My Philosophy
Earth

My philosophy in supporting birthing people is simple; support the birthing person in their choices, beliefs and rights. Within my capabilities I am able to provide evidence-based resources and support whenever requested. I believe birth to be a natural physiological event that any person regardless of body type or gender identity is capable of.

 

Being an inclusive birthworker to me means fully supporting ALL birthing people and always recognizing the hardships that birthing people face. I aim to uplift and support trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people so that they may empower themselves fully during gestation and birth. In addition I recognize my space and impact as a white birthworker in a world that ignores the rampant racial disparities of birth. Reproductive Justice is vital and essential to keeping birthing people and their babies alive.  

I'm so happy you are here! Currently I am navigating my own personal journey of parenthood with my 7 month old. There are magical things in the works for Gaia Rhythms and the future of my personal birth and gestational work. Please stay tuned as I transition into my new role. I look forward to serving our community again soon <3 

Love,

Jean
