Most of us stand on the cusp of giving birth for the first time having never seen birth.  We are living in such a strange historical moment of disconnection and misinformation about what birth is, what birth has to offer, and what birth can be.  Birth is not just one thing...it is many things. Birth is the physical opening of a body.  It's the mysterious psychological shift of who we know ourselves to be.  It's the entrance of a new person to the Earth.  It's the metamorphosis of two people becoming parents.  It's a portal into the interconnectedness of time and relationship.  Birth is huge!  A truly amazing life event.  This transformation, especially for the first time, will change a person completely.  Birth creates the relationship of Mother, it offers the most precious gift of connection with our grounded life force,  and it perhaps gives us a glimpse at what is truly real.  

 

 Preparing yourself for birth is really important work.  For most of us, the bulk of the work is internal, and therefore deeply personal.  External work of finding the right this or that, or knowing everything there is to know about birth will likely not prepare you enough.  To become  open enough to physically birth a baby, a woman is invited  to shed her familiar personality  in order to find an expression of herself she has never met.  Her intuition will whisper for her to find her power deep within.  Most of us have lived life not seeing others transform in this way.  Life has not prepared us for our turn; yet, we were designed specifically for this.   We know at our core that we were made to experience this deep transformation.  

 

I wholeheartedly believe in women and their bodies, and I believe birth was designed to be safe and experienced fully.  I deeply enjoy holding space for the offerings of birth.
