Anja - From fear to orgasm through surrender
Transform Your Birth
I am so excited to share Anja’s story this week. When she came into my class, she was full of fear of birth and parenting. We track her process of transformation - from fear to an orgasmic birth. As women, we all need to know about orgasmic birth - it is secret women’s business, and opens our minds to new possibilities. Anja shares her experience of surrendering, the key shift that opens us all to a better birth experience regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in. This is an essential conversation worth listening to, as we learn to walk our own individual path in birthing...

Jessica - Planned homebirth that ended in caesarean, that changed a woman forever
Transform Your Birth
This week we explore with Jessica, a paramedic, her reasons for choosing a homebirth. She invites us to see the challenges that the medical system has in trusting women to give birth. We explore the twists and turns of a posterior labour that ultimately ended in a caesarean. Jeesica shares with us the results of this experience and how it motivated her to do the inner work, and catapult her into a fierce mother. We explore how birth can take us to places we would never choose, and yet be a powerful transformer just the same. Details of Jessica: Instagram - @jessicajane_og Links: ...

Shelby shares the story of her third birth - a healing birth.
Transform Your Birth
Shelby shares with us today the story of her third birth - which turned out to be a very healing birth. This discussion brought up some powerful wisdom around what we bring into the labour room, our experiences, our belief systems, and even the birth experiences of our own mother. We also explore the undercurrents of our nervous system and the origin of resistance to the pain, through our own innate defenses - and yet mother nature wants us to grow through the pain. In this episode we explore a topic that few talk about - the deeper currents of the birthing journey. I know you will...

Molly and Sam - Meditation, pain, short labour, waterbirth, separation after birth.
Transform Your Birth
Today we hear from Molly and Sam. What an amazing team they were. They share with us their experience of doing the practices and getting the mind on board. Sam was able to hold space for Molly who had a very short birth, ultimately a water birth. Her daughter had to have some extra help breathing, and be taken to NICU, but they were able to handle it really calmly, through having a pre determined plan. This story is really a great example of how intense situations can be handled with the right preparation. Lots of wonderful wisdom again for you this week - enjoy! Links:

Caitlin had a history of mental health challenges. Through the support of her GP, was able to access the right people through the hospital and community to set in place support that enabled her to feel more relaxed about giving birth.

Lizzy - PUPPs, Induction, a posterior labour and epidural used wisely
Transform Your Birth
Lizzy did her best to not overthink birth and was very selective about where she got her information. She did the Transform Your Birth course and realised very quickly that she wouldn’t be in control of birth and was able to surrender to that knowledge and feel calm about giving birth. At the end of her pregnancy she experienced a very itchy condition called PUPP rash, and chose to induce at 41 weeks. Her induction kicked into gear very quickly after they broke her waters. Her baby was in the posterior position, and so she opted for the epidural. Lizzy uses it wisely, and is able to let it...
