I have started this post at least 10 times. Each time trying to get the perfect words to come rushing out of my fingers to enable you to feel the passion I feel about Becoming Earthside.  BE is more than just a website, more than me pushing merchandise and services on you, but a community I am determined to build. Not only as women, but as families, a community is needed to have judge-free, open, educated conversations about pregnancy, delivery, postpartum care, and even abortion, miscarriage and stillbirths. In today’s world we are overwhelmed with information that we sometimes forget what matters; and what matters is being! Stop dwelling, stressing, and over contemplating. You must have trust and faith in your journey.

The early beginnings of Becoming Earthside started when I became educated in the procedure of giving birth in a hospital. My newfound awareness of both the comforts and personal horrors that occur behind sterile doors lead me to the decision that I wanted to make some changes. I wanted to stress the idea of just being, and having that trust in ourselves. This is why my main concern is educating, supporting, and simply being there for you. Having that confidence in ourselves is the power we need, and I’m dedicated to instilling that power in anyone and everyone beginning a new Earthside journey.
