Join your hosts Lea and Sophia as they interview Stephanie in safety swim. They discuss the safety protocols and the float, swim, breath holding rhythm.  Stephanie became aware of the ISR program after having almost lost her three year old daughter in a non-fatal drowning accident in her parent's pool.  Up until that time, her daughter had taken eight months of private and semi-private lessons at the local community center.  After her daughter's accident, Stephanie realized she had learned no actual safety skills or swimming techniques.  Her daughter learned that water could be fun, but not that it could be dangerous.  Play-based swim lessons only gave her a false sense of security in the water.  Three months later, Stephanie enrolled her in the ISR program, along with her one and a half year old baby brother.  She was worried about her daughter experiencing trauma getting her back in the water so soon after her accident, but after a couple weeks of tears and a bit of resistance her daughter started enjoying the water again as she learned how to float and swim independently.  Her young son also learned how to independently find his float and maintain that float by the end of the session.  It was an incredibly emotional process for the family, but so rewarding seeing her children master these incredible skills! Stephanie wanted to make sure no parent ever had to reckon with a life or death drowning situation again in her community, so she became a Certified ISR Instructor in 2020.  Her favorite part of lessons is when parents get to swim with their children at the end of the session.  It all comes together for each family, and the children are so excited to show off their skills to their parents!

Sophia is interviewed on Our power is Within: “Sophia is a radical birth keeper and authentic Midwife. She is also my bestie. Sophia has her own midwifery practice in Sonoma County California. Prior to becoming a midwife she spent many years as a doula, helping to advocate for women's birthing experience. She empowers her families through extensive education, giving them choice, and encouraging them to make their own decisions around how they would like their pregnancy and birthing experience to be. She is a wife and mother of 2 children of her own. She shares with us today all about empowered birth, what that means, and how it can look. Often we don't even realize we have options and are able to make different choices, and today she talks about some of the choices we are actually able to make.

Suzzie Vehrs, doula, childbirth educator and your biggest fan. I believe one thing: that you deserve a beautiful, powerful, unforgettable birth. The truth is, I wasn’t always a fan of the idea of giving birth. When I had my first child, I was busily building my career at an investment bank and knew nothing about birth. I didn’t know what I wanted, was pulled in a million different directions and ultimately learned many lessons the hard way. By my second child, I learned to define my vision and go after it to really create a memorable day. This sparked a passion in me supporting moms through the humbling and beautiful experience of birth.   After years of practicing as a doula and attending over 100 births, I decided to create a childbirth course that would help moms be totally ready for birth by giving actionable tools to use to move through anxiety, proper nutrition and exercises to support your body through the demands of pregnancy and give you real tools to reduce and cope with pain. My passion is bringing confidence and skills to moms preparing for births of all types.

David has been in Law since 1984 and teaching the protections of the private domain for over 37 years now and the constitution for over 26 years, however David is not a licensed attorney. As you come to gain a better understanding of the private domain you'll also come to understand why he has never been a licensed attorney. If he had followed through on that path he would have restrictions of public law imposed and wouldn't be able to do what he does now. He chose to forego those restrictions and have the freedom to teach what used to be common knowledge but is no longer openly taught.

Join your hosts Sophia and Nina for an interview with local midwife, Tracy Lough.  They discuss her work at Thrive Birth Center, her home birth services in LA, precipitous birth, rural midwifery, and kids at births. Tracy Lough, LM, CPM When I was growing up, I yearned to serve my community in a way that would bring children love and peace while fostering a connection to nature. In college I came across a book called Midwives; after reading it I felt deeply called to one day birth my own baby with a midwife. I got married, moved to Yellowstone National Park for a time, and then became an elementary school teacher in LA Unified School District. When my daughter was born at home I was forever changed. My midwifery journey began the moment I lifted her into my arms: I felt inspired to empower parents to educate themselves about the choices they have around birth. Nine years later, my third child was born swiftly into the hands of my oldest daughter, with her sister and my husband by my side. Welcoming siblings into the pregnancy and birth experience is a passion of mine.For years I taught Bradley Method Childbirth classes and hypnobirthing out of my home, educating women and couples about natural childbirth. My formal education began with Elizabeth Davis' Heart and Hands course, and continued with the National Midwifery Institute. As I studied, I apprenticed with a busy home birth practice in Los Angeles. In 2010, I traveled to Bali, Indonesia with my family to work at the internationally recognized Bumi Sehat Birth Clinic under the guidance of Robin Lim – winner of CNN’s 2011 Hero Award. I am now a Licensed Midwife (LM) under the Medical Board of California and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).I am the founder of The Birth Yurt, Humboldt County’s first out-of-hospital birthing option. The yurt, on my 5-acre homestead in the redwoods, served as a sacred space for women and families to birth in. Together, my husband and I also offered the community a Waldorf-inspired, outdoor nature preschool on the property. Many of the babies born in the yurt later attended our school, where I had the privilege of watching them play and grow.I am committed to providing a safe space for women who choose to birth out of the hospital. I value building relationships of mutual trust with families through relaxed prenatal visits and meaningful care. I am certified in IV therapy and Neonatal Resuscitation, and bring knowledge of homeopathy and herbalism to my work with families. I am currently deepening my studies of craniosacral therapy with the Upledger Institute in order to continue providing healing for the babies and families I work with.I am based in Occidental, CA and enjoy spending time with my family in the redwoods. I am currently writing a book called The Birth Yurt, which I hope will bring harmony and change to our birth culture through stories and education. My work is so much more than a job - it is my calling and passion. I am thrilled to be part of Sonoma County, to continue welcoming babies in with a loving and gentle beginning.
