Hi friends!

I hope this autumn is finding you sinking into the changing season and enjoying the cooler weather!

Laughing Moon Midwifery relies heavily on word of mouth and we would greatly appreciate it if you would share a review of the experiences you had with us!

Online reviews help families find me and know the type of care they can expect to find with us. Not only that, but reviews help us grow as care providers, increasing our ability to serve families with even more dedicated care.

If you have given us reviews already, I am so thankful for your time and honest feedback!

All our love,

Erica, Bre, and Megan

Come sit with us and listen to some amazing stories!

We’re going back to the basics. Back to the circle. Be on the lookout for September’s flyer with the topic and the date.

Birth Stories is returning to its roots. Creating a space for parents, parents-to-be, babies, children, and caregivers to come together, ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another. Each month, we’ll gather around a different topic with conversation facilitated by trusted local professionals, including nurses, midwives, and lactation specialists.

No presentations. No pressure. Just real stories, real questions, real connections and a place for you in the circle.

We’re excited to bring Birth Stories back to the heart of what it was created to be, and we can’t wait to share the topics and conversations coming over the next several months.

Free • Babies & children welcome • No registration required

Come as you are. There is a place for you in the circle.

My practice quietly turned 9 years old last month. Nine years. Crazy to think that I’ve been in birthwork for 15 years, 9 of them running a rural, solo practice midwifery business. And real talk, some days I don’t know how much I have left in me. Not because I’ve grown tired of birth but because being a professional in a world that treats you like you are a danger is exhausting. Not because I’ve lost passion for the birthdyad but because when you have to continually chase reimbursement for one of the most time consuming careers, one that you pour your entire being into, you grow weary to continue. Not because I have stopped believing in the power of families or the safety of physiological birth, but because to show up outside of mainstream medicine is a constant, quiet act of protest and I am tired.

But every time I feel jaded, exhausted, scared, ready to “retire” from birth work…the birth dyad reminds me why I am here. I don’t have words for how it feels to be a community midwife…because there are no words to encapsulate the love, the passion, the reverence, the exhaustion, the dedication, the fear. It’s like a salted caramel, all rolled into one sticky, sweet, delicious morsel and all you can do is let it melt in your mouth.

Reading reviews from my clients leaves me wanting to do this work until I’m old and gray and my community stops calling…I want to be here until they let me go, just as they called me in. It makes me want to dig deeper, never leaving families without someone who believes in them, in their ability to birth their baby physiologically, on their terms, in their full power, in the comfort and safety of where they call home. It makes me want to continue my silent protest forever.

Being a midwife sometimes feels no longer like a choice…but a requirement to fulfill the reason I was put on this earth. It feels bigger than me and I don’t know how one can escape its gravitational hold and honestly I don’t know if I want to. 📸: Breanna Kitchen Photography

Join us tomorrow at the Nest for our monthly circle.

This month’s theme is Other Than a Mother- who you are outside of being a parent.

Raising kiddos to be well-rounded humans is HARD and parents can get lost in that.

Come hang out, talk about kid things and non-kid things, and connect with other parents!!

Continuity of care x2 x2.

This is one of the deepest layers of midwifery.

The continuation of care across years.

I have had the immense honor of being these sister’s midwives two times, with a relationship that spans almost 5 years.

I have gotten to know them and their family. I have watched their children grow, their confidence grow, their families grow. And within that time, they too, have become my “family.” I care about them and their children deeply.

There is not much that compares to being with humans as they become mothers, but being with them as their families grow and generations spiral out into the future is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Midwifery is more than clinical care. It’s deep and wide and connects us at a spiritual level. Their wellbeing is tied to my wellbeing and I am dedicated to ensuring they are always healthy, vibrant and supported.

When you care for families over years…there is a connection that is bigger than just a “business”relationship.

This is something that the industrial birth complex cannot facilitate or comprehend & something they don’t want you to know; that this level of deep, intuitive care exists.

You are not just a number to me, you are someone I love and care about and I am honored to be your midwife.
