Your path to parenthood is YOURS. No one can tell you any different.
It is not my job to tell you how to do it, rather to lovingly remind you of your OWN innate wisdom and strength.
Birth is a sacred Rite of Passage, as potent and powerful as any Hero's Journey.
This journey deserves DEEP respect, honor, and presence.
I humbly offer my guidance on your path into Birth Sovereignty, Radical Empowerment, and Womb Wisdom.
I serve women who are ready to take responsibility for their births, and trust in the innate intelligence of female physiology, at HOME and away from fear.

I'm Gabriella, Traditional Birthkeeper and Freebirth advocate.
My years of serving women and birth have taught me that birth is not to be feared or managed. That birth actually functions most optimally when the Mother is able to birth according to her own pace, free from fear and control. This is why I felt confident in my decision to have a freebirth, at home, with only my husband by my side. After experiencing the raw and primal power of birth on my own terms, I am even more fiercely passionate about supporting women in their choice to reclaim their innate authority over their bodies, their births, and their lives. I will never judge a woman for whatever choices she makes as a mother. After experiencing the excruciating intensity of childbirth unmedicated, I now know why so many women feel fear, or choose to seek out medical intervtions.. It is the most intense thing a woman can feel, and not everyone feels ready to do it alone. I understand the fear of pain, and have great compassion for those who ask for help. I am not interested in making women feel inadequate for any of their decisions in birth. I am interested in questioning the assumption that just because birth is hard, that that means women are incapable of doing it. |

Placenta MedicineMany have found that ingesting one's placenta in Postpartum had greatly reduced their experience of Postpartum Depression as well as hemorrhage.
Many have also found it also elevated their mood and energy levels, as placenta offers a strong dose of Iron and Stem Cells. I offer Encapsulations, Tinctures, Burial Ceremonies, and Prints. |

Mother Blessing CeremoniesMotherhood is a Sacred Rite of Passage, one worthy of honor and respect. One way of celebrating your Pregnancy journey is by gathering all your closest friends, sisters, relatives to elevate you into the role of Mother. Ritualizing the passage into Motherhood is an ancient and cross-cultural tradition that is just as healing as it is fun!

Remember this, for it is as true as true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth as well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body.

The health of our World is directly reflected in how we treat those most deserving of respect and praise. The World will heal once Mothers are elevated into their rightful place of power: as the life-givers, as the Center of all Culture and Life.
As soon as Woman's innate authority over Birth is reinstated, the World will be nourished, from conception onward. |
