Today' s episode starts with a powerful heartfelt poem I received of a birth that did not go to plan, from one of my mothers.

Alexandra Galaska- Making decisions, Informed consent, trusting your inner knowing.
Transform Your Birth
Today I am bringing to you a very important conversation about making decisions with our health providers, and exercising what is called informed consent. Many of us, when pregnant with our first child, have never even set foot in a hospital or needed to make decisions about tests, procedures, vaccinations and interventions. I believe the biggest mistake people make is handing over their decision making to the health professionals, without considering our own choices and what feels right for us. I loved Alexandra’s message, as it is free from giving opinions and more about collecting vital...

Tiahna - VBAC, bodywork, confident advocacy and recovery
Transform Your Birth
I absolutely loved recording this episode, as we covered such important topics that are very easily overlooked when preparing for birth. We go into the preparation of the body, using other modalities like acupuncture and osteopathy, which she believes made a huge difference to having a more comfortable pregnancy and birthing her baby. Tiahna experiences a successful VBAC, with complete confidence in her ability to birth her baby. We discuss how she worked with her caregivers, not against them, when pushing back on medical policy. We also explored the importance of recovery after birth, which...

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...

Corinna - 4 different births, and the wisdom from each one.
Transform Your Birth
Corinna shares her experience of birthing 4 babies. With each birth she reclaimed more responsibility, more confidence and trust in the process, so that by the 4th birth - she felt completely comfortable birthing at home, even though that wasn't the plan. As a result, she has had to buy new pillows! Lots of great insight from a woman who has learnt much along the way. Enjoy! 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:
