Toward a healthier, more connected and equitable world
Our Medicine Consulting
Our Medicine Consulting is a leading expert in designing and implementing storytelling interventions for health systems – including hospitals, foundations, departments of public health, non profits, community health centers, and national departments of public health. I work with health organizations to embed a culture of storytelling, humanize data, and highlight community solutions to national health equity disparities.
Our Medicine Online Community
Our Medicine is a weekly exploration of love, storytelling, and rematriation. The focus is on Indigenous community building, personal and collective medicine, and a collection of beliefs grounded in love and togetherness as a means of surviving and thriving. Love, as we define it, is medicine. This writing is an exploration of the human tapestry of wisdom rooted in collective care.
Muungas Doula Services
Birth & postpartum are ceremonies, and I founded Muungas Doula Services as a commitment to maintaining the personal, cultural, and community practices that surround birth and protect the health of every birthing person and child. You deserve to make the choices that best serve your body and family, and I am here to support that decision making.
“To many in this modern world, data means statistically significant numbers and is seen as the only valid way to document reality. Murphy Barney understands how bereft of truth and usefulness this definition really is, especially for historically marginalized people, small groups, and rural communities. Murphy is an ally and a partner in bringing these voices to the table in ways that honor their traditions and reduce the harm that can be done with extractive data collection approaches. She is a pleasure to work with – always teaching, always advocating, and always drawing me closer to a true understanding of what health equity should look like in our community.”
I am available for facilitation, organizational consultancy, speaking engagements, panel discussions, and other collaborative endeavors that move us in the direction of the world we bravely imagine can be true.
