Moonbow Farms

i am a midwife, herbalist + farmer of food and plant medicine, growing most of the plants that i work with since 2018 in my first medicine garden, in the wild backyard of a little cottage that was home in san francisco. i now cultivate + tend some land on a farm in sonoma county, a project including the creation of an off-the-grid tiny home for my family and the work of transforming what was a horse + cow pasture into a regenerative (of soil + soul) growing farm, with nearly two acres devoted to medicinal herbs, fruits + vegetables, pastured chickens + eggs. a choice and a blessing to heal while connecting with people to assist in their nourishment + evolution. i love to make medicine, to connect people to plants, to connect with people + plants through midwifery, and to write about and make art with plants. one of my favorite things is to meet a new plant, or deepen with one i’ve already met- their souls + communications are always there, something new to listen to. the energy of the plants is as potent as the physical medicine. honoring these observations, relationships and stories through words, carvings, block prints, and pressed plant art are a pure love. i have deepened with plant medicine through growing from seed to harvest for years now (an always evolving relationship) and also- through shamanic, energetic, alchemical and astrological devotions. through these lenses, I sit with plants, with people, listen, and craft medicine. my practice includes individual midwifery sessions for anyone, at any point in life, that would like to make connection, work through a transition, celebrate with witness, grieve with company, question and transcend the systems, self-resource, touch your own divinity and unique medicine, all through the vast scape + deepest roots of midwifery. i work with this homegrown and wild crafted plant medicine as catalyst for relationship + healing. through these sessions and conversations, i custom blend a tea or tincture specific to your body, soul + current needs, to tend with for the weeks following our time together. midwifery is not just for birthing people. it is for everyone. through the era of peri-menopause and menopause, relating to this arc of life as medicine itself. for all the years that follow- of shedding + settling while continuing to become. in adolescence when wanting to understand the body, cycles, blood and power of self. when working through or with a significant life shift or creative birth and seeking witness for that process and integration. when walking through a fertility journey. or desiring to be held through a pregnancy loss. and yes in pregnancy. and birth. and after birth in the weeks, months and years of rearranged and expanded existence + change of self and identity. at the end of life, anticipated or unexpected, with at-home death midwifery care, home vigil, and intimate home funeral ceremony. these are all ways i midwife. i am also a single mother to a teenager and two big kids, i am a taiko drummer, i love to make time in my life for hikes + plant walks, hot water soaks, drumming rehearsals, working on a personal writing project that’s becoming a book, and leaning in to any new herbs or food i can attempt to grow on the farm. i thank my great grandma ruth for the soulful gardener that she was, how this runs through and connects us, how i will always harvest raspberry leaves with her on my heart, how her impact touches my children when they go out to pick the blueberries or discover, with reverence, another patch of nettles. working with britt was so sacred, more than words.  she helped me actually begin to heal in a few months what i had been struggling with for years, with medicine and what she showed me about the healing nature of relationship. what i can say is this.  i have never felt so seen and listened to in my care.  this is healing work. i found britt late in my pregnancy, at 37 weeks.  i was having trouble finding someone that was comfortable
