There were times over the past 20 years of being involved with the education of birth care providers and humans who are preparing to give birth that I felt I was mindful of being inclusive to people who have C-sections. However, after having been through it, I now see painfully clear how little I understood or provided in that way. It is in the Spirit of expansion that we offer you our newest Original Instructions certification program, My Sacred C-Section. In it we include training surrounding nutrition, comfort measures, scared tissue remediation, physical rehabilitation, general postpartum care, herbal allies, traditional ceremonial practices, and a road map to recovery for those who give birth via C-Section and their care providers.

They can struggle to connect with their own diverse clientele or fail to find an apprenticeship/internship which meets their needs.

Throughout the season(s) which for many brings darkness, cold, and at times illness it has long been crucial for the Human population to build relationships with plants which have immune boosting, and anti microbial properties. By incorporating seasonal Herbal Allies such as Citrus, Clove, Cinnamon, Cranberry, Juniper, Cedar, Holly, and Fir into our hearths and homes we have preserved these important immune boosting traditions of our Ancestors. One of my personal favorite ways of doing this is to make seasonal Yule Potpourri Baskets filled with dried a decorated Citrus, Clove, and Cinnamon. They act as a fun family craft, beautiful seasonal ta
