My Birth Philosophy
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of women and their bodies.
The workings of nature are profoundly beautiful and incredibly intricate. The innate intelligence that is present in our bodies goes far beyond our current medical understanding and yet, what we do know is that the body works in mostly predictable ways, especially in birth. There is a hormonal blueprint that stewards the process of birth, creating the journey of birth itself. Our full understanding of this process is ever unfolding, but as the learning process develops we are finding just how essential the natural hormonal process is to not only birth but the health and wellbeing of Mother and baby.
It is my personal belief that by trusting this process, understanding our bodies, and having faith in divine orchestration, birth returns to its innate divine, biological process. This sacred gateway welcomes a new soul onto the planet, rebirths a woman into a new version of herself, and expands the family into new levels of love.
This process of returning to the original blueprint of undisturbed birth takes dissolving, unlearning, & releasing the modern, medical approach that birth is a medical event that needs intervention. And the discovery of our internal intuition, innate capacity, & power to allow the natural unfolding to occur by itself. With this plus the education on the physiological and hormonal birth process, we can intentionally set the stage for a wild pregnancy and birth.
Re-remembering, honoring, & nurturing our true wild nature is best done at home in our own sanctuary, where our body feels the safest. Having a relaxed nervous system is the key component in allowing the body to move through the natural hormonal sequence. Creating a sacred space in your home can be the altar of Love that you welcome your baby into. This energetic temple space that is created will be the first imprint on the child and will nurture Mother in her becoming and healing processes.
From the moment of the first thought of bringing a child in, through the pre-conception journey, into pregnancy, throughout the journey of birth, and through postpartum we can consciously & intentionally choose how we wish to experience life. Although we can never guarantee outcomes, the process of living intentionally is a co-creation with life in which we play a role instead of being along for the ride. It also allows us to take radical self-responsibility for the things that we can influence.
Parenthood is a beautiful, intense, and profound journey. It is my honor to support parents in becoming clear in the way in which they choose to move into and through this journey. And celebrate and uplift them along the way. I am here to remind you, that you don’t need to do it alone, nor should you. I’m bringing back the medicine of “it takes a village”. Let’s create sacred, loving spaces for our children to be welcomed in and raised in together.
