Woven Episode 14: Failure to Thrive: The Birth Story that Changed Our Family
<p>In this episode of Woven in the Body, Jess and Bruce Ridge share their family’s healing journey after their daughter Anthem, now going by the name Beniyanna, was born in January 2020 following a planned home birth that transferred to a hospital, a 33-hour labor, and an unplanned C-section. Jess describes leaving the hospital with debilitating migraines and years of head and neck pain, intense nervous system dysregulation, depression and anxiety, and the isolation of early COVID while returning to high-intensity remote work and nursing with little sleep. Their daughter was labeled with “failure to thrive" at the age of 2, with doctors recommending invasive procedures despite normal test results, prompting the family to seek alternative support. Jess explains how she found Christiana’s work through somatic and pre/perinatal psychology referrals and chose to try it before pursuing further medical interventions. </p><p>The conversation details the therapy process, including “belly messages,” trauma-informed birth story processing with a retired midwife who reviewed hospital records, distance craniosacral therapy sessions over Zoom, and online play-based sessions with Beniyanna that explored embodied cues and family dynamics. Bruce shares his experience of feeling disconnected and “outside the tribe,” how exploring his own birth history of immediate separation from his mother contributed to long-standing patterns of making himself small, and how therapy supported reconnection and bonding—highlighted by Beniyanna inviting him into a shared play fort. They discuss gaps in postpartum care, the emotional impacts of birth interventions, the need for village-like support for mothers and fathers, and barriers to access, including systemic inequities. The episode closes with reflections on improvements in Jess’s pain and regulation, Beniyana’s growth and thriving, and the family’s sense of hope and ongoing healing.</p><p>00:00 Welcome to Woven in the Body + How to Find Us</p><p>00:28 Why We Left Boston: New Baby, City Stress & COVID Lockdown</p><p>03:49 ‘Failure to Thrive’ Scare: Medical Pressure vs. What Felt True</p><p>08:23 The Birth Story: Homebirth Plan, Hospital Transfer & C‑Section After 33 Hours</p><p>10:44 Postpartum Fallout: Migraines, No Sleep, Work Stress & Nervous System Dysregulation 12:34 Finding Somatic Support: Saying No to Invasive Tests & Reaching Out for Help</p><p>14:27 Therapy Approach: Start With the Parent’s Field Before Working With the Child</p><p>16:31 Belly Messages: Rewriting the Narrative & Speaking to Baby as Conscious</p><p>22:25 Processing the Birth With the Midwife: Records, Clarity, and Being Held</p><p>26:32 Big Picture: C‑Sections, PTSD Risk, and the Postpartum Support We’re Missing</p><p>32:50 Zoom Play Therapy With Beana: Intense Sessions, Energy Shifts, and Breakthroughs 35:53 Reading the Child’s Body: Somatic Cues in Play Therapy</p><p>37:16 “Dad Out to Sea”: The Pain of Disconnection & Rebuilding Bonds</p><p>40:11 Tracing the Pattern Back: Birth Trauma, Separation, and Making Yourself Small</p><p>44:16 Rewriting the Story: Prenatal/Implantation Journey & Finding Agency 47:59 Breakthrough in the Fort: When She Invites Dad In</p><p>51:26 Failure to Thrive Turns Around: Parents’ Healing Helps the Child</p><p>52:18 What Parents Need to Hear: Access, Readiness, and Being Held</p><p>01:01:29 Somatics, Nature, and the Sacredness of Birth (and Death)</p><p>01:03:53 A Message to Fathers: Seeking Care in a System That Doesn’t Hold You</p><p>01:09:35 Equity & Access: Race, Class, and Who Gets Supported</p><p>01:13:20 Hope, “Magic,” and the Family’s Transformation (Closing)</p>

Woven in the Body Episode 12: Leading Forth: Healing with Horses
<p>This conversation is about healing trauma through the intelligence of nature—with horses, with the land, and through the body’s own wisdom.</p><p>I’m joined by Dr. Gail Todter, founder of GalleyWinter Farm and Integrative Health Services, whose equine-assisted holistic approach helps people return to nervous-system regulation and embodied trust, and by Lacie Morrison, yoga teacher and vibrational healer who integrates breath, sound, and ancestral psychology.</p><p>Together we explore how horses mirror human emotion and physiology, guiding us into co-regulation and parasympathetic calm; how craniosacral therapy and psychology reveal the stories stored in the body; and how synchrony in nature—signs, sensations, and symbolic encounters—becomes a teacher in trauma recovery.</p><p>Our dialogue is both scientific and mystical: a study in resonance, remembrance, and the living field of connection that unites body, psyche, and the natural world.</p><p>00:00 Introduction to Woven In the Body</p><p>00:15 Meet Dr. Gale Totter and Her Healing Journey</p><p>01:21 Introducing Lacey Morrison: Yoga Teacher and Healer</p><p>02:02 The Synchronistic Meeting and Shared Experiences</p><p>02:56 The Power of Horse Therapy</p><p>03:32 The Journey Begins: Personal Stories and Connections</p><p>05:01 Exploring Energetic Boundaries with Horses</p><p>06:24 Healing Trauma Through Horse Therapy</p><p>09:51 A Mother's Hope for Her Son's Healing</p><p>23:15 Lacey's Emotional Journey and Family Trauma</p><p>29:59 A Tragic Accident and Healing with Horses</p><p>31:02 Connecting with the Spirit of a Lost Loved One</p><p>33:02 Ancestral Memories and Horseback Riding</p><p>33:53 The Healing Power of Horses</p><p>35:09 Experiencing Energetic Exchange with Horses</p><p>38:09 The Role of Horses in Human Healing</p><p>46:09 Gail's Journey with Horses and Healing</p><p>50:09 Reflections and Future Possibilities</p>
