Welcome to These Light Footsteps, the blog related to Light Footsteps Herb Farm & Learning Center.
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!

I guess even when you’re 4 sometimes you just need to get on mama’s back and fall asleep. Baby wearing is an extremely valuable tool and is something I try to teach all my new parents how to do! Today she was having an epic meltdown and even though I haven’t worn her in probably a year I knew this might do the trick! Success!

This year, the theme for the International Day of the Midwife (IDM) is Follow the Data: Invest in Midwives. Decades of high-quality evidence repeatedly demonstrates that midwives improve perinatal health. We know that investing in midwives saves lives, improves health, conserves health care dollars and strengthens health systems. Worldwide, increased investment in midwives could save up to 4.3 million lives every year!

The rise and fall of the tides. The cycle of the moon and menstruation. The dance of the seasons. The transformation of birth and death. These are the anchors that give our lives meaning; a way of connecting to the divine if we stop and listen to the rhythms, if we follow them and revere them with our bodies and our hearts.

Such an amazing thing to help support and witness these transformations. ❤️

Finally got a pelvis last month! This has been so helpful to talk about optimal fetal positioning, fetal station, and more in my prenatals and childbirth education class. Being informed helps to eliminate fear and uncertainty around birth which can help make for a smoother labor and birth. 🤰 Are you realizing how many choices there are and how much information (often conflicting!) is out there? Would you like a guide to help you sort through it and feel ready for your birth? Let’s talk! 💜
