owned Birth

When your baby is born, only you touch your baby until and if you allow someone else to do so. 

Current System

It's per medical protocol and situation. Some women, sometimes, are allowed to hold and breastfeed their baby for part of the time postpartum.

YOU!
