Jenny Silva is a local doula who holds within her in the ancient wisdom passed down to her by her ancestors. It was an honor to share sacred space (or what I like to call ceremony) with her and her mother, Maria Silva, inside the Judy Chicago Birth Stories exhibition in Pasadena, CA in September of 2018. In this episode we go deep into quite a few places around childbirth. We talk about Jenny's 4 births and her mother, Maria's 11 births. They share with us some of their traditional wisdom around herbs (but they don't give away all the secrets :), frustrations with hospital care, the wisdom of the ancestor and the ultimate lesson: Birth is not an illness, the body always tells us what it needs. __________ For more information to go: GraceFull or follow us: @gracefullbirth or our guest: @doulajennysilva __________This episode is sponsored by GraceFull where you can find BBJ's host Elizabeth's free ebook Birth Planning: All the Questions to Ask and all kinds of educational videos including Childbirth Education, Advanced Doula Trainings and Lactation Support.

Last episode, we connected with birthworker Jenny Silva to explore more specifically what it looks like to weave ancestral medicine into our lives and birth work. We answered the questions- How can ancestral medicine support our wellness as birth workers? Why is it important to decolonize birth and stay connected to ancestral traditions? What could our birth offerings look like if we were to specifically include our traditions in our offerings? In THIS episode, we speak with Heaven Celeste Thunder, a mother and medicine maker about her journey into ancestral medicine and motherhood. Heaven’s current education in traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Mexican medicine began alongside her involvement with Aztec dance and ceremony. She entered a formal Master’s program in Traditional Chinese Medicine and an informal regathering and remembering of ancient Mexican medicine. Both of these forms of nature-based medicine look at the entire health of the individual instead of looking at the symptoms or diseases. The vision of Heaven’s private clinical practice will tie East Asian and Meso-american medicine together to support health and well-being on all levels: mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical. She plans to emphasize her pursuit of studying Womxn’s Health and Pediatrics with a strong foundation in the emotional-spiritual. You can find her chasing her Master’s at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, on hikes with her boo and their baby, in Aztec dance ceremonies/demonstrations/rallies, and in Native American healing ceremonies. Connect with Heaven on instagram @amomati medicinals or via email at heaven.nunez@ocom.edu. Follow me, Eri, on instagram @birthbruja to continue the conversation of ancestral medicine in birthwork.
Last episode, we connected with healer, community worker, and Curandera Batul True Heart for an introductory conversation into Ancestral Medicine. We answered the questions- What does ancestral medicine mean? Why is it powerful? How can we begin or deepen the journey of exploring the healing modalities of our ancestors? In this episode, we speak with birthworker Jenny Silva to explore more specifically what it looks like to weave ancestral medicine into our lives and birth work. Jenny Silva is the youngest out of 8 children, whose parents migrated from Mexico. Born in the Los Angeles area, Jenny found a connection with her indigenous roots as a youth. After many years of studying the red road, it wasn’t till 2010 where she found her calling as a Spiritual Birth worker/ Doula of color. Jenny is a mother to 4 warrior sons, a step mother, and a Tia to many. This is her inspiration to continue her ancestral ways of healing. Using Plant medicine, ancestral nutrition, rebozo techniques and abuelita wisdom. Jenny reminds women & families of their own inner strength, through mind, body, and spirit. She supports them in bringing forth their own unique birthing ceremony and postpartum journey. Connect with Jenny on instagram @doulajennysilva or email her doulajenny13@gmail.com.

Studying and practicing one’s ancestral medicine can be a potent place for healing and wellness. Especially in relation to my practice of birth work, I have found these lessons to be invaluable as they enable me to cultivate wellness in mind, body, heart, and spirit. In this episode, we dive into the subject of ancestral medicine with healer, community worker, and Curandera, Batul True Heart. Batul has dedicated her life to keeping the traditional healing practices of her ancestors alive in order to heal herself, her community, and the earth from the devastating effects of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. Walking the path of Curanderismo, Batul cultivates her connection to her ancestors, the plants, and the elements by respectfully bringing her ancestral medicine to the world while empowering others to do the same.
