Earthwise Mothering
Earthwise Mothering is more than a philosophy; it’s a way of life that honors the wisdom of nature and the strength of community.
The
birth
of
earthwise mothering
This venture was birthed from our collective and deep love and interest in spirituality, maternal and child health, and overall well-being. Our varied experiences of sitting in women's circles, participating in earthy rituals, communing with nature, and exploring the feminine ancient arts has activated a cellular remembrance in each of us and we hope to nurture a similar remembrance and coming home in other women.
Earthwise mothering- Rooted in intuition & holistic care
We are dedicated to mothering mothers while they mother their children, providing the support, empowerment, and resources needed to thrive. Our approach is grounded in the belief that by nurturing our connection to nature, trusting our intuition, and prioritizing wellness, we can create a harmonious and enriching environment for both mothers and children.

Ashley Anderson is a stay at home mama with two little ones and one on the way. She spends her days reading, in the garden, exploring nature and walking with her kids, cooking nourishing foods and finding creative outlets for anything that inspires her in the moment.
Ashley has been teaching yoga for 11 years and while she enjoys teaching many types, she has a passion for prenatal/postpartum yoga and Yin yoga. She also specializes in Ayurveda - yoga's sister science of wellbeing and longevity. Before beginning her motherhood journey Ashley owned a micro bakery focused on sourdough breads and other slow fermented traditional ways of baking.
Ashley is inspired to live simply, intuitively and in alignment with what is showing up in the now. She loves to share information that inspires other mamas to get to know themselves more fully, to be in their motherhood with the deep knowing that all the answers reside within themselves. She believes as creative women and mothers we are on a journey of remembering our true nature and the connection we all share as well with our mothers, grandmothers, ancestors. She encourages women to come as they are, knowing that true sisterhood and motherhood can shed shame and guilt as we all reconnect with the great feminine.

Madeline McCauley
Madeline McCauley is a mother, a lover, a sober-eyed realist filled with wonder, a business-woman, and a bit of a goof. She has been attending and supporting deaths in community for five years. She gets broken open by every death she attends. She has learned and is still learning from Lashanna Williams of A Sacred Passing the true meanings of the words “doula” and “community.” She is a student of myth and adores the work of Josh Schrei, of The Emerald Podcast, and recommends his podcast to everyone. She believes that Animacy is Normative Consciousness. She studied Ayurveda from The Shakti School, and continues to learn Vedic teachings from Kaya Mindlin.
Madeline also works at a software start-up as an executive for the sales, marketing, and partnership functions. People she meets at work think her hobbies are bizarre, and people she meets through her passions and spiritual life often think her paid work sounds horrible or possibly unethical.
She likes to sit around and sing with her Shruti Box to the benevolent spirits where she is at. She is the daughter of two now-retired psychologists, who taught her to value realness in people, and what it is to listen. She is married to a contrarian Capricorn of a cannabis-farming man, and together they are raising a 7 year old boy with a baby girl on the way. Her family lives nestled in the foothills of the Cascades.

values
Empowerment
Women often find themselves in the constant mode of serving others with a complete loss of boundaries. But a woman who is in her power cannot easily be swayed by the opinions of others. Her inner voice is strong and clear, and she lives her purpose unapologetically. She knows who she is and is comfortable in her own skin. She's equal parts nurturing and fierce, and importantly, she knows which the moment calls for. It's time for women to step into their power and live in alignment with their Highest Selves. Women need this, our children need this, and the world needs this, too.
Connection
We live in a constant state of disconnect from ourselves, our families, and the very Earth we live on. Instead, we've yoked ourselves to our phones, computers, technology, and countless societal expectations. Earthwise Mothering is a safe forum for exploring and returning to oneself while also cultivating a sisterhood to connect with other women. It encourages becoming reacquainted and deeply connected with the depth of your own Soul, your family, other supportive women, and the Earth. It is returning home.
Wellness
Earthwise Mothering inspires wellness through intentional choices and practices that nourish the body, mind, and spirit and that are rooted in harmony with the rhythms and cycles of the Natural World. It is our belief that when we mother mothers, we all thrive.
We encourage holistic wellness by providing resources that expand our knowledge about mindfulness and movement practices that build strength and resiliency. We are committed to reconnecting families with nature and to the spiritual upliftment of humanity through ritual and ceremonial practices that connect us to the Sacred.
