Catherine Lightfoot holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a focus on Child Development and Anthropology and is a retired traditional midwife. She studied yoga and personal spiritual development at a small spiritual school in southern India. Catherine believes that birth is a sacred passage for an emerging conscious being, and mutual respect for all involved is a basic human right. She is most passionate about unveiling awareness of prenatal and perinatal consciousness because peace on Earth begins before birth. This is the focus of her sacred work called the Four Baskets. ‘Four Baskets’ refers to the timeframes of conception, gestation, birth and the first hours after birth. Our earliest experiences within the Four Baskets create the lens through which we perceive the rest of our lives. Bringing awareness to your Four Baskets is a vital step in birthing your own authentic self, and being the change we wish to see in the world.  Catherine homesteads with her family in the Missouri Ozarks and can often be found walking among the wildflowers.

• Heal your Birth to Heal the Earth
