Let's be honest, sex education did not prepare us for this reality.
Relationships are complicated; sex is complicated. I am not here to judge you on the ways you do or don't fit in the societal boxes. I am here to help you figure out your needs and how to effectively get them met.

The Birth Haven at LifeSpring Midwifery Offering midwifery, water birth, and well-woman care. Our Mission Statement Our mission is to provide quality midwifery care to women and infants, a place for building community for families, education on healthy living, and serve as a training facility for other midwives to be educated and create more opportunities for these same things to be made available in their communities. Our Philosophy Our philosophy is that women are capable and strong; that their bodies are capable and strong; that pregnancy and birth is a well-tuned process; that we are the end result of countless generations of successful births and we have inherited this as our birthright from our foremothers; that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is a closed system and introducing interference in this system introduces risk; that midwives work first and foremost for the woman and her baby; that a high touch, low tech approach is usually the safest for the woman and her baby; and that a woman can be given all the benefits and risks and accept what is best for herself and her family.

Discover the effectiveness of an experienced body-based therapist for individuals and couples with life and relationship problems. Bonding Psychotherapy incorporates the power of touch and emotional expression to release historic blockages, and liberate energy for personal and relationship growth. This is different from bodywork as there is no massage table in our offices. Individual and couples therapy are complemented with group therapy sessions which incorporate therapeutic touch and deep emotional expression. Together, these modalities help people to release and discover useful emotional material that can be consolidated with the talk therapy.

Birth is a process. Birth is normal. Birth is political. Birth is beautiful. The phrase 'bread and roses' comes from a 1912 textile strike in which Rose Schneiderman cried "The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too." This phrase has been used for over a century by feminists and activists, meaning that we want our sustenance but we also want beauty and we want both without compromise. Midwifery is the fight for autonomy over normal life processes, specifically during the childbearing years. The universal midwifery tradition is to build practices based on reciprocity, continuity of care, consent, and support. Midwives work to maintain natural life cycles through community-based knowledge and love. We labor for access to safer options and better outcomes with self determination over our own bodies and communities. We take a holistic view of family through a social context, and work to create open and dynamic spaces and roles for ourselves and each other. This must include continuing education, expertise in counseling, and playing supportive roles during normal, healthy, and safe childbirth experiences. This is the struggle of midwifery. "Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too."
