For Those That Walk Between Worlds: A Midwife's Reflections on Birth, Belonging, and the Healing of Our Profession (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280920668)

For Those That Walk Between Worlds is a gathering place for the stories, reflections, and ancestral wisdom of midwives - those who stand at the sacred threshold between life and death, joy and grief, seen and unseen. In an era where birth work is increasingly regulated, politicized, and burdened by generational wounds, this book offers a voice of remembrance, resilience, and repair.

Midwife Alyssa weaves poetry, narrative, and hard-won truths from years spent walking between worlds. She speaks to those quietly holding space for others while carrying the invisible weight of their own births, losses, and reckonings. To the students finding their footing, the midwives questioning their path, and the elders witnessing a profession in crisis - this is a reclamation and a balm.

Within these pages is an invitation to heal the collective nervous system of midwifery, to rebuild trust between generations, to speak what was once unspeakable, and to imagine a future rooted in wisdom, integrity, and belonging.

The end of the book includes a section on midwifery collective care and healing practices, along with 13 writing prompts for reflection and repair. These prompts, with dedicated journal space, can be explored alone or used within a midwifery conference breakout group, continuing education class, or community midwives circle.

This book is for those who remember, those who are remembering, and those yet to come.
