About Margot
A Passion for Empowerment
Hi, thanks for considering Loving Birth Naturally to help you prepare for your upcoming baby!
I’m Margot Rawlinson, lover of all things relating to birth, nutrition and sustainability. I have spent my adult life in caregiving and education with clients from birth through elders, as well as plants and animals. I finished my Liberal Arts undergrad degree at California State University Dominguez Hills and then dove into Holistic Nutrition, earning a master’s degree with Clayton College of Natural Health.
I also studied with Birth Arts International in the areas of birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator and business. Unsure if I wanted to be a midwife or a doula, I began coursework in doula classes to get a feel for the field. I moved from California to Oregon in 2011 thinking that it would be easier to get into birth work and related studies in the Pacific Northwest.
The political climate between doctors in hospitals, midwives and doulas has unfortunately seemed to become even more complicated and inhospitable here over the last decade. I therefore decided to focus specifically on education.
The last ten years of my life have been dedicated to building an intentional community for health and wellness called Emerald Grove. Six years ago my mother developed rather severe Alzheimer’s/ dementia and became the central focus of the village. She continues to thrive using the nutrition offered in this program, now living in a memory-care facility nearby.
One of my passions is women’s empowerment. I am dedicating my holistic healing ministry to developing this educational platform. I support every type of mama regardless of age, religion, race, nationality, abilities, family structure, etc. Whether you are planning a home, hospital or birthing center delivery, my mission is to prepare you so well that you can feel the highest level of relaxation and confidence in the natural process of birth. Women’s bodies have the inherent wisdom to carry out birth triumphantly when given the right space and conditions.
I have designed this program to meet these conditions and mold seamlessly to your unique life and family, before pregnancy, during and after. I provide a safe raw, organic food supply for your whole family and empower your wallet. You will learn to remove the world’s leading toxic poison found in all humans from birth, setting your family up for ultimate success in life with a legacy worth leaving. Position yourself as the queen of your journey and join me in Loving Birth Naturally!
