With this deep respect I listen differently- to the respirations, the tears, the eyes and the heart. Sometimes I listen to the story that the heart is telling me, beat to beat. Our life experiences set the foundation for the way that we see and teach about nurturing the soil and the rest of our relations. https://www.wovenmidwifery.com/monitrice daily 0.75 2021-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617323149610-U95D0QDFX9607C7Y7GK4/tumblr_inline_oxoa31FzWN1son8oc_1280.jpg Monitrice 24/7 on-call availability from start of care up to 6 weeks postpartum Office prenatal appointments to be scheduled : Initial visioning appointment Prenatal visit at 34 weeks Biweekly from 36 weeks until you give birth Option for concurrent care Prenatal appointment in your home at approximately 36 weeks Labor, birth, and immediate postpartum period Postpartum checkup in your home approximately 48 hours after your birth An additional postpartum checkup in your home within the first week, Postpartum office visit at 6 weeks (Optional 4, 8, and 12 month emotional check ins) I support you with comfort measures in labor as well as clinical tasks such as vaginal exams, vitals assessment: blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and fetal heart rate monitoring, herbal & homeopathic support, optimal fetal positioning, rebozo manteada, nourishment support.

Lo antes posible! Pero algunas familias optan por comenzar su cuidado prenatal después de las 28 semanas de gestación, ya sea por no estar en la ciudad o cambio de seguro médico. En este caso, podemos colaborar en actualizarla en toda la educación, preparación, y estudios de laboratorio para estar listas al llegar el parto. Cuanto las familias comienzan su cuidado a partir del tercer trimestre, se agendan visitas prenatales más frecuentes, dependiendo de las circunstancias personales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1618601603140-LJ900R48RPNPX72RT8HA/50110021.JPG Español - Visitas Las visitas de cuidado prenatal duran típicamente de 45-90 minutos y abarcan las diferentes capas de experiencia con las cual enfrentamos el embarazo. Sin importar si este es tu primer o sexto embarazo, siempre hay mucho que descubrir. El cuidado prenatal va más allá que el chequeo de signos vitales, resultados de laboratorio, y escuchar el latido del corazón del bebe. Me gusta consultar cómo te sientes al integrarte a esta experiencia y como la dinámica familiar está cambiando. Es posible acordar un protocolo de herbolaria para fortalecer tu sistema inmunológico o trabajar con hierbas para la prevención y mitigación de algún síntoma de un embarazo anterior. El reconocimiento del trauma y el centrarse en la unidad familiar, son el centro de la atención que ofrezco, esto da a las familias el poder de decisión informada para elegir lo que mejor les funcione. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1618633357118-PTNC94KIFK5TUW54F8BR/Screenshot4.jpg Español - ¿Qué equipo trae la Partera? El concepto contemporáneo de Partería abarca el uso de herramientas que previamente no estaban disponibles a nuestras Parteras antecesoras. En California, la licencia de Partería permite utilizar equipo de oxígeno, suero, antibióticos, y otros medicamentos. Honramos a las generaciones previas, en especial a las Abuelas y Parteras Indígenas por preservar el conocimiento de la herbolaria y otras técnicas de apoyo. Si es que se presenta la necesidad durante el parto, estoy preparada para ofrecerte estas herramientas de apoyo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1618632878733-GBRUYVLTTMEOU8GMPUZO/2AA80A4D-3B30-4CF4-AE6B-AC4AA7E4A93E+copy.jpg Español - Parto Al acercarse la fase del parto, la visitaré semanalmente y nos mantendremos en comunicación constante. Un beneficio hermoso de una pequeña práctica de partería es que estoy disponible para una cantidad limitada de familias al mes, y siempre estoy a una llamada de teléfono para cualquier pregunta o preocupación, en especial durante el tiempo donde las señales de trabajo de parto pueden ser nebulosas.

It was through these losses that I experienced very different possibilities of care. I experienced slowness, patient advocacy, respect and warmth but also obstetrical trauma, coercion, and the coldness of a hospital bed without a loved one’s hand to hold. This deep loss led me through grief, rage and eventually impassioned action. At this point in my life I had been studying herbal medicine and learning about cultivars on the Klamath River, with Crimson Sage Nursery but had not yet begun clinical apprenticeship. I recognized that this passion for offering warmth through vulnerability was calling me, so I began to sit and pray for clarity around this path.

I will be seeing you weekly and we will be in close communication. A beautiful part of having a small Midwifery practice is that I am typically on call for only a few families per month and you can always call me if you have questions or concerns, but especially near this time, as labor signs can sometimes be nebulous. The keys to ease for each individual will be different but I encourage intentional rest, nourishment, and movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617170482154-BDVTXZ39FTS79PDIWESE/924BBE54-B494-4F68-9671-AC4EA67C4A50.jpeg Home Birth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617170502900-L48CZE6WUCGECKXLGFZX/IMG_9320.jpg Home Birth https://www.wovenmidwifery.com/holistic-gynecology daily 0.75 2021-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617397089020-FJ8OMUKTOUMAAGAE76R4/86E82617-8F4E-48D8-9A04-D5EE208D3D8A.jpg Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617171329564-SYFOXAZ3LP4VT3HVH8CL/IMG_9130.jpg Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617171471761-P43XF2CEOSXS8SBAVA1Y/static1.squarespace.png Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617171432323-KACTNOZ5IMUM7L38UUQ9/IEN-Banner-white-1-half-size.png Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617171511381-VAZRV2HY7WN0XZVRVVPA/clrj-logo-header3-300x150.png Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617170482154-BDVTXZ39FTS79PDIWESE/924BBE54-B494-4F68-9671-AC4EA67C4A50.jpeg Holistic Gynecology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606382bde2cd1a4e78e0910a/1617170502900-L48CZE6WUCGECKXLGFZX/IMG_9320.jpg Holistic Gynecology https://www.wovenmidwifery.com/faqs daily 0.75 2021-05-12
