“The journey of participating in Gena’s Birth Spirituality and Healing Coach Series has been a personal and professional healing experience for me. It has both helped me to remember the gifts given to me from my ancestors and how to integrate them and bring them forth into this world so hungry for healing.”

Solidarity Statement
My ancestors are Romanian Jewish, Irish and English. My Irish ancestors were farmers and come from a history of suffering under British imperialism and Irish upper class oppression. My Romanian Jewish ancestors were traders and experienced pograms, the holocaust and racism.
I am a white person who is involved in ongoing healing of the intergenerational trauma in my body from the abuse my white ancestors experienced and ongoing learning of how to recognize my own white privilege and not act it out.
Since 1969, I have used my body and privilege to support movements to transform the inner and outer structures of racism, classism, sexism, and our disconnections from our bodies and the earth.
Today, I continue to stand in solidarity with: Black Mothers and Babies’ Lives Matter, Indigenous movements, Black Lives Matter, BIPOC and others’ struggles and victories for reparations/rematriatians, land back demands, economic justice and earth care.
I pay tax to the Sogorea Te land trust to honor that I live and work on the occupied lands of the Miwok Ohlone Peoples and to honor their work to restore their lands and people's ceremonies.
I contribute to the Amah Mutson land trust to honor my friendship with this tribe and their efforts to bring right relationships and healing for all of our relations.
May we heal together.
