Elissa shares her intimate story about becoming a single mom of her young son. I resonate with her relatable story and how she has gone through this process with so much intention for consciousness in regards to her personal healing and relationship. This is also a beautiful story of the many ways our children/spirit babies/souls guide us in our lives.

She shares about meeting her partner, having her son, the process of separating, and her reflections a year later. Elissa shares about how a trauma history can cause conflict in relationship, how a traumatic birth can cause fracture in the intimate relationship, and the freeing role of taking full responsibility in our lives.

Elissa is a newly single mother to a son, a veteran, and a former nurse who left western medicine to serve women. She began her journey as a birth keeper, but after making the difficult decision to leave her husband, she has shifted her work to focus on story medicine: holding space for women's stories of birth, pregnancy, postpartum, or any other area that women feel called to share with her.
