Made on Quadra Island??

Summer travel, work, studies....family, friends. Waiting waiting for my cycle to be late. It couldn't be this easy, could it?

A Little Voice.....

After spending a few years living and building our home on Quadra Island, the island of my husbands childhood, we decided to start our family. My first blog documents my first pregnancy, ending in a beautiful and fulfilling homebirth at my mother in laws house.

My second blog is written for my son, recording his first year of life and my transition into motherhood. 

With this transition, I moved away from my filmmaking work and delved deeply into everything perinatal which manifested into my becoming a Doula. I love being a mother at home but I also like to get out into the community and connect with pregnant and new mothers in such a way that I can assist with their own transitions into their new roles. And I know that in time I will pick up another camera and record what I have discovered along the way of empowering and supporting women in their childbearing years.

So with this fulfilled life I was not so sure I would have another child. My son is 2 and we are on a longish temporary hiatus in the city where my husband is in graduate school and I am working abit and building on my Doula skills. Life is great and full of joy so why would I ever want to disrupt it? 

And yet I feel so deeply the winds of change. A new adventure unfolds as I feel a gentle nudge from something higher than myself. I feel the warmth and joy of knowing that I am opening myself to this strong yet soft whisper of life unfolding. And my husband has felt this stirring as well. Its as if a little soul out there has chosen us and is waiting for us to accept its bright light into our family and our life....
