Super Simple DIY Diaper Spray

As you might have guessed, we are a cloth diapering family.

From day one, our baby has had a fluffy bottom and she’s still going strong at 13 weeks.

My name is Christine and I'm a permaculturist, herbalist, and biologist doing my best to follow the rhythms of the natural world. I like to write about herbalism, backyard farming, permaculture projects, simple living, and finding spirit in nature. I'm also an attachment/gentle parent and advocate for women's choices in birth.
Please look around, I hope you'll find something you like!

A winter pause. ❄️ I hope you are all finding some peace in these cold, dark days. I just wanted to give a brief update that I am laying really low this January going through a metamorphosis of sorts. One version of my life is dying and I am taking time to care for myself and start dreaming for what is next. I will begin scheduling appointments for clients and come out of my winter rest toward Imbolc in the beginning of February. Following nature’s rhythms has been my calling for quite some time so this is a natural point of rest and retreat for us all. I hope you can take it easy as well! ❄️ For anyone interested, I will have another childbirth ed series on Saturdays February 5, 19 and March 5, 19. You can sign up at the link in my bio!

Reach out Saturday-Tuesday to schedule your doula interview or initial herbal consult and receive the discount on your 2022 services! Or head to the shop for 15% off during this sale window. Thank you for your support of my small business. ❤️

This fall I’ve been advancing my skill set learning the Body Ready Method to help my clients ease pregnancy discomforts and help the body get into better alignment for childbirth and postpartum recovery. It is an amazing synthesis of understanding the body and how to help make pregnancy and birth less painful and more enjoyable! The Body Ready Method is available in a program for parents called @onestrongmamaprenatal .

Ready to feel prepared for your late winter/spring birth? We are looking for a few more families to join us for Resilient Birth Prep. A 4 week deep dive to help you feel confident in your birth choices, know your options, and enter your birth with confidence! We begin December 4! Link to register in my profile. DM me with any questions and we’d love for you to join us!

Your birth story matters. And although we can’t control everything, we can definitely be prepared and informed about our options and how to advocate for what we want. Being a part of your birth team, rather than the recipient of some provider’s preferences, makes all the difference in how you feel after your birth. This can then have a big impact on whether you enter parenthood feeling empowered or not. Ready to learn about your options and how to create a list of your birth preferences? Join us for Resilient Birth Prep this December and January! DM me for more information or to sign up!

This is the most common thing I hear after the last session of my childbirth education series. People feel so relieved to hear all the facts presented to them in a cohesive way so that they can make good choices and approach birth with a clarity about what is to come. I find they also appreciate a voice helping to reinforce the normalcy of birth and that they were designed to do this. Often, they are bombarded with fear and negativity from the culture and friends/family who might have good intentions, but are unfortunately planting seeds of doubt. We can work on this and have you feeling confident and empowered as you enter your birth. ❤️ Join us for this next round of Resilient Birth Prep in December and January! DM me with questions or to sign up!

Did you know that your choice of provider is one of the strongest predictors of whether or not you will have an intact perineum? Midwifery-led care is your best bet for not only having an intact perineum but also is associated with less likelihood of using forceps, vacuum, or having an episiotomy.

Coping with the sensations of labor, the sweet relief of delivery, and getting cozy with skin to skin contact right after birth. A beautiful thing to witness and support!!
