Birth is sacred. And it is meant to be sovereign.
But with great transitions comes great grief - grief for loss, for change, for unrealized hopes and dreams.
My first freebirth in hut in Hawaii.
I am a three-time Freebirthing mama of two daughters and one surrogate Angel Baby.
I have experienced many facets of birth, from quick and sovereign to life-risking and tragic.
The Angel Baby, Lucien, was stillborn at 17 weeks; I was a surrogate for a high school friend. The placenta did not detach and I hemorrhaged. I almost lost my life, and my uterus. But I kept both and allowed the experience to expand my capacity to hold grief and joy. At the time I was just beginning to work with women processing their birthing trauma; yet I had never had a traumatic experience. And so in a beautifully awful way, this experience gave me embodied knowing of what it means to walk through that underworld.
I help women prepare for Birth by facing their fears and getting clear on their vision for this sacred event. Birth preparation is paradoxical; mothers must hold the power of their clear intention, while surrendering FULLY to the uncontrollable unfolding of Birth.
I also create safe containers for women to process Birthing Trauma with Somatic Therapy. Many postpartum mothers are not given space to express the trauma, disappointment, isolation and grief that often accompanies birthing.
As a Freebirthing mother and over a decade of birth research and activism, I cannot guarantee any type of birth experience; but I can be a guide as you traverse this initiation from maidenhood to motherhood; and I can hold fearless presence for your fears and grief.
