The First Days of this New Year

On New Year’s Eve we went cross-country skiing (on snow that clumped a little too easily…). Continue reading →

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!

Looking for a simple way to learn the essentials for your summer or early fall birth? I’ll be teaching a short overview class at @motherrisingcle on June 18 from 10-12:30. Take it alone or be EXTRA prepared by combining it with the amazing @mamabirdhendry Prepare Your Nest class about breastfeeding and postpartum healing on July 16. All participants will leave with a workbook and lots of my favorite resources to continue studying on their own. DM me with questions, or register at the link in my bio.

Birth #5 this month. Another beauty!!

The love and support between these two was absolutely incredible to witness. I’ve been working with this couple since their preconception journey and to see it all come full circle had me crying such tears of joy! I was in awe of the strength of the birth mom and unending support from her partner as they traveled hours through labor land and came out victorious!! So many congratulations to their growing family!!

The surrender, the power, the triumph, the love. Amazing every time!

It’s an honor to witness the strength and courage required of this journey each time.

Teamwork is essential in the birth world! Thanks for having us learn and grow with you @wc_holisticmidwifery !

🚨 Don’t head into your birth day unprepared! 🚨 I hear people say a lot that they will just “see how it goes”, but this is a monumental event that you can have so much more agency in than you may realize. Knowing your options, being prepared for the stages and sensations of labor, knowing what to expect in the immediate postpartum is invaluable information that will leave you with the ability to feel empowered no matter what the ultimate outcome of your birth. Join me and @mamabirdhendry for a 4-week deep dive into all the essentials for an empowered birth and postpartum. Class starts (virtually) Saturday, February 5! Let me know if you have any questions - link to register in my bio!

So honored to learn from and work with @thevillagecle! A truly amazing resource for our community!
