Send us a textIn this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Aimee Aroha. This is a powerhouse of a woman right here! Aimee is a Mother of four, a mixed race Māori woman of Ngā Puhi and Te Rarawa descent, with Irish and Scottish ties. She is a qualified counsellor intentionally working outside the system as a Matri-centric Mentor, she works largely with women and families across the child bearing continuum but welcomes all people seeking to create lives of more authenticity and passion. The core principle of her work is a devotional decolonial perspective; exploring how colonised system seek to disconnect individuals, the collective and the Earth from eachother. Our conversation is largely centered around decolonizing the childbearing continuum, Aimee's message is a powerful one and I am beyond grateful to have dropped in to the depths of realness with her in this way.

Send us a textIn this Episode I interview, Whapio Diane Bartlett. For over 40 years, Whapio has been a pioneer in the world of midwifery and birthkeeping, redefining how we understand and approach birth since 1985. As an Elder Midwife, educator, and mentor, Whapio has devoted her life to raising the consciousness of birth and transforming how families, caregivers, and communities honor this sacred process. She is one of my most cherished mentors, in this conversation we dive into the realms of what Whapio refers to as Quantum Birth, and some of her own journey of entering midwifery and becoming a mother herself. Whapio speaks to the naturally psychedelic qualities of pregnancy, birth and postpartum, the expanded state of being that this time brings, the brainwave shifts, and the consciousness altering journey. This is what Mama Psychedelia is all about.In 2001, Whapio founded The Matrona, an organization dedicated to providing affordable, accessible midwifery education to aspiring doulas, midwives and birthkeepers around the world. Through programs such as the  Holistic Doula Training, The Illuminated Wise Woman, and the Birthkeepers Midwifery Cohort, Whapio has created a space for transformative learning that honors the art and science of birth while weaving in the essential elements of consciousness, spirituality, and wisdomkeeping.Whapio speaks passionately about the role of consciousness in caregiving and birth, believing it to be the missing element that could revolutionize maternal care and return the power of birth to families. As she often says, “The way we give birth is a mirror of the emotional and spiritual maturity on this planet. If we prioritize consciousness in birth, we will transform not only the experience of birth but the very fabric of how we live and relate to each other.”Through The Matrona's programs, Whapio offers a unique and holistic perspective on birth, blending practical skills with quantum midwifery, homeopathy, and ancient wisdomkeeping. Through The Matrona's programs, Whapio offers a unique and holistic perspective on birth, blending practical skills with quantum midwifery, homeopathy, and ancient wisdomkeeping. The Birthkeepers Midwifery Cohort, starting February 1st, is a year-long journey of discovery and transformation. This program consists of 10 comprehensive modules that guide participants through all aspects of midwifery, from pregnancy to postpartum. With a focus on the four pillars of learning: Anatomy and Physiology, Quantum Midwifery in Practice, Homeopathy and Wisdomkeeping—this program equips birthkeepers with both the knowledge and the intuitive skills to elevate their practice.Whapio's teachings are rooted in a profound belief that birth is a portal to transformation. She says, “If we understood the magnitude of birth as a gateway to transformation, everything in the world would change. Birth is the blueprint through which we can heal the planet and evolve as a species.”Whether you are an aspiring doula, midwife, a seasoned birthworker, or someone seeking a deeper understanding of the power of birth, The Matrona's Birthkeepers Midwifery Program offers an opportunity to learn from one of the most passionate and wise voices in holistic birth education.Join Whapio on February 1st to begin your journey into the heart of Birthkeeping. If you decide to embark on this journey, give me a shout out upon registration for referral

We will be attaching a link for fundraising for new families navigating the impact of these floods, if you have the means please fund community birth care.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Sena Maria. Sena supports women to embrace a nourished, resilient and radiantly healthy state.  She uses Mineral Nutritional Balancing to rebuild our mineral heritage and get to the root of our health issues. She believes that we are only as healthy as our cells and by supporting our bodies ability to create energy and eliminate toxins efficiently, we can return to the simple, natural joy of being alive. Sena's degree in Psychology, career at Google and her subsequent studies of yoga, energy healing, shamanism, plant medicine, tools for building emotional capacity and integration, and Mineral Nutritional Balancing have led her to sit with many questions about what humanity may need at this time to heal from trauma + toxins, strengthen our families and create mineral-rich generations to come. She offers a woman-centric approach to healing with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis utilizing it as a tool for deepening connection with one's self. In our conversation together, we speak about replenishing mineral stores and the impact this simple act can have on our overall well-being. How our stress levels, our sleep, our organ health, our energy, and so much more can be a direct reflection of our body's mineral imbalances and how we can restore our systems by rebalancing. We touch on the impact of Plant Medicine work and how it can impact our hormones and mineral stores. We speak about the benefits of Mineral Balancing Nutrition in the pre-conception time and also in the postpartum time, and how vital it is. How entering pregnancy and parenthood mineral-y deficient can impact our longevity long term and how our babies pull from our mineral make up to ensure they receive what they need to grow and thrive, often leaving us deeply depleted if we are not in a vibrantly nourished place. Sena speaks to the power of her own findings in retracing through mineral balance, and her work with clients in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). Sena shares more of her personal journey with this work, and the chapter of life she is in now as a women in her mid 30's.In the beginning of this Episode I share more about my online program Fertile Souls *launching November 11th, 2024* this is a 9 month holistic container for folks in their Preconception window and Early Pregnancy.Resources: Sena's InfoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sena__maria You can learn more about Radiantly Nourished, Sena's year long mineral balancing membership for women on her website:  www.sena-maria.commentions: https://www.instagram.com/wildlyonswellnessYour Host Mackenzie: Launching my Pre Conception + Pregnancy Preparation 9 month journey: learn more here https://fertilesouls.carrd.co/ IG: @mamapsychedelia & @hunnywombdoula Email: Birthkeeperkenz@gmail.com Would you like to be on the show?

Send us a textSo many gems in this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast! I interview a woman who has inspired me for many years with her online presence and who has become a dear friend of mine through our shared connection with the lands of Costa Rica. This woman is a powerhouse mama, the bread winner of her family, the matriarch, Katya Nova! In our conversation (literally recorded earlier today) we dive into her journey of building the influential online platform Matriarch Collective which has transformed the lives of literally 10's of 1000's of women and families and we chat about her most recent launch which is, the Wealthy Woman Vault 2.0 (get a ticket while it's hot). We talk about Katya's journey of co-parenting and homesteading with her ex husband who is also her best friend, and raising their 4 beautiful little ones together. In this episode Katya shares some incredibly beautiful stories of her own birth experiences, the work that it takes as a woman to unlearn many of the things we were told and taught along the way, and what it takes to rise and reclaim our inherent birthright of Abundance & JOY! Last year alone, her platform Matriarch Collective generated 2.5M+ dollars online, she was was able to give back 500K to the women in her community, in affiliate dollars and philanthropic projects for single mothers. Katya believes that 'wealth' is measured in TIME, not DOLLARS. It's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you get to keep. And how that money is working for you. Wealth is the freedom to be generous. It's about being at ease in your nervous system, and knowing that if something unexpected happens, you (and your family) will be ok. I know you are going to love this episode and want more of what she's bringing to the table.MAKE SURE you grab your ticket to the Wealthy Woman VAULT 2.0 before it closes for good!

Veladya is a mother and herbalist, living and homesteading in rural Georgia. Along with herbalism, Veladya studies and teaches breathwork, entheogens, womb wisdom and holistic nutrition.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Jess Shine.Jess is mother, wife, life lover, farmer, birthkeeper, village wise woman, adventurer, and dreamer. Life has led her to her latest big leap: her 50 acre family homestead in Northern Idaho where she is dedicated to making their place on this earth better for the next generation. She says “I'll die satisfied knowing that I made the world a better place, even if it's just for my 3 littles.”  They've got a a whole farm, milk cows, chickens, sheep, alpaca, mini donkeys, llamas, peacock, guinea hens, turkeys, cats, and, of course, dogs.  Jess found a 10 year career in the hospital as a labor and delivery nurse abruptly dissolved a few years back. She was a nurse, a good one, and then overnight wasn't — fired for following the law of informed consent and not checking a mother's cervix when the mom told her she couldn't.  Seeing the hospital thru the view of policymakers changed the way she saw her work, and losing the career she built up over a decade  rocked her to her core.  She went from a really hard, exhausting, inflammation and stress causing job to village wise woman. She learned how to help others heal by healing herself, and sharing her findings through herbalism and homeopathy. Add in mindfulness practices, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, remove the toxins as best as one can, and top it all off with love. Jess Shine shows up as a companion for the births to which she's called as a witness and a guide.She teaches natural healing and home health classes, and hosts free calls on zoom to help mothers find peace with their births and unwind their stories. Jess recently launched a program to help birth attendants and families understand the ins and outs of the hospital. She is also the director of programs at the Matrona, the school founded by Jess and I's elder teacher Whapio, and a true blessing to this world.    In this episode together we explore the concept of mothering the mother: caring for mothers in our own community through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond — & equally important — nourishing the great Mother Earth.  Enjoy. Resources: Where to find Jess:IG: @badassbirthkeeper        @shinewildfamilyfarmWebsite: https://shinewild.farm/badass-birthkeeperYour Host Mackenzie: IG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoula Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview the second papa to ever come on the show, Levi Barker, a father and steward of Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica who approached me with a desire to share his story. Levi came to Iboga about 14 years ago due to an opiate addiction. After coming to the medicine himself and finding solace and healing, he befriended a Bwiti medicine carrier who trained him, and 8 years later offered him the blessing to serve this medicine. Iboga holds incredibly potent powers in reminding people of their clarity and strength, and aids them in overcoming intense addictions, as well as being a form of treatment for common mental health obstacles such as depression (including postpartum depression) anxiety, and ptsd. Iboga is also now known for its supportive measures in boosting fertility & supporting those who may have been considered infertile to conceive human life. Levi shares some of the Bwiti lessons he's walked with, simple universal truths about what it means to be a human and live here on earth. He speaks to how this medicine & his journey has impacted his parenting & how he feels this teacher can support those clearing out their subconscious closets before becoming parents or those who already are and want to go deeper.(Wifi connection was weak in a few moments excuse the breaks)Resources: Where to find Levi: IG: @realibogawellnesscenter https://www.instagram.com/realibogawellnesscenter/Website: https://ibogawellness.com/Your Host Mackenzie: IG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoulaIntro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.

In this Episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Lindsey Wise.This may just be my favourite episode to date. One of the most moving conversations of my life and truly an answered prayer to share this type of soul medicine with those seeking it. Together Lindsey and I explore the sacredness of Birth, Death, Loss, Illness, Ecstatic Joy, and Sound Frequency. Each share along the way is golden heart nectar, through the beauty and pain, the synchro-mystic unravelling of the ceremony of life is so ever-present. I am so honoured to have received this woman and her family's life story.Following the birth of Lindsey's first child, she had a Near-Death Experience, where she found herself surrounded by multitudes of light beings who initiated her into the world of subtle energies and healing vibrations. At that moment, she realized that all beings create their own unique vibration—their soul song. Each person's soul song makes up the great Choir of Life. And that is where one of her heart offerings 'Soul Song Revival' was born. Her work is to awaken humanity to the healing power of their unique sound. She's traveled the world and the astral realms, cultivating healing techniques to help people awaken to the power of their own voice and to the healer within. She blend ritual, breathwork, guided journeys, sound healing, yoga and community song  and she call this Ceremonial Energy Medicine.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Stéphanie Liévana, a mama of one, living in a small off grid ‘town' in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Stéphanie is a dear sister and inspiration in my life, walking the path of a medicine woman. In our time together Stéphanie shares some of her life's journey. She was born in Brazil and grew up in Mexico, in her twenties she found herself in Baja. Along the way she fell in love with her beloved partner and ultimately got pregnant, after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism as a child and being told by several doctors, she would never be able to conceive and have a child naturally. She credits this experience to her own healing journey, coming off of medication, finding plant medicines and devoting to a new way of being.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Bri Aberdeen. Bri started her journey of learning about her life giving body at the age of 22 and soon after became a practicing birth and postpartum doula. She's been serving in this capacity ever since and in her 30 years on earth she's always been inspired by mamas, who make this world go round. Bri has definitely found throughout her walk on this path that she's needed to balance out birth work with life, and other pursuits, sometimes needing to take a pause to integrate all that her doula practice reveals. This is something we dive into conversation together about, amongst an array of topics. How to integrate birth experiences as a professional in this field, how the Doula can Doula herself, the importance of the self care & nervous system regulation for the birth worker to show up fully in someone's birth space. Through her journey of study in birth and her own body, when her own time came she was able to birth without fear, totally in her power. She feels passionately about sex education and birth education and that everyone deserves access to understanding birth and how to support the process beyond birth into postpartum. Doula training is life training. We will all certainly be close to at least one person in our lives who brings life into the world! Relational care is revolutionary my friends. Throughout our conversation we talk in depthly on the path of doula hood, becoming doulas before having children of our own, body literacy and taking charge of our own education, along with Bri's personal journey, the trip in which she conceived her daughter, her relationship with psilocybin, and surprise free birthing her baby at home on her own!*Wrapping up a Hiatus after one of the most full on months of my life on the Birth path. Emerging out of a Cocoon. So much depth there. So many learnings.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Sami Love. Sami has been working in the field of Psychotherapy for over 7 years, and started her coaching business rooted in Mental Alchemy over 3 years ago; a space where she has found the freedom to weave her western education with her spiritual journey and knowledge. She has been gifted with many life changing teachings through her 5 years of walking with Sacred Plant Medicines in Peru and other countries around the world. She has now been living in Peru for over 2 years working intimately with plant teachers such as Ayahuasca, Huachuma, Bobinsana, and Tobacco. After a profound 6 months spent in the Amazon Jungle working with plants medicines she moved to the Sacred Valley, where she met her life partner and started working helping him in running their retreat centre, Anahata Ayahuasca. Together, they now work side by side in ceremony with their Indigenous Shipibo Maestro; a healer who has been walking  with Ayahuasca for over 40 years. Witnessing and supporting the healing of others is her soul mission in this life time. She is especially passionate about supporting and standing by women and they rise into their fullest expressions. Two of her projects she holds near and dear to her heart are: REWILD for women, and Sisters of the Moon.In September of 2022, after giving birth to her daughter, life took yet another beautiful shift. Sam and her partner chose to bring their daughter into the world in a more alternative way, rooted in community, ceremony, and trusting/following the guidance of her intuition. It has been an initiation that has transformed her from the inside out. Motherhood is now the most important roll in her life, and she feels so honoured and blessed to be learning and growing through this new chapter in life.I feel Sami's passion for autonomous family led birth, in my bones, and am grateful to have received her reflections around the current birthing paradigms that exist both in and outside of the medical system. Sam tells us about meeting the spirits of her children before they came in through psychedelic visions, she shares her conception stories, bridging the worlds of psychology and spirit, experiencing miscarriages, and the beautiful sovereign pregnancy she experienced carrying her daughter that led to her surprise breech birth at home in Peru. We talk about societal fears of birth, filtering out what is true and what is not, when being bombarded with opinions as a pregnant women, and staying connected to intuition and truth within.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast we dive into Adelina's own journey of coming to a plant medicine path, leaving medical school and finding the healing arts. We explore deeply what multi generational healing looks like, tending to the traumas of the family bloodline, nervous system regulation & ceremony integration. Adelina shares her journey of stepping into motherhood and all that that entailed for her, how ayahuasca can give us avenues to walk down on our healing journey but will not “fix” or “save” us. She shares on her devotional path of study and exploration with the Shipibo lineage in Peru, and what exactly a master plant dieta is. She shares on her pregnancy, her own womb healing, especially post abdominal surgery as a child, and her beautiful birth experience. I love the way Adelina expresses her wisdom. Adelina is a mentor and spiritual practitioner that is deeply dedicated to the feminine healing arts and the wisdom spirits of the sacred master plant teachers. She has held several long standing apprenticeships with deeply immersed elders, shamanic teachers, and Curanderos/as. She specializes in modalities such as Trauma Bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, Ayahuasca Integration, Mind-Body Therapy, Sound Healing, Breathwork, and Dance Movement Therapy.  Adelina walks a life of service as a medicine woman and a mother in the shamanic path of the beauty way. Her devotion is rooted in supporting women to clear and heal the traumas that are alive in their bodies-unraveling the stories of the bloodline and awakening to true liberation of creativity, voice, expression, and emotion. She believes in the medicine of embodiment, the wisdom of the feminine temple body, and the power of integration. She focuses on teaching a new language in regulating the nervous system in healthy and supportive ways so that life can be experienced in a path of love.  Forever a student, she bows in deep gratitude for life and all that is here to teach her.Resources: Where you can find Adelina: IG: @adelinamvaughn https://www.instagram.com/adelinamvaughn/Linktree : https://linktr.ee/adelinamvaughnWebsite: www.adelinavaughn.comUpcoming Offerings: https://ayahealingretreats.com/event/noya-rao-remote-dieta-feb-16-26-2023/https://ayahealingretreats.com/event/ayahuasca-women-retreat/Mackenzie's offerings: Email: birthkeeperkenz@gmail.comhttps://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music: Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita - Tabadabangfrom their 2022 album 'Echo'Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) 

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I talk with Jamie Satori, together we dive deep into the realms of Quantum Birth keeping, birth being the blueprint of all things, and birth as transformation. Jamie came to Doula work after her own traumatic birth 13 years ago, which later led to 3 redemptive empowered births, the 4th being a self directed birth here in Costa Rica. Her first birth ushered her onto this path of midwifery and mama hood. Moving to Costa Rica supported her in healing from the rat race of the West and her own history of addiction and substance reliance. We together share how we first connected and our early journey of working alongside each other. We touch on how the brainwaves of a birthing being move through them, oxytocin and ecstasy, and the altered state that is birth and death (death being the cervix to the next universe.) We also explore how birth is inherently a spiritual act of essence coming into physicality and Jamie's own childhood connection to the sacred and how children are highly tapped into the intuitive realms and magic. We talk about supporting the rite of passage for the non-birthing parent and how important their role is on the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum of a new life, and how as birth workers we can support sovereign family led birth and follow the family's lead and to trust their inner knowing.   Jamie is a mama to four and community midwife serving in Costa Rica's southern zone. Borderless Birth is her beloved brain baby and the container that holds her soul work. She is in her eighth year serving at the gateways of birth and death, and passions include the movement towards re-humanization and reclamation of being born, birthing and dying. Following the Quantum Midwifery way (as taught by Whapio of the Matrona), Jamie believes and teaches peak human experiences as altered states of consciousness deserving of ceremony and respect.Where you can find Jamie Satori :  Website: www.borderlessbirth.comIG: @borderlessbirthResources: -Melinda Smyth https://www.alignable.com/jacksonville-fl/ceo-cake-with-melynda-smith-Sarah Kerr https://sacreddeathcare.com/about/-https://birthbreathanddeath.com/Your Host Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoula   Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify)

Juliana is a mother, a Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Sexological Bodyworker, Doula, Trauma Informed Plant Medicine Integration Coach and Pleasure Activist. She is passionate about supporting people to connect more deeply with themselves and each other through integrating the teachings of somatic sexuality, trauma resolution and sacred plant medicines into their intimate lives so that their relationships can be a source of nourishment and healing for themselves and for the world. She is the creator of Boldly Embodied which is the current home of her work where she supports individuals and couples to boldly embody their love, their pleasure and their lives. Together we explore the intersection of sex & psychedelics, erotic trance and entheogenic communion. We talk pelvic health, internal & external body work for pre-conception & postpartum, how that can support the birthing process, and pleasure practice. We talk about attuning to more than the human world, how we are cosmic beings having a human experience, how being born into this world is our first taste of psychedelia, and so much more. I love hearing about Juliana's personal experiences in this line of work, and the birth story of her first, born in Peru when she was 20 years old. So much wisdom to be received in this chat.Resources: Where you can find Juliana: Website: www.boldlyembodied.comIG: @boldlyembodied https://www.instagram.com/boldlyembodied/       @entheomama https://www.instagram.com/entheomama/Mackenzie's offerings: Providing Birth Keeping Services & Breathwork Facilitationhttps://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music Snippet of "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview a mama named Tracey Tee, this episode is highly recommended for anyone out there that may find themselves skeptical or wondering how this could possibly be integrated and supportive in parenthood. For anyone who may not consider themselves “spiritual” or “hippy dippy” and who may consider themselves to be leading more of a conventional life, Tracey acts as an incredible bridge between suburban society and the sacred. Tracey talks about how magic mushrooms have completely altered the way in which she views the world, how beneficial this work with mushrooms has been in her mothering, how she's able to co create a beautiful life alongside her daughter and see her in her wisdom and fullness. How psilocybin can support us in loosening our type grip of control in life, and learning to trust more deeply. How powerfully healing these can be a therapeutic healing context, but also just a ton of fun, reminding us of our joy and creativity. I loved hearing her personal journey, and how wisdom and humour were deeply woven.Tracey Tee has been actively involved in the momosphere for over 10 years, first co-creating and staring in the nationally touring cult-hit comedy show for moms: ThePump and Dump Show while simultaneously co-producing Band of Mothers Podcastand serving as co-founder and CEO of The Pump and Dump Show's umbrella brand:Band of Mothers Media. During the pandemic, and during her own journey withpsilocybin Tracey began to feel called to support moms in a deeper and moremeaningful way. In 2022 she launched an online microdosing course createdexclusively for moms called (haha) M.O.M. which stands for “moms on mushrooms.”Tracey's goal is to bring moms together through the sacred use of plant medicine fora shared journey of personal growth and healing.Moms on Mushrooms is 100% the most fulfilling, challenging and aligned pursuitTracey has ever embarked upon, and she is dedicated to crafting a supportivecontainer for mothers that embodies the Divine Feminine, gives reverence to ourelders and original cultures, and hopefully acts as an example of a redefined way toengage in a New Earth, consciously created model of “doing business.”-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Resources: Where you can find Tracey:Website: momsonmushrooms.comIG: @momsonmushroomsofficialMackenzie's Offerings: Providing Pre conception to Postpartum Services & Breathwork Facilitationin Canada, Costa Rica and beyond.https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music Snippet of "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview  birthkeeper Linda Hamilton. Linda is a mother of 7 and grandmother and the founder and previous director of the non-profit organization “Birth Without Boundaries”. She continues to be an advocate for peaceful birth practices and honouring of the 42 day postpartum nest, and is currently writing a book exploring her life's work. Linda has lived between Costa Rica and Pennsylvania since 2001 and has been supporting many families during their pregnancy journeys in person and remotely. During our discussion, Linda shares a few of her own birth experiences, starting with what it was like desiring an unmediated birth in the 80's at 19 years old when having her first, declaring after her 4th that she would never birth in a hospital again, on to the story of her glorious free birth of her daughter at home. Linda talks about the early days of being a birth companion in her communities as a young mother, her role in advocacy & activism, time shared with Ina May Gaskin & Michel Odent, living in the jungle of Costa Rica and supporting families in wild free birth settings in their full undisturbed power. She illuminates the importance of witnessing the sacredness that is taking place in birth and giving mothers the opportunity to harvest that magic, and how that sets them up for successful, connected mothering. She tells a story of a client's beautiful birth by the ocean, we talk about birth imprinting, and how the prenatal and birthing time impact each of us and how we relate to the world, and how many of our foundational subconscious beliefs are created at this time. She shares how we can all listen deeper to the baby's intrinsic intelligence during the birthing process alongside their mothers.Multi generational living, coming together with community, pulling together resources. And finally, one of my favourite topics, the importance of centering & honouring mothers in our communities so they can fully thrive in their role of power and guardianship, how we can serve mothers, and stop perpetuating cycles of self sacrificing behaviour so they can better serve the future.———————————————————————————————————Resources: Where you can find Linda: Linda's WebsiteMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoulaIntro Music Snippet of "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify.

Becca is a believer in the benefits of harm reduction and self-defined recovery. As a neurodivergent and queer woman, Becca holds non-judgement and accessibility as priorities in her work with others. Becca is also a mother to 2 amazing children who are her biggest teachers. Together we discuss Becca's journey of becoming an addiction counsellor in her early twenties and how in more recent years this has led her to bridging this realm of addiction counselling and integration work with psilocybin. She shares how  mushroom medicine has supported her personal journey with mental health, healing addiction, and postpartum. Her first deep journey bringing more insightful healing then years of therapy & treatment centers combined. We hear about her adolescence and upbringing as well as her early motherhood days, how her birth experiences differed, and how her parenting fundamentals have become unconditional acceptance, non judgment, and elevating self expression. We talk about the lack of connection many face with spirit & self, and how this common thread of disconnection exists amongst many folks that struggle with addiction, and how mushrooms can support.Resources: Where you can find Becca:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mycoforia/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/MycophoriaMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

Saera speaks to some of her own journeys with medicines & molecules such as Ayahuasca and DMT and how they were allies in her stepping into her work in this world and preparing for her stepping into mothering, but how ultimately these mystical realms have been deeply rooted in her being from a very young age. She talks about the ritual of calling in her children, the sacred contract with her partner early on in stepping into partnership and parenthood, along with many insights into what ritual means to her and how it is deeply interwoven in her life and mama hood, we talk about the visions of her birth, and how her previous two births varied in free birthing for her first & having regulated midwifery care for her second, her children's connection to birth, as well as who she sees present their and her incredible mother blessing story by the ocean.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Ariana Fotinakis. Ariana is a breath worker, baby mama of one, and business woman, of Aamjiwnaang First Nations (Ontario) and Greek descent, now residing on the Unceded territories of the Coast Salish people, some call Vancouver. Together we explore her journey of reconnecting to her indigenous roots & and raising her daughter connected to her lineage. She shares openly her story of never envisioning herself as a mother, and coming to a place in her life of choosing a need to mother, to pass the torch and her legacy of healing to the next generation, and stepping into it after two powerfully transformative ceremonies, one with breath work and one with psilocybin that prepared her to step into that initiation. Ariana shares how she's finding balance in being connected to her sacred work in this world and being a new mama, finding deep purpose in both. And we discuss how breath wave, amongst many other gifts, has brought regularity to her menstrual cycle which ultimately led to her conception, has assisted her in shedding many layers that were not serving, and how working with psilocybin mushrooms has similarly served her deeply in coming to be the person she is now. We talk about her childhood of being psychically tuned in and being in relationship to ancestors and nature, we explored her teenage-hood and early adult years and moving out of alcoholism and finding an “addiction to” fitness & mindset which brought her into a space  wholeness within herself. I love hearing Ariana speak, and I know you will too.Resources: Where you can find Ariana: IG: @arianafotinakis https://www.instagram.com/arianafotinakis/Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I Interview Jennifer “Juniper” Montgomery. Can you imagine if the entrance into menstruation was celebrated and honoured? If rites of passage were normalized in our most transitional moments of change in life? We will be diving deep into these realms today.Jennifer is a homeschooling, homesteading, homebirthing mama raising 4 children (as well as many varieties of plants and animals) in Appalachia. She is a Matrona certified doula and a birthkeeper and childbirth educator. Some of her greatest passions are physiologic birth, the creation of family, forging new ways for neurodivergent minds, natural and holistic living and healing, and breaking those pesky cycles that prevent loving evolution. In our chat today, we explore some of the ritualistic ways she's created deeper connection and celebration in her family unit, the importance of community, staying connected and welcoming playfulness and presence with children as they enter teenage-hood, breaking taboos in the birth world, home/unschooling, as well as raising children on the spectrum and how we can better support them to shine in their unique brilliance on this earth. One of my favourites themes in this episode is on menstrual magic, cycle syncing within the family and how to support each other in the home, the sacredness of menarche and the first bleed, how grief comes up for kids during this stage of life and we can support them in navigating it while staying true to themselves, as well as raising children in a way where they are connected to their bodies and to nature. This mama has so much wisdom to share, and I know you will get so much out of it.   Resources: Where you can find Jennifer : Email: JuniperVita@gmail.comFB: Jennifer Montgomery, WNC Birthkeeper https://m.facebook.com/110720604168383/Website: https://junipervita.wixsite.com/juniperbirthIG: @asheville_birthkeeper https://www.instagram.com/asheville_birthkeeper/Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I chat with Atiyeh Baradaran, an Iranian-Canadian psychotherapist. Atiyeh works with a wide range of approaches, from Dr. Gabor Maté's compassionate inquiry to sacred plant medicine, traditional ceremonies, yoga & meditation, music, dance and somatic healing. She currently lives in Baja California Sur, and has a private online practice  where she offers therapy sessions through zoom to clients from all over the world. She truly believes that the real healing from trauma only begins when we truly feel Held, heard and accepted in exactly where we are. Atiyeh is a survivor of trauma herself. She was born and raised in Iran, as the youngest of 3 siblings, during the time of war and ongoing dictatorship in the country, and amidst severe health issues in her primary family. Losing her father to death at the age of 13, and immigrating to Canada at 15 away from everything and everyone she knew, are among some of the life events that have brought her into her long and ongoing journey of consciously healing. She has dedicated her life to help and guide others doing the same work as well, and is very passionate about it. In our episode together, we discuss Atiyeh's journey of studying psychology and coming to somatic practices along with her studies under Dr. Gabor Mate's compassionate inquiry training which led to her counselling practice, Be Held Counselling. We dive into the realms of psycho somatic healing, how trauma is stored in the body, and the importance of integration work post plant medicine ceremonies and major life experiences, such as birth. Atiyeh shares some insights on early childhood development, the connection between the mother and infant's nervous system and some regulation tools. We talk about how disease is often the manifestation of suppression or unexpressed emotion, trauma healing, and how we can learn to parent our own inner child. Her brilliance shines in this episode, and carries so much value for anyone on the path to parenthood, in the midst of it, or on the path of parenting themselves again to come into a more whole regulated and emotionally mature version of themselves. Her compassionate heart, grounded energy, and wisdom offers so much. Resources: Where you can find Atiyeh: Website  www.beheldcounselling.com FB:  www.facebook.com/Beheldcounselling IG: @beheldcounselling www.instagram.com/beheldcounsellingYou can also email her directly at: atiyeh.b@gmail.comMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview jungle mama, Estonia Elizabeth. A Kenyan woman who has made home here in Costa Rica over the past 4.5 years. In our conversation today we dive into Estonia's upbringing between Kenya and Texas, stepping into a role of nurturing from a young age, as well as her journey of moving to the Central America solo with her backpack & hula hoop. She shares with us her experiences with intuitive led pregnancy, how she protected her energy from the outside world's unsolicited birth advice, and how she allowed her inner knowing to lead the way. The stories of her empowering home free births of her two suns, supported by sisters and her lover, how she traversed the altered states of natural birthing, the highest high of the human experience. Tapping into womb wisdom and her path forward of guiding women on their own journeys of sovereign motherhood. After these raw & primal births, Estonia continues to wild mother through use of psychedelic medicines, somatic movement therapy, inner child healing work and more! In Costa Rica, she microdoses frequently to aid in her rebalancing & regenerating process during post partum. Through her 6 year relationship with mushrooms, now she's opened Mushroom ceremony spaces for people to dive into the medicine. She highlights that the use of psylocilibin in Postpartum depression is truly a pivotal tool to spark reconnection to self after birth. Staying connected to our joy is how we make it through the more difficult transitions in life, no matter how they look. Even with beautiful births, we can all benefit in many ways from the added psychological & chemical support to balance the wild hormonal experience with birth. She hosts jungle retreats featuring plant medicine & wild nature immersion that guide us back into remembering our most primal self. Additionally, she offers womb healing sessions & motherhood support sessions.Resources: Where you can find Estonia: Estonia ElizabethIG: @junglemoonmama https://www.instagram.com/junglemoonmama/https://linktr.ee/junglemoonmamaMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking to a woman that has really been a major catalyst on my own healing journey, Luna Itzell. An ayahuascara of 20 years, a truly sensational vocal talent accompanied by her husband Helder in all their musical endeavours, and a mother of a 19 year old daughter. Luna has one of the brightest hearts I've come to know in this life, her service in ceremony is remarkable, the weaving of her song medicine with the sacred medicine of the Amazon Ayahuasca, the divine healing space that she creates for us all to remember who we truly are. Luna tells us about her journey of coming to plant medicine in her early 30s to heal from her own fertility journey and mental, physical, emotional disturbances. How that journey led her to motherhood and medicine work as a life path. She shares pieces here and there on several sacred medicines of the earth and their spirits, living a ceremonial life in reverence of creator, and how this has served her in her 19 years of mothering. What she shares here is truly a blessing to anyone entering parenthood or needing a reminder amongst the challenging times. She tells us about her father's influence in entering medicine ceremony for the first time, some of his own journey as a young man in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as her thoughts on mother's sitting in ceremony throughout their pregnancies. This is one you don't want to miss you, Gracias Luna por todo. For walking me back home in some of the most transformational vulnerable moments in my adult life, and for reminding me that “everything is okay.” After all we are all guided here, thank you for sharing your soul's wisdom. Resources: Where you can find Luna: FB: https://www.facebook.com/lunaitzellIG: https://www.instagram.com/luna.itzell/Spotify: her music https://open.spotify.com/album/5ecInGR7qC4P6nEh46iA1K?si=40Iwe32cREaaU795n7f8zghttps://open.spotify.com/track/2pSqwgeGsviyTrtGNGj3LW?si=kf9FjlM5S0WsxhrlwdWwTwWhatsApp: +52 624 191 9246Mackenzie's Offerings:  https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw
