What is Spiritual Birth Keeping?
Throughout the years, I have gone back and forth trying to explain what I do and what separates me from other birth workers. I think for me it always comes back to there is no one who offers what I can offer because there is only one of ME. Birth Keeping is an ancient art of simply "mothering the mother". I support you wherever you are in your journey of mothering. Whether at the very beginning of conception, throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum, or breastfeeding. I use traditional remedies old and new. From herbs, acupressure, massage, breathwork, homeopaths, plant medicinals, etc. I offer mother-led care. In other words, its whatever the family needs and within my legal capacity to assist and serve you. I do not offer medical services. Birth is not a medical procedure. I do not offer labs, tests, ultrasounds, etc. I offer support, education, informed choice, and whatever we customize for your needs. Including meals, massage, house cleaning, childcare, overnight care, placenta encapsulation, birth photography, etc. Please feel free to email me at info@spiritualbirthkeeper.com and I will email you a copy of my packages and services.

Birth Attendance
Because I was trained Traditionally and not Institutionally, its a bit more complicated keeping track of the one million hrs. I have in trainings, workshops, mission trips, retreats, personal studies, correspondence studies, books, courses, personal experience, birth education, spinning babies, countless breech workshops, herbalism, yoga, meditation, etc. over more than a 2 decade span. Education never ends and I absolutely love what I do and learning new skills every year is something I enjoy very much. There is no way I can ever master birth and its mysteries and every birth brings on an entirely new experience of skills and education. I love that I can say I have done this for so long and yet still have so much to learn. I never want to claim to know something or have done something I have not. I am more than happy to answer any further questions you may have about my experience and education.
