As the creator of the Wellness Womb School, I鈥檓 excited to introduce myself and share my journey with all of you! My name is Carisa, and I am a homebirth midwife and a doctor of natural and sacred medicine. My passion for holistic health began when I witnessed the transformative power of natural birthing practices and the deep connections that occur during those sacred moments.
In addition to midwifery, I have a strong interest in holistic functional medicine, which allows me to take a comprehensive approach to wellness, considering the whole person鈥攎ind, body, and spirit. I believe that our experiences shape us, and I am committed to creating a supportive community where we can share knowledge, resources, and encouragement.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy foraging for herbs, practicing mindfulness in nature, and exploring new wellness practices and hanging with my amazing kiddos and partner. I look forward to learning about each of you and discovering how we can support one another on our individual journeys
