In this beautiful and heartfelt episode I share my conversation with Aries powerhouse, Marissa Baumgartner.
Marissa is the founder of Native Women's Wellness Movement LLC and descends from the Young Chief lineage of the Cayuse peoples. Marissa's work centers around inter-generational healing and restoring women's work, with an emphasis in Indigenous communities. As an INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioner she created Hummingbird Wisdom Women's Care where she intends to serve the needs of her community. She is the mother of two young children and spends her time in the garden, on the river, and with her family.
In this episode we get into:
The womb-to-tomb work of the traditional midwife within an intact culture
The professionalization of birth and care work
The fracturing and loss of wise womb ways and reclaiming the medicine of womanhood
Creating safety and autonomy for women in all birthing settings — both at home and in the hospital
The difference between mothering a daughter and mothering a son
Enjoy!
