A beautiful ad featuring homebirth April 18, 2009

Well, Jenny’s workshop weekend was flipping fabulous but as I have the flu right now, I’ll save the details for another post. Thought I’d share this lovely ad which features a homebirth. It’s so beautiful….imagine if ad’s like this aired in Australia?!?

Happenings March 29, 2009

Well, life has been rather busy with studying and mama-ing and everything in between! Recently, I’ve been attending monthly meet ups with fellow birthworkers and getting so much out of it!

Maternity Services Review February 22, 2009

Sorry for the absence. I’ve been quite busy delving into all things birth and study, study, studying. It’s been a bit of an inward time for me as I work on my birth reflection assignment and slowly chip away at the pieces that make up the whole in that experience. I’m not going to write [...]

Soaking up wisdom January 27, 2009

I have started my studies with Childbirth International now and am finding it quite interesting to say the least.

What’s surprising me is this is [...]

Beginning January 26, 2009

So, I thought I would introduce my new blog devoted to my  journey with birth “work” (can you call it that when it’s so completely inspiring and interesting? Hardly seems like work!). What better time than now, whilst my learning is in it’s embryonic stages? I’ve always been a champion for informed choice and have [...]
