bringing birth home to the body
embodied birth mentor training
After supporting mothers to birth their babies for over 20 years i created a birth preparation course that i knoew would actually make a real impact - Embodied Birth
This program is a magical potion of somatic pregnancy yoga, meditation, breathwork and hypnobirthing with grounding physiological birth education and vital community building. It takes mothers out of their neocortex 'thinking brain' and into the limbic 'animal brain' - because birth is a whole body experience.
The powerful combination of movement with the breath and a deep inner knowing of how birth unfolds within the body physiologically enables mothers to work in partnership with their body and their baby.
Over the years that i have been running this program alongside my doula practice i saw the undeniably positive impact that this method has not only on birth itself but on the pregnancy experience as whole.
Mothers don't need a teacher to tell them how to birth
They don't need another class full of 'positive vibes' yoga and the latest maternity gear
They need to be gently guided and reminded that they already know how to do this.
That their body was made for this and they can trust their ability and intuition
That they are powerful and fully in control of this experience
That birth is a rite of passage that will change them on every level and it gets to be beautiful
“Women…are storytellers. They are nurturers…filled with creative forces when they are fertile, pregnant or birthing. Millions of years of biology are on their side to ‘bring forth.’ Nothing can stop the power behind that force, not even the woman herself…She is the living essence of the future. She is a holy woman and there is intelligence at work in her.
It is sacred energy.”
–Sister MorningStar
