Three years ago, I made one of the most deeply personal and intentional decisions of my life.
I chose a completely wild pregnancy and a free birth for my son, Toussaint.
This decision was not impulsive, reckless, or taken lightly. This was my sixth baby. I trusted my body, my intuition, and my experience. I committed fully to nurturing both myself and my child through nourishment, movement, herbs, stillness, and mindset.
After immersing myself in Birth Without Violence, by Frédérick Leboyer borrowed to me by the lovely
and Placenta: The Forgotton Chakra, by Robin Lim.
My entire perspective shifted. We are not only born physically, we are born energetically. The environment, the sounds, the emotions, the hands that receive us… they matter.
Having experienced highly clinical hospital births before, I knew I wanted something different. Something softer. Something sacred. Something fully within my own space and energy.
For three slow, powerful days, my body did exactly what it was designed to do.
And then, surrounded by love, fairy lights, warm water, and family — Toussaint entered this realm.
Calm. Peaceful. Observing.
No bright lights. No chaos. No urgency. Just presence.
And this calm had an effect on pain management,so much so that I didn't believe it was true labour until this moment, and he started crowning. I didn't even have to push, by body did it all 🙏🏽
This birth changed me. It deepened my understanding of how important it is to protect the transition into life. From darkness to light. From water to air. From womb to world.
Every woman must walk her own path, but this was mine — and it was everything I had dreamed of.
Forever grateful for this experience, this strength, and this beautiful soul.

This is only a clip from a 10 minute edit my son made for me, but I wanted to show you a natural birth is possible and to help remove the fear and stigma.
Your body was designed to do this.
The pain isn't stronger than you because it is you 💚
