Poet

I am a poet, mother of 3, healthcare advocate and doula. I have been inspired by the landscape and natural treasures of the North Shore of Duluth, Minnesota. I enjoy coffee, running (slowly), hiking, and yoga. I also appreciate snuggling with furry creatures and prickly teens alike.

Some of my poetry is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B07ZBJ63V5).

Other poems (including "After the Endoscopy, in Which You Looked intoMy Guts and Found Nothing") have been published in the medical humanities journal Survive and Thrive (https://repository.stcloudstate.edu/survive_thrive/vol4/iss1/21/)

I read my poetry at Homegrown, at the Duluth All Souls Night events, and at open mic nights at Wussow's Cafe in West Duluth.

I am also an arts organizer, having coordinated readings for the Alworth Planetarium and for Duluth's All Souls Night events.

I have also been a Board member of Lake Superior Writers. In that role, I have served as a judge for the annual poetry competition. I have also written for the LSW blog (Cluttered and Trapped in a Strange World and Diving Deep: How to Write About Difficult Topics).

Centering Women of Size in Birth - "Talk to me, not at me"

Image
Birthing women and people of size deserve no less than to be respected, honored, and wholeheartedly supported during their pregnancy and postpartum experiences. Pregnant women with higher body mass index (BMI) may be discriminated against. They may be presented with a barrage of anticipated risks rather than getting individualized support when seeking health services. BMI has (finally) been taken down a notch in the medical community, at least “on paper.” The American Medical Association published a new policy in June of 2023 that aimed to clarify the role of BMI. They called out “historical harm,” “use for racist exclusion,” and other limitations of the measure. In BMI We Trust, Reframing the Body Mass Index as a Measure of Health , medical sociologist Iliya Gutin argued that we should use BMI as only part of a holistic view of health, recognize its limitations, and be more flexible about its interpretation.  But how do people of size actually feel when seeking health services? I...

Birth Trauma: Today, a call for submissions; tomorrow, keep telling your story

Image
 Birth trauma can feel like peering through a fence and not knowing how to get to the other side. Trauma can look different from birth to birth and from one person to the next. It can impact mothers and parents, caregivers, family members, and health staff. In my view, we must take steps to prevent birth trauma and address it when it develops. We can support birthing women and gender diverse parents, their families, and their care teams.  Prevention can look like engaging the mother/birther as a co-decision maker and leader of their birth process; embracing true informed consent; avoiding coercion; and using open, nonthreatening communication before, during, and after birth. We can start to heal birth trauma by bringing stories into the light. Birthing parents who have experienced trauma may find healing through creative expression. They may benefit from therapy which could include trauma-focused psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, naturopathic or allopathic medicine, and som...

Surviving and Thriving a Pregnant Summer (and a little bit on climate change)

Image
In the summer of 2006 I was in my third trimester with baby Charlotte and living in South Carolina. We were near Charleston in a small town in Berkeley County and it was oppressively hot. Out of curiosity today I looked up the weather reports from that time. The South Carolina State Climatology Office published a summary of weather trends by month for that year. The report says "South Carolina baked the first week of August." A nearby Berkeley County town apparently reported 103 degrees on August 3. The report indicates that tropical storms followed not too long after that, which is typical for the region that time of year. Charlotte (who now goes by Caedyn) was born on September 21. I remember intense fatigue -- more so than with Juliana who was born on New Year's Eve. I became dizzy immediately anytime I walked outside (to be fair, I've never been great with heat so that's not so out of the ordinary). The heat and humidity formed a solid wall, and I had to face...
