Do you want to be part of a growing community of trailblazing women that are guiding mothers out of burnout, depletion, & martyrdom, and into an era of empowerment, overflow, and vibrant health?

Mamas...

• Are you preparing for pregnancy and concerned about all the messaging and glorification around coffee & wine culture pushed as a solution for mothers to merely "survive" motherhood and just get through the day?

• Does it trouble you hearing many of the mothers you know complain about anxiety, depression, extreme exhaustion, and how they have trouble just formulating a sentence because of "baby brain?" 

•  Are you disturbed at how conditions like allergies, asthma, eczema, colic, and lip + tongue ties have become not only commonplace amongst our children, but are also normalized?

• If there was a way to holistically prepare the body for a healthy pregnancy to postpartum journey, avoid the chronic symptoms many mothers experience, and shield your child from potential chronic illness and disease, would you do it?

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” - Desmond Tutu

Birth workers...

• Do you wish that your birth-centered business had more space and flow, and could still support you, your family, and your clients in a relaxed, feminine way without having to be on-call 24/7?
• You know the calling to serve at birth is so much bigger than learning how to give hip squeezes on labouring mothers. How could your business expand, elevate, and improve if you were equipped with the skills to source, prepare, cook and teach about food and herbs in a way that builds grounded, strong, and resilient babies, mothers, and families?   
• What would it mean to you to have a deeper connection to nature, to activate your own innate healing capabilities, and the confidence to draw upon nature and herbal medicine to support your clients? 
• So many women who are called to serve at birth also hear the call to work with herbal medicine and the healing arts because at one time, not too long ago, they went hand in hand. It's time to activate the medicine woman within! 

Right down to the very core, to the marrow of our bones, we all deeply know that something is not right with the path we are headed down. As women who caretake life, who tend the home fires, and nurture the next generation, we have SO much influence and can help elevate humanity during this turbulent time, because the truth is too many babies, mothers, and families are falling through the cracks of a crumbling system...

So many Mothers and Birth-workers are overwhelmed because

there is a lot of conflicting, misleading, and outdated information out there...

• with huge propaganda campaigns intended to make people believe that the food humans have evolved on is bad for us and the environment.
• that birth is something we need to be saved from and medicated for.
• that herbal medicine is dangerous, unpredictable, and a bunch of hocus pocus. 
• that you can just pop a prenatal vitamin and not give another thought about what you're eating.
• that Motherhood and Birthwork is synonyomous to burnout and martyrdom.
• that suggests there is absolutely no correlation between glyphosate & toxins and the skyrocketing cases of childhood disease.

I feel you, my friend...

These are very valid challenges. The old system is designed to keep us confused, in doubt, and dependent on it.

But the good news is, this is precisely the time we begin to write a new story. Slowly but surely through our every day informed choices, through our lifestyles, and how we vote with our dollars we will begin to see big change. Just as the trees gradually transform in the autumn - leaf by leaf, tree by tree, an entire landscape transforms from green to gold. Mother Nature shows us the way. From woman to woman, home to home, we can calibrate humanity to a better way, and the scales will begin to tip in favour of life. 

Hey, I'm Ali

I began my journey into motherhood naively believing I had done all the right things, read all the books, took all the vitamins, did all the emotional work, connected with my spirit, and on and on. The birth of my son was incredibly traumatic and I lived frozen in my body with PTSD for months after his arrival. I entered labour whole, excited, and determined but was chewed up and spit out the other side completely shattered. I felt absolutely alone, vulnerable, scared, and depleted amidst the new terrain of motherhood. I could barely take care of myself, let alone a newborn baby who also needed integration and continuous care. Despite having people around who loved me dearly, I had fallen through the cracks of a corrupt and crumbling system.

Little did I know that this experience had lit a fire in me and would serve as the catalyst that would forever change the trajectory of my life. 6 months after the birth of my son, I attended my first birth as a doula, determined to understand birth and the childbearing realm in a greater way, and change it for the better on all levels.

I went on to have my daughter three years later, and it was a very peaceful and empowering home birth. However, my postpartum experience with her was a challenge to say the least. It threw me into an era of extreme exhaustion, anxiety, heart palpitations, hair loss, rapid aging, insomnia… need I go on? When I began to question why not only myself, but so many mothers were being taken on a hell ride through the childbearing year, (not all the women I was witnessing were having traumatic births - although many were) a constellation of problems began to present themselves. I also noticed that most of the children I knew in my life had either allergies, eczema, colic, were frequently sick, or had other signs of imbalance and dis-ease. 

 I went down many rabbit holes, read many books, took many wrong turns, tried horrendous restrictive diets recommended by well intentioned friends, and ultimately hit rock bottom one day when I was beyond burnout and I really heard the way that I spoke to my son. I was snappy and rude and it absolutely broke my heart. This was not the mother I wanted to be. This was the voice of a mother who was drowning and I vowed in that moment that I would change, and so I did. 

I was tired of feeling like all the inspiration and joy was sucked out me. I was tired of seeing women struggling the way I was. I was tired of searching for the answers to my health issues. I was tired of spending thousands of dollars on supplements hoping they would fix the problem. I was tired of being so damn tired. 

Today, I am 16 years into an epic deep dive within the realm of birth and what is required to create strong and resilient babies and mothers from pre-conception right into the postpartum. It is not an exaggeration to say that we can influence the health of our grandchildren before they have even been conceived; this is the truth. Take the eagle's eye view with me and realize that creating a legacy of generational health begins here and now. 

Imagine what your birth or your birth business would look like if...

- You carved out space and devoted yourself to learning these practical, tangible, life altering, and health elevating skills and practices

- You received consistent support, encouragement, and mentorship towards your goals

- You up-levelled your whole self, your whole family, your whole business, YOUR WHOLE FREQUENCY!

- You had the guidance and community you needed to keep going when you felt stuck and at a plateau

- You fully acknowledged that you are a powerful being that is helping build the way forward for our children
