We are ever connected to something greater: something cosmic and benevolent. If you have a womb, you know well the gift of release and regeneration. If you’ve grown or birthed a child, you know well the miracle of life and purpose and wonder. If you’re a human on this planet, you understand fully the intrinsic magic of breath and curiosity and enthrallment. Stay spiritually diligent in these times, dear hearts. Remember you were once a soulful essence, stardust, light matter who crossed the bridge of universes and became the womb song of a woman. You are stitched with intention and pulsing with LIFE AFFIRMING passion. Creation is working for your highest good. Trust it. ☀️

the SKILLS acquired when women assess their babies after birth are foundational to the evolution of our species. as in, they propel us forward in deeper alignment with our innate wisdom.

In undisturbed or free births, women are the sole surveyors of their babies. They do not look outwards and ask if everything is fine, they instead step into the moment and FEEL, from a primal place, how their babies and bodies are in that moment.

And they KNOW. When given the opportunity, women can intuit so much about a situation, even if they’ve never been there before. Our instincts are wired to assess birth and babies, they really just need space and a little lean-in to be activated.

The information received by women taking the opportunity to SENSE and UNDERSTAND the situation is what helps evolve our species. This information creates new neural networks and primes women for interacting with their children, and with life, from a deep sense of informed knowing; a cellular understanding of how to somatically appraise and act.

This stance of *authoritative* knowing is a crucial point of expansion for women becoming mothers and for the human species as a whole, as this type of self-created power is a prime source of ingenuity, authenticity and flexible creativity. yet another built in & lifelong reward of woman-led-births ✨

Oxytocin serves many functions. One being initiating uterine contractions. This, obviously, brings babies to earth.

But oxytocin doesn’t stop flowing once the baby is born, and in fact it MUST continue to surge to ensure the uterus releases the placenta and then begins to firm up, shrink in size and clot sufficiently to prevent excessive bleeding.

oxytocin is a shy hormone. she flees at the first disruption or in any situation of panic or fear. and artificial oxytocin has NADA on the real deal. in fact, artificial oxytocin (pictocin) CAUSES postpartum hemorrhage. so your best bet is to work with your body’s natural source of this amazing hormone.

after the baby is born, oxytocin comes in oceans and continues when mamas hold their babies on their naked chests immediately after birth. when they smell their heads, kiss their bodies and bathe in the cosmic love of mother and child, mamas not only feel good (and so does everyone else in the room!) they are also being protected on a physiological level, as oxytocin does its work of finalizing the birth process by helping the placenta shear away, be birthed and clamp down, thus ensuring mama doesn’t lose too much blood.

this is but one example of why undisturbed births and immediate postpartum halos are absolutely crucial to optimal mother + baby outcomes. when the hormones flow as they are meant to, the reality sinks in that birth itself isn’t risky, it is inherently safe and intelligent and has gone to great lengths to ensure women not only survive, they THRIVE in their newfound power and holiness. . 🙏🏼 ✨ 🦋

sit in our autumn sovereign birth circle beginning October 14 and learn how to optimize your oxytocin and work with the brilliance of your biochemistry! 🩸🍂🌹

the survival of our species, on the most primordial level, is predicated on SUCCESSFUL BIRTH.

we would be extinct by now if birth was not inherently successful; if it lacked true self sufficiency, human beings would be but ash and bones. but alas, birth is extremely accomplished in and of its own perfect capacity. it is SO intelligent, in fact, if left undisturbed, it rarely requires intervention.

nature makes no mistakes, and women are of nature: perfectly designed to carry out biologically imperative functions if they so choose.

so the next time someone outside of your body suggests that your biology requires monitoring, managing and ultimately the inhumane and permanently damaging abduction of one of its most basic, greatest and innate capacities, do remember the very intention behind birth is SUCCESS.

i reflect often on my birth. i remember coming out of my birth portal and thinking, whoa, women’s bodies are incredible, MY body is amazing, what just happened was SO BEYOND me and my control, *I* didn’t DO anything, i was really just along for the ride. the phrase: “you don’t do birth, birth does you” played over in my head.

this lesson has peremeated so many areas of my existence since that cold February night over 2 years ago. through my lived experience of bodily brilliance, i have cultivated a new trust in her function. at an earlier time in life i was quite the hypochondriac... but things have changed since i gave birth. i rarely question my body’s expression of wellness... if I notice imbalance i have a solid trust she will right herself, or will tell me what to do to assist her.

from a very primitive and evolutionary standpoint, my body was designed to thrive. i have found this recalibration in my confidence towards my body’s abilities truly liberating, as now i work under the sincere framework that my body is absolutely and always working FOR ME. her benevolence shines through everyday, even when i am misaligned.

i’m no longer scared of her mystery or magnitude, i am not frightened by the thought that she is changing and aging and ultimately, dying. i trust her process so completely; see my body as a holistic entity with such grace and integrity; a temple I serve and pray to and LISTEN to with all of my senses.

my birth journey brought me in right relation with my body.

what lessons have you gleaned from your birth dance? would love to hear from you 💛

The Birthing Queen and her Loyal Council.

There can be a variety of roles adapted and played out in the birth room. What I see most often in medical births, is hero and victim, where the OB/midwife dawns the hero’s cape and the birthing woman is the damsel in distress requiring immediate deliverance from the clutches of her inadequate woman body. The hero swoops in, makes all the decisions, manages her physiology and effectively forces her via either coercion or removal of care to follow their commands. The emergency that is birth is by any and all means subjugated and the helpless woman is rescued. •
•
Ah but what a shame this is cultures current accepted drama. Because it can look so different. It can look like:
•
•
Queen and Council.
•
•
where the birthing woman is the queen; royal, regal, fierce and tender, at the center of the room, full autonomy over her body and experience, all aspects decided by her. her council of wise support surrounds her, offering guidance and advice, IF SOUGHT. she has the first and final say in every element of her birth. her animal body and instincts know how to give birth and when to open up to the good advice of her loyal council. •
•
•
queen and council births are in alignment with biology, hormonal function, instinctual selves and respecting the dignity and brilliance of the birthing woman.
•
•
The choice is yours. Your crown is already on your head. 👑

Birth is that sweet spot between normalcy and purity. It is so basic and right in its place in everyday life, yet at the same time it is quite literally the most holy and potent initiation into higher levels of consciousness and healing. A divine paradox, don’t you think? ✨
