Glimmer
birth
As unique as it’s founder, Glimmer Birth has been years in the making and arrived at the perfect time. Get to know a little more on how we came to be and what you can expect around here.
passionate about holistic health, natural birth and motherhood, i knew it was time to launch a place for women to confidently journey from pregnancy through birth and into postpartum. Glimmer birth was born.
So there I am, 42 and newly pregnant with my 3rd baby. I was blown away at how my commitment to optimal health had me so fertile at an age where the world would have me think pregnancy was impossible. Then it hit me, I have no idea how to be pregnant and approach it from an all natural, integrative way. I’d never done it before.
In my 20s when I had my first two children, I was oblivious to anything other than mainstream norms when it came to my health. I had done every fad diet and workout, and when I became pregnant I did all I knew to do, call my doctor, get a referral to an OBGYN and do as I was told.
While that was enough in my 20s, at 42 it definitely wasn’t. It wasn’t what was best nor what aligned. So sitting there realizing while this was my third pregnancy it was in fact a first I started researching. Man was I shocked at how hard it was to find information that aligned with my values and beliefs realizing how far from the norm I truly was. I wanted to trust my body and health fully. I wanted natural solutions without use of western medicine.
I wanted to understand the natural essence of my powerful female body knowing God designs us to be mothers.
Well man did I learn a lot and man did it take something to find what I was looking for.
Fast forward to delivery day when our beautiful Gabriella arrived. The feeling I felt as I lay in bed, at home, having delivered her quickly, without any intervention or induction or pain meds or tears, I felt unstoppable, proud, elated, filled with joy, peace and gratitude. I knew I had to take this feeling and pay it forward to as many women as I could.
I lay in bed holding our bundle of perfection thinking to myself how can I take this moment and spread it far and wide. The answer hit me - become a doula.
With a long history in personal development, integrative health, entrepreneurship and coaching I quickly fell in love with the idea of educating myself in depth and launching a place where woman could come and find what I had such a hard time finding.
Information to support an unmedicated natural birth from pregnancy through postpartum.
Glimmer birth was born. Although in that moment it wouldn’t yet be glimmer birth but the essence of what’s here today had been birthed.
As I was working through my coursework I was scrolling Instagram and a post crossed my path. It had been posted by @nutritionschool (whom I hold in high regard as I trained there as a coach) and it said “Glimmer - a moment that brings peace joy hope and gratitude” I was like “YES! THIS!”
How beautiful the thought of woman around the world, once pregnant (or trying to conceive) approaching it from the space of creating glimmer throughout. Of focusing on the beauty that my nature is motherhood. Of creating a pregnancy, birth and postpartum plan that anchored itself in moments of peace joy hope and gratitude.
Glimmer birth was born and the space it holds birthed.
So when I think of how to adequately respond to an “about glimmer birth” prompt all I can say is this -
It’s time to shift how we view motherhood and our journey to it. It’s a time we are designed to navigate and a time where we deserve education, empowerment, confidence to meet our divine design with peace joy and gratitude.
