Foundational Wisdoms for Body and Birth
Hi, Tess Elaine here,
I care for women, children and families on behalf of all life. I believe that a vibrant and healthy human culture begins with mamas and babies and contributes to thriving life for every community of organisms on the earth.
I came to this work by way of a vision inviting me to “pursue the path of midwifery.” This calling came to me from the Earth and my alliance is with Her. When the well being of human birth and the mothering of all species is once again uplifted as the orienting force for all human action, we will know peace and the highest potential for humanity.
I having attended scores of births in the past three years as a student of midwifery and accompanied even more women in the past 8 years through their pregnancies and postpartum times as a body worker and postpartum care provider. Kneeling at feet of women’s wisdom and weaving the sacred into these mundane miracles- that is the joy and privilege of my calling.
I believe in the simple medicines.The medicine of good food and water, herbal remedies, therapeutic touch, conscious connected breathing, nourishing movement and community connection are the heart of my practice.

“My experience getting prenatal bodywork with Paeonia was absolutely everything I needed. She is the most intuitive, grounded, and gifted healer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She helped my body break through a fear center that I have been working on for years…in just one session. She is a gift to this world and I wish I could tell every mama to be about her. Every once in a while you meet that magical human who is doing exactly what they are meant to be doing on this planet and you become aware that they are changing the world. That’s what she does, one mama at a time. Thank you Paeonia!”
