October

This last October I had the amazing opportunity to spend most of the month absorbing 3 amazing opportunities. Normally my months are quite full with births; however, late into the summer I noticed I didn’t have anyone due in October. Considering I was full the months before and after October, I felt that October was held open for a reason. I started looking into opportunities to the expand my experience. Shortly after, the Indie Birth Advanced Midwifery Workshop was announced. During which, I had been connecting with Dr. Stu Fischbein with Birthing Instincts about shadowing him for a couple weeks. Those two opportunities were quickly arranged. Then just when I thought my month was full enough. Another opportunity came for the Innate Postpartum Training/ Retreat. Of course, I took it.

Here are many of my pictures from October.

Above is my trip to New Mexico for Innate Postpartum Training. We had an amazing time of learning, completed with a sweat lodge and warm springs.

And last opportunity, but certainly NOT least was training and shadowing Dr. Stu for two weeks. As you can see, I had fun, spoke on my first podcast, and did sight seeing too.

I’m so completely honored to have absorbed these amazing experiences and am still processing all that I have learned. A huge thank you to Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Maryn Green, and Dr. Stu Fischbein who provided amazing insight, experience, and wisdom. Lastly, a huge thank you to Tracy, my husband, for his amazing support, encouragement, and managing the household while I was away.
