Who are we ?
Our Story
Hi ! We are Oni Blecher and Dani Wolff.
We met in early 2020 when Dani invited Oni to give her newborn baby craniosacral therapy. They became quick friends and, later that year, Oni interviewed Dani on the PBB Media podcast called Pregnancy Birth and Beyond. The podcast episode was titled ‘Earth Building and Food Growing; Motherhood in Community with Dani Wolff.’ This interview embodies the meeting of values, purpose, and passion that became the founding principles of Earth to Birth.
Early on, when they met, Dani and Oni discussed a dream of hosting a pregnancy gardening group where pregnant mums could come to gather in the garden. Fast forward to January 2021 and this dream was realised with their first Earthed to Birth pregnancy gardening group. Five years on, and the community has grown in ways they could only have imagined and with a lot more evolutions brewing.
Get to know Dani and Oni in more depth below.
