]]> Comment on Nurturing the Nurturer by Kirsten http://sistersmidwifery.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/nurturing-the-nurturer/#comment-15 Kirsten Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:08:34 +0000 http://sistersmidwifery.wordpress.com/?p=22#comment-15 I know that when I'm feeling healthy, well-rested and fed, I'm a better mother. Running on fumes, like all moms do, makes being a nurturer a very difficult job. I know that when I’m feeling healthy, well-rested and fed, I’m a better mother.

When you look at our web site, it explains some of what I do, but it does go much deeper. 97% of my clients cannot afford cb classes or a doula. I am non profit, so I raise the money to help the women that we work with. I have started a program in one of our jails where we teach cb and parenting but we also are allowed to go to their birth. I hit my wall a little over 2 months ago and had to stop everything. I mean everything. I did not like it. Felt like a failure. Had to cancel many engagements. I am back to work doing 1/2 days and taking 2 days off. (this started last week - I am praying it will stick). I don't this this message gets out enough to women who are midwives, doulas, educators. If we do not take care of ourself, we cannot take care of our moms, but even more important, our family. Thank you for writing this and I am glad my friend came across it!

This is to celebrate the IDM on May 5th. Can you think of someone? If so, I'd love to hear from you.
