Crossing the Threshold - Ashke and Ian's Beautiful Home Birth Story
Our lovely friends Ashke and Ian join us today from the end of their sacred window to tell us the story of their son, Cedar's birth.
It is such a joy to hear their story of conscious conception, Ashke's new adventure into studying birth education with Birthing From Within, how Ian's relationship with home birth interfaced with his job as an EMT (such a special crossover), culminating in a fast and healing birth.
We talk about the difference between bypassing fear and choosing to face it head on, dealing with external expectations and pressure with humor and grace, and postpartum cooking as community building.
It's been so beautiful to walk with Ashke as she enters the childbearing spiral, and grows into a beautiful mother. She has been one of the biggest champions of our work with Wise Woman, Sacred Birth, and we are so looking forward to what the future holds for their beautiful family.
You can find Ashke's work with herbal medicines - Maka Pejuta
and on Instagram.
