The Childbearing Continuum (Fertility, Pregnancy, Pregnancy Releases, Birth, Postpartum, Menopause) can be quite daunting to say the least, as there is so much misinformation and fear mongering out there. 

​

I love sharing resources that allow us to weave our web of support, connection and community!

These are the resources and folks that I know, trust and tap into often when I am needing support or offering support to my community.​

​

This page is a living document and will be an ongoing and ever evolving community resource share, 

that you can return to again and again! Please let me know if links need updating. 

Disclaimer: I don't agree with everything that all of these folks share. And I bet you won't either. Use your intuition as to what resonates with you and leave the rest.

Resources are our web. They connect us, create resilience, community, empower sovereignty and weave our innate intelligence of remembering into strong foundations for thriving life.
