Matrescent Medicine

About Matrescent Medicine

Welcome to the Matrescent Medicine stories, hosted by Gemma Michelle of Wyld Birth. This is a space to sit at the feet of mothers and their physiological postpartum stories as our ancestors always have. A space to sip from the wisdom of their journey through Matrescence. These conversations are in deep devotion to reorienting the cultural narrative of postpartum back to its primal blueprint: a rite of passage we are designed for. Together we will return to the innate wisdom, reverence, nourishment, and alchemy available to us through the lens of physiological, primal, and ceremonial motherhood.

   Postpartum as a Holy Invitation Into Deeper Healing & Repatterning With Kayla Dawn Morin

   In this episode I am joined by Kayla Dawn Morin. Kayla is a mother of 1 and birth keeper holding space for women to heal their wounds so that we can live our true baseline–– peace & pleasure, embodied. She runs an online community with monthly women's circles called Women of Earth, a call for us to remember our true elemental nature, and the incredible power of healing & connection within our selves. Kayla also holds space for wild pregnancy, free birth preparation, birth story processing, and offers closing of the bones ceremonies. She says, "my work is Metabolizing Mother, on all levels," and she loves to host a good alchemizing rage dance party. She is a sky box city dweller and water element. Find her on Instagram @womenofearth (https://www.instagram.com/womenofearth_?igsh=bWdkOTloeWVrY3h2)_ and on her website at womenofearthbirth.com (http://womenofearthbirth.com) In this conversation Kayla speaks to her transformation from the maiden tending to postpartum to the embodiment of mother and how that has shifted her understanding of this work, sacred discernment in what we want to ingest and metabolize in this immediate threshold, postpartum as a holy invitation to deeper healing at a cellular level and anchoring our intentions, and the wisdom available to us as we tune into the true needs of our unique motherbaby nervous system beyond our ideals.

   Devotion to The Sacred in Postpartum Through Life and Death with Noël Ruth

   Today I am joined by Noël Ruth. Noël is a Mother, Poet, Author, Women's Circle Facilitator, and the Creator of Saga - a global web of Storytellers creating wholeness on Earth through writing, voice, lineage, and community. Noël guides women along the sacred writer path into elevated creative landscapes, where living words are born and will heal the world. She facilitates online writing circles, themed writing groups, and a Women Writer's Council where oracular storytelling is embodied and practiced with devotion in community. Noël is Mama to her firstborn daughter, Edda, who went back to the spirit realm shortly after birth, and Astraea, who was just born in June. She lives on a rural island off the coast of Maine, where she channels her own writings about the divine feminine, death, birth, life, land, and sea. This conversation was truly one of the most the most rich and medicinal I have ever had. The landscapes she brings us to in her motherpath through both life and death is such a prayer I held for this space. Noël speaks to her freebirth and postpartum experience after the passing of her first daughter, her experience of communing with her wise spirit, receiving community support through this deathgate, the birth and postpartum of her daughter who chose to walk with her in life, and what it means to hold our men to protecting and tending to these sacred portals as mothers birthing culture.

   Weaving The Threads of Postpartum Medicine Into Our Daily Lives With Kjelti Katherine

   In this episode I am joined by my dear sister Kjelti Katherine. Kjelti is a mother to two beautiful earth rooted starlings - her son Era and daughter Aven. Her journey through Matrescence in the last five years has drawn her to the deep well of her own becoming as Mother. She sees the mother-child relationship as fertile & generative ground for tending to the new earth we long for in our hearts. She also handcrafts an array of beautiful herbal medicines for women and mothers on the childbearing continuum with a special focus on postpartum repletion remedies. We hear the medicine, the fire walk, and the ecstasy of her two postpartum experiences. We discuss staying present with the altered state of postpartum as the foundation to our motherhood and how to weave the thread of that magic into our daily lives. Kjelti’s story touches into the grief and medicine of holding boundaries in our communities, the ceremony of being witnessed in the 5th trimester, and planning for the physical pieces of our postpartum nourishment as a container for the energetic alchemy to innately unfold.

   Postpartum As The Foundation Of Nourished Motherhood With Nicole Parker

   In this episode I am joined by Nicole Parker. Nicole is a mother of four, keeper of sacred postpartum, and embodied motherhood guide. She believes that we are meant to be well nourished as mothers, and that by surrendering to the brilliant design of our bodies, we can reclaim the inherent gift of vibrant, sustainable, flourishing motherhood. She walks with women all along the continuum of motherhood, preconception and beyond, as they revive and restore this truth for themselves. We dive into the stories of her 4 postpartum experiences and discuss the vastly different life circumstances and resources available to her after each baby and how she maintained the same frequency of euphoric and receptive nourishment through each one. We explore practical ways of returning to primal motherhood in the modern world, nourished postpartum after birth trauma, if postpartum rest is “all or nothing”, integration back into the “normal world” after your sacred bubble, avoiding rupture from older children in postpartum, beauty as nourishment, and the capacity to hold so much duality in postpartum as the foundational gift for your motherhood in years to come. We also discuss Nicole’s offerings in the world and how they have deeply impacted my postpartum and motherhood experience.
