Mystical Full Moon to you my Beloved Soul Sisters! I had the pleasure of recording this episode in person with the magical Kassandra Miller as one of her daughters slept in the other room. Because we are in the same space with one microphone you may hear the sound quality to be a bit different. I loved the layer of intimacy that came with being in the flesh while hearing Kassandra share her stories. I hope that you enjoy these homebirth stories that Kassandra shares as well as the bigger journey of matresence and how she went from not wanting to be a Mother, to embracing the full transformation into Mother with all its challenges & gifts! A bit more about Kassandra from her directly: My name is Kassandra, 36 and I’m from Spokane, Washington. I grew up with five sisters, and family, connection, and life itself have always been at the center of who I am. I deeply enjoy the fullness of my life—my children, my work in yoga and digestive health, and the endless wisdom of the human body. I believe in our ability to tune in, to listen, and to remember that we are powerful creators of our own well-being. Through movement, nourishment, presence, and awareness, I live and guide others toward a life that feels connected, embodied, and alive. My path into wellness was forged through survival and healing. At a young age, severe microbiome imbalance led to H. pylori overgrowth, gallbladder failure, parasitic overload in my bile ducts, and ultimately bile duct cancer. What began as illness became the doorway to my life’s work. Through deep study of digestion, food as medicine, Ayurveda, years of guiding yoga, hands-on work in colon hydrotherapy, and continued education in parasitology and the living microbiome, I rebuilt my health from the inside out. Today, I guide others through the same inner restoration—supporting the gut, the nervous system, and the body’s natural ability to return to ease, flow, and true function.
