The Path to Midwifery
“When we birth, we birth twice. Once for us, and once for our child.”
Last year I enrolled in @whapio_and_thematrona ‘s year-long midwifery + birthkeeping school with the intention of diving deeper for the families I have the honor of sitting with. But once I began, I realized this wisdom wasn’t only meant to help me serve others deeper… it was also meant for me and my own journey.
This path taught me that midwifery is not just about supporting birth. It’s about how we move through life. How we respond instead of react. How we soften into the flow. How we tune into the mystical intelligence that guides us… because life is physical, yes, but it is also deeply spiritual.
Those who sit within these portals remember just how sacred life truly is. Having teachers like @whapio_and_thematrona and @badassbirthkeeper reaffirmed not only my calling to midwifery, but also to motherhood.
Being called into becoming a mother while sitting amongst 200+ wise ones felt like divine intervention. Had it not been for every birthkeeper I’ve crossed paths with along this journey, I truly believe my birth (my becoming/unbecoming) would have looked very different.
These recent graduations have completely shifted and elevated my life (and the lives of those I love) in the most profound and empowering ways… and I know this is only the beginning.
