Story of an Elder Midwife

As a student midwife we look to the elders in this field for guidance.  This is a phenomenal story of elder Midwife Mama Sarahn as she journeyed as a midwife. I was honored to meet her in 2013 at a Midwifery conference in Atlanta. I was stoked when I actually had the opportunity to ride in what I call her “baby-mobile”. She has such a calming and peaceful energy grounded in truth and appreciation for the traditional culture of midwifery.  Thank you Mama Sarahn and all the other elder Midwives still doing this work, for your dedication and openness to teach and share. We are grateful and we love you.

 

I look forward to archiving the present journey of midwifery as well.   Enjoy this presentation and check out her site www.birthinthetradition.com 

Home Birth After Cesarean (HBAC)

Many women wonder if they can journey into natural birth after a cesarean, let alone have a home birth. Of course all things are possible and despite the high rate of c-sections around the globe many families are making the conscious decision to choose home birth their next go around.  How liberated they must feel to experience their bodies taking the steps through labor.  It may be intense, but the journey is bound to bring forth a beautiful gift… sometimes even a Moonbeam;)
