Kim's Statistics
Kim’s Statistics—4 March 2022 through 31 December 2024 Well! I’m finally finished updating my stats! The details—including how these details blend with the details of my previous twenty-nine years—may be viewed at kimosterholzer.com/statistics-birth-home-midwifery-services. The last two years and nine months have proved a truly wild ride. A mostly really wonderful ride, but did it ever have…
A Pattern for the Woolie!
This pattern is tucked within my book, Nourish + Thrive. For those who haven’t purchased my book, this pattern is for sale on Etsy at etsy.com/shop/WoolieCozy! Also, Carrie Hull, the woman (and midwife) who helped me create this pattern, is willing to knit Woolies for those who’d rather purchase a finished product than attempt to knit a Woolie on their own! Simply reach out to Carrie at…

A Woman Twice My Age
Thirty years ago this morning, filled with my own baby, I perched precariously upon the edge of a surprisingly little bed as a woman twice my age birthed her 11 pound, 2 ounce baby… I sat there and breathed with her as she squeezed my hand with all of her might… Two months later to almost the day, the woman’s oldest daughter gave birth to her first baby as I breathed with her and held her…

Mom! I've Been Thinking!
Mom! I’ve been thinking! Four words I’ve heard more times than I can count… Four words that’ve greeted me at doors, roused me from sleep, disrupted our homeschooling schedule, and interrupted my own train of interesting thoughts… Four of my very favorite words ever ♥ And so Paul’s doing a thing! He’s wrestled a universe to life from his great many thoughts—a universe with a kaleidoscope of…

Legacy
legacy /ˈleɡəsē/ …the long-lasting affect of a particular set of events, actions, etcetera that occurred in the past, or the impact of a person’s life… …something imparted by or received from someone or something from the past… I recently learned when a midwife attends to a birthing woman whose birth she also attended, it’s called a legacy birth… Ever since learning that, the idea of legacy has…

A Springful of Babies
It’s Sunday afternoon—it’s a granddaughter’s first birthday, my son and his wife’s seventh wedding anniversary, and Father’s Day! I updated this three days later on the first day of summer so I could capture our final spring birth ♥ I’ve held off updating my statistics as I’m sooo close to attending my 700th birth, but this spring has really been so sweet and so interesting I wanted to share just…

To Facilitate an Unwinding
There’s little in life that means more than to be able to be part of soothing and healing those who need to be soothed and healed ♥ Those who practice CFT do just that ♥♥♥ I shared a post recently about The Gillespie Approach’s Craniosacral Fascial Therapy commonly known as CFT. It was penned by Betsy Richards, our practice’s senior student and wonderfully gifted CFT practitioner. Betsy…

Five Years!
“There it is! Oh, God, thank you. I found the stone farmhouse easily enough. It was the only one along that isolated stretch of gravel. But it was the isolated stretch of gravel I had troubling finding in the gloom of the rain-splattered night. My nerves and stomach were coiled into a knot so tight I found it hard to think clearly, and then, just as I reached the intersection of what I thought…

The Gillespie Approach's Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)
Betsy Richards, our practice’s senior apprentice, recently completed her Craniosacral Fascial Therapy training with the Gillespie Approach! She’s able to work with babies, children, and adults and, as a client of Betsy’s myself, I can say she has a lovely touch and does truly excellent work! Here’s what Betsy has to say about it! Have you ever seen a spiderweb and noticed how each of the strands…
