¡Hola! Soy Natalia y he pasado gran parte de mi vida estudiando los ecosistemas. Hasta que entendí que yo también soy uno.

Estudié Antropología Social en Londres y Educación Ambiental en Nueva York. Durante más de una década viví entre Brasil, Colombia, Estados Unidos y Canadá, trabajando en conservación, regeneración y educación ambiental.

Mientras tanto, internamente estaba atravesando mis propios desafíos, algunos muy parecidos a los de la Tierra: infertilidad, un proceso de FIV fallido y 20 años de endometriosis severa.

Había pocas respuestas a mis preguntas… por eso empecé a investigar mucho.

Y ahí fue donde mis mundos se encontraron: conservación, regeneración, salud, naturaleza y cuerpo.

Hoy acompaño procesos de fertilidad, embarazo, posparto y pérdida gestacional. Sigo haciendo lo que he hecho toda mi vida: observar sistemas, hacer preguntas y encontrar conexiones. by @terramorpho

Throughout my professional experience, I realized that there is a clear correlation between my external world and my internal world.

I started my first women’s circle, where we explored our relationship with the body, pleasure, society, and being a woman. What began in London later continued in Brazil, Colombia, and the United States.

During this time, I stopped taking birth control, began observing my cycles intimately, and started understanding the ways in which my body communicated with me.

While protecting 5,000 hectares of tropical dry forest, I began to recognize similarities between the cycles of ecosystems and the cycles of my own body.

Through managing the project and conducting extensive research, I found scientific evidence that my body and its cycles share the same patterns as those of the Earth.

I came into contact with multiple Indigenous communities, until I eventually went to live with the Pataxó in Bahia, Brazil, getting closer to other ways of relating to the land.

In Brazil, I found ways to manage the pain and other symptoms of endometriosis naturally and in a way that felt aligned. I reconnected with my pleasure and my magic, and discovered my creative power.

After completing my Master’s in Environmental Education, I worked for IUCN, in partnership with Opepa. I researched, wrote, and co-published a document advising governments on how to implement nature-based education as a global conservation strategy.

Once again, this process showed me compelling scientific evidence that reproductive health and planetary health are inseparable.

This same year, I became certified as a full-spectrum doula.

Through this process, I understood that caring for our bodies and reproductive health can also be an act of environmental restoration.

I then worked with a Canadian company to bring nature closer to children and helped create an NGO that brings green spaces to the most underserved schools.

At the same time, I experienced a pregnancy loss that was devastating and led me to ask profound questions about motherhood, life, and death.

What happens inside is reflected outside.
What happens outside influences what happens within.

Have you heard of it?

The idea is simple: 5 days in bed, 5 days on bed, and 5 days around bed.

Fifteen days of slowing down, allowing your body to rest and recover, connect with the baby, regenerate, and gradually fall into the new rhythms.

Postpartum recovery deserves time, tenderness, and care. by @terramorpho

A few weeks ago I moved in with a family I love, to help them through their fourth trimester. Here’s what ‘holding’ actually looks like.

If you’re a parent, what was your postpartum like? If you’re not, how have you supported postpartum parents?

Everyone asks about the baby’s eating schedule, how much weight has she gained, and if she is breastfeeding, pumping, or with formula. Nobody asks what it costs the person doing the feeding. The reality is breastfeeding happens every 2 to 3 hours, day and night, in a body that’s still healing.

Let’s talk about pumping… There’s no golden hour and no soft light. Just discipline, exhaustion, discomfort, and weirdness. But mommy’s doing it anyway.

A well-fed, supported, and rested household becomes a healthy mother happily breastfeeding, a father that can fully support baby and mommy, patient and loving parents, and the strength to make it through the night. Feeding them isn’t extra. It’s part of the job.

One of the most undervalued pillar of the postpartum keychain; no one ever asks how they are doing. Postpartum support isn’t just for mom. Dads need somewhere to place their fears and a safe space to learn and navigate this new realm.

The realistic postpartum ratio is 3 Adults vs 1 Newborn… Surprised? Well, it does take a village. That’s the real ratio in the first weeks. Not because anyone’s failing but because one tiny human requires an entire ecosystem.

Your fluffy friends take a secondary role, but they still need to be fed and loved.

The truth is that you have no head for them.
Keeping everyone in the household loved, alive, and cuddled is part of my job during Bloom & Heal. It’s simple but it makes a huge difference.

This is also the truth of what holding a household during postpartum looks like. Just staying close, reading the room, finding patterns, anticipating needs, supporting in whichever way they need your love, and making this easy for everyone. Postpartum services is about staying long enough and giving the family a space to breathe and trust the process.

Cliché or not, it does takes a village. Sometimes the village is one person who shows up for two weeks and does the dishes, the laundry, cooks a by @terramorpho

For most of human history, we lived in community. We cared for each other, raised children together, shared what we had, and leaned on one another.

We weren’t meant to do everything alone.

Because the truth is being HELD was part of everyday life.

The truth is we don’t need to hold everything on our own.

We need to remember what it feels like to be HELD, too.

Something beautiful is coming…

STAY TUNED! by @terramorpho

Creo que Marina Mara del Mar, la van con la que viajé casi un mes por Portugal, me hizo ver el mundo de otra manera. Porque, conocer y explorar el mundo es también una manera de conocerse a uno mismo.

Moverme con ella de un lugar a otro me permitió vivir los espacios de una forma mucho más cercana. Llegar a un pueblo y poder quedarme, dormir rodeada de naturaleza, despertar ahí, caminar, hablar con la gente, observar cómo se mueve cada lugar, la energía que se respira, las formas y los ritmos.

Sentí que empecé a absorber mucho más. No solo lo que veía, sino lo que cada espacio me hacía sentir.

Y, en ese proceso, también empecé a entenderme más a mí.

Viajar no siempre tiene que ser llegar a un lugar conocer e irse. A veces es permitirte habitarlo el tiempo suficiente para que algo de ese espacio y de sus formas se quede contigo.

.

I think Marina Mara del Mar, the van I travelled around Portugal in for almost a month, made me see the world differently. Because getting to know and exploring the world is also a way of getting to know yourself on a much deeper level.

Moving from one place to another in her allowed me to experience each place in a much more intimate way. Arriving in a village and being able to stay, sleep surrounded by nature, wake up there, walk around, talk to people, observe how each place moves, the energy it carries, its shapes and rhythms.

I felt like I started absorbing so much more. Not just what I was seeing, but what each place made me feel.

And through that process, I also started to understand myself better.

Travelling doesn’t always have to mean arriving somewhere, seeing it, and leaving. Sometimes, it’s about allowing yourself to inhabit a place for long enough that something about its space, its rhythm, and its way of being stays with you. by @terramorpho

Hoy les comparto un video muy personal, porque habla de algo que llevo tiempo trabajando en mí: dejar de pensar que la rareza es algo negativo.

Aprender a verla de otra manera, habitarla y, poco a poco, celebrarla.

Today I’m sharing a very personal video, because it talks about something I’ve been working on for a while: letting go of the idea that being weird is something negative.

Learning to see it differently, to embrace it, and slowly, to celebrate it. by @terramorpho

No estamos hechos para atravesar el dolor en soledad.

Compartir nuestros duelos, pérdidas y transiciones también es una forma de volver a nosotros mismos.

We are not meant to go through pain alone.

Sharing our grief, losses, and transitions can also be a way of finding our way back to ourselves. by @terramorpho

Casi dos semanas después del terremoto en Colombia, muchas personas siguen reconstruyendo sus vidas.

La ansiedad climática es la respuesta emocional que sentimos cuando los cambios en nuestro entorno nos recuerdan nuestra vulnerabilidad y la falta de control. El miedo, la incertidumbre y la ansiedad son respuestas naturales cuando la tierra que nos sostiene, la base de la que dependemos, tiembla.

Porque somos parte de la tierra que habitamos, y lo que le ocurre también nos afecta.

.

Almost two weeks after the earthquake in Colombia, many people are still rebuilding their lives.

Climate anxiety is the emotional response we experience when changes in our environment remind us of our vulnerability and lack of control. Fear, uncertainty, and anxiety are natural responses when the ground beneath us, the foundation we depend on, shakes.

Because we are part of the earth we inhabit, and what happens to it affects us too. by @terramorpho

Caminar por este bosque fue encontrarme con la vida y la muerte al mismo tiempo. El corazón de Portugal se quemó en 2016. Árboles que parecían haber desaparecido entre llamas ahora son la base para pequeñas y nuevas plantas abriéndose paso.

Creo que esa es una de las cosas que más nos cuesta aceptar como seres humanos. Vivimos con miedo a los finales. Nos cuesta dejar ir relaciones, etapas, versiones de nosotros mismos. Sentimos que cuando algo termina, también termina una parte de nuestra historia.

Pero la naturaleza nos recuerda otra cosa. La muerte no siempre es el final; muchas veces es tan sólo el comienzo de algo nuevo. Hay versiones de quienes somos que tienen que morir para dejar espacio a las que todavía no conocemos.

La naturaleza no lucha contra ese ciclo. Nosotros, en cambio, pasamos gran parte de la vida intentando evitarlo. La vida también es aprender a relacionarnos con la muerte: no sólo con la del final de la vida, sino con todas esas pequeñas muertes que acompañan cada proceso de transformación.

…

Walking through this forest was to meet life and death, simultaneously. The heart of Portugal burnt in 2016. Trees that seemed to have disappeared amongst the flames are now the foundation for small and new sprouts making way.

I think this is one of the things that are incredibly hard for us to understand as humans. We live with fear of endings. We struggle to let go of relationships, chapters, versions of ourselves. We feel that when something ends, a part of our story ends with it.

But nature reminds us of something different. Death is not always the end; it’s mostly just the beginning. There are version of ourselves that need to die to open space for what we still don’t know.

Nature doesn’t fight this cycle. But we spend a big part of our lives trying to avoid it. Life is also about learning to relate to death: not just the death at the end of life as we know it, but also all those little deaths that are part of every process of transformation. by @terramorpho
