“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
Since 1969, I have used my body and my privilege to follow the lead of community BIPOC social justice activists. Today, I continue to stand in solidarity with Indigenous movements, Black Lives Matter, and BIPOC struggles and victories for reparations/rematriatians, land back demands, and economic justice.
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.
I stand against all forms of racism and other forms of systemic oppression. I continue my personal journey of actively learning how to be a co-conspirator while dismantling my own white privilege. I stand against the patriarchy and for the liberation of all people and see my work as one part of intersectional feminism. Women and queer people have the right to birth babies without fear of being targeted with violence because of the color of their skin, and they have the right to birth free of violence and racism in the birth room. BIPOC have the right to raise children without the fear they will be shot, jailed or targeted because of the color of their skin. May we all create a world where mothers and families are treated with reverence, respect and love.
