Join us in celebration and fellowship at our community Mother Blessing.  A Mother Blessing is an alternative to a baby shower, an event to mark the passage a woman makes to motherhood for the first time or each subsequent time she adds a new life to her family.

All women are welcome…pregnant, postpartum, doula or other birthworkers or any women or mothers who want to offer support, enjoy one another’s company and bask in the warm, loving birthy glow.

We will  honor the mothers who came before us, sing, pamper our mothers-to-be and other guests with henna, foot rubs and shoulder massages, weave a web of support and end it all sharing a delicious meal together.

Babies 6 months or younger are welcome.  Please make alternative arrangements for older babies, toddlers and children.

Please bring a potluck item to share. Sparkly non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, tea, a celebratory cake  and gluten-free treat will be provided.

Text your RSVP to   Erin at e 612-508-0584 or email me at midwife.erin@outlook.com

Special Event: Flower Essences and Healing During Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum and Beyond

Posted in local events, What's New? by

You’ve probably heard of Rescue Remedy for use during times of high stress, anxiety or panic, but do you know that Rescue Remedy is a formula comprised of flower essences?  Flower essences are safe, gentle natural remedies, that are related to homeopathic remedies and are used to focus on healing for the mind, spirit and psyche.  Becoming pregnant, carrying a baby, birthing and becoming a mother for the first time or adding a new baby to a family are profoundly transformative times. Flower essences can be a wonderful tool for working with the many feelings and issues that come up during this special time.

santosha flower essences

Come learn all about flower essences – a profound yet underutilized natural healing modality – with Jaime Fleres-Mizejewski, founder of Santosha Birth and Wellness, a Saint Paul based wellness resource.  Learn about the healing energy of flowers, why they make such an amazing source of support for the childbearing season (and beyond), and how to add them to your home health care toolkit.  During our gathering, we will talk about and sample a handful of flower essences that particularly shine in their support of women through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, as well as babies.  Jaime will leave time to answer your questions and make custom remedies upon request (for an additional fee).  Learn more about Santosha at SantoshaMama.com.

More about Core and Pelvic Floor!

Posted in local events, What's New? by

Back by popular demand, Sally Rye, will join us at Geneabirth on Thursday, June 25th at 10 am for a movement based workshop. We learned so much from Sally last month about what’s going on with our seperated ab muscles and “weak” pelvic floors.  We’ve asked Sally to come back and lead a group in learning and performing exercise that will help you on your journey of understanding and healing your body after birth and having a healthy body throughout your entire lifecycle.

Move It 101: find your core & more

In this movement-based class, learn techniques & exercises to re-connect with your core & pelvic floor. Find your TVA muscle and your glutes, and perform a magic trick called “co-contraction.” We will learn how to sit, squat & how to walk! Wear your yoga pants & bring 2 towels.

About Sally:  Sally Rye developed her expertise about abs, pelvic floors, diastasis recti, and umbilical hernias over the past decade, inspired by her own body’s experience in these areas.  Sally loves to share her knowledge and finds entertaining ways to inform about this taboo topic, empowering women to pursue effective remedies.  She recently closed her decade-old diastasis and lives in Minneapolis with her husband, three children, and nine backyard chickens.sally rye
