This is birth held by devotion 🥹❤️

A woman birthing in her power.
A man standing, unwavering beside her.

✨ Encouraging
✨ Holding
✨ TRUSTING her as the authority 🤲🏼

👉🏼 THIS is what aligned support looks like 👈🏼

Note his knowledge of birth physiology
Reverence for her process
Delight in birth 😍
No rush, no fear, only presence 🕊️

Two people, deeply steady,
Meeting something wild and holy 🔥

Mama, shares her story:

“From the moment my contractions started, to the moment we birthed our third son, it was three hours […]

This time, even though it was quick, it felt like a steady unfolding. From the very beginning, my contractions were four minutes apart, and I could feel that once it began, it wasn’t going to be long.

A lot of grief came up… A lot of emotion. I cried so much through my first phase contractions - and I know I was crying for the miscarriage I had a couple of years ago. The baby I birthed through death. It came through in waves, and it surprised me, because I wasn’t expecting it to be part of this birth… but it was […] It was grief, and love, and release - all braided together. And then it kept moving. It felt like a true cycle wheel experience...

We birthed our beautiful son - just my husband and I.

We’ve done so much work to get here. Building the kind of inner steadiness that lets you meet something as wild and holy as birth, without needing to be rescued from it. I know my body… I know how I birth. I felt deeply held by my own knowing. I had no tears. No grazes. I listened. I let my body tell me. Thats the secret recipe to birth… you have to become the instrument.

[...]Rewatching this video, I’ve never been more in love with my man.. The way Josh held that space for me - unwavering, protective, grounded, present - it was devotion. It was the divine masculine in its truest form. The kind of presence that makes a woman feel safe enough to fully be.

Birth is so raw. So real. So god damn holy. Blessed to be woman.”

Babies know 🫶🏼

Before the world teaches schedules and separation
before advice tells you to “practice independence”
your baby knows exactly what they need

You.
Your body, your milk
Your presence 🤍

If your baby cries in the car seat
won’t sleep alone or take a bottle or dummy...

It’s not a problem, it’s healthy attachment 🤲🏼

Breastfeeding is more than food
It is regulation. connection and safety 🫧

💧 Your baby’s attachment to you is their first safety map
💧 Breastfeeding supports emotional and physiological regulation
💧 Being close teaches your baby that they are safe
💧 Feeling safe with you lays a foundation for lifelong resilience

So when your baby feeds, remember:
their nervous system settles
their heart rate stabilises
stress hormones lower
and bonding hormones rise
for both of you ✨

You are not “too much”
You are not creating “unhealthy dependence”

You are meeting biology with biology 🤲🏼

Babies are not meant to “self soothe”
They are meant to be soothed
To be held, intimately and intelligently fed
To be known ❤️

So if your baby likes you “a whole lot”
that is not something to fix
That is something to *revel in* 🌸

It’s not indulgence
It is how humans have always begun ✨

This is the beauty of family centred birth ✨

Children witnessing physiological birth
Undisturbed
Held gently
Sacred ❤️

They ask questions
They observe
They name what they see
The placenta
The cord
The vernix 🤲🏼

This is not just cute
Not is it simply a photobook memory for the family

It is a powerful remembrance 🔥
One that frees their generation 🕊️
One that grounds their lives in biological truth 🍃
It is safe, wholesome and potent 🙏🏼
It’s an investment, and insurance, in the future of humanity 🌎

Birth is no longer a mystery
or something to fear

In this moment it becomes normalised
It is understood
It is known, familiar 🫧
It is once again rewoven into the fabric of their beings 🧶

An accurate counter narrative to the stories our culture tells about birth 👁✨

This is how we nourish a new generation
One that remembers birth as powerful
As natural and as something we can trust 🔥

In the space of seconds... ✨

She moves through bliss
Ecstasy
Anticipation
Deep physical work
Total presence

And then suddenly
another dimension 🌀

Tears and joy dance together
The world cracking open
and reforming around her 🤍

Witness the capacity of women
To traverse it all 🔥
with grace
with steadiness
with power
with an ease that blooms in safety.

One of many reasons why birth atmosphere matters ✨

Dim light at home 🏡
Her birthing soundtrack steady in the background
Family close
Familiar hands
Familiar voices 🕯️

Safe to feel everything
Safe to voice everything
No performance
No limitation
No watching ears or judging eyes 🕊️

She has SPACE 🫧

Only her man holds her ❤️
His presence unwavering
His voice calm, gently echoing her desires back to her as baby emerges 💫
TRUE support.

This is what happens
when a woman is held just enough
and trusted completely 🌺

“I believe in the end of the traumatic birthing era” 🔥 - Ellen Fisher

A line in the sand 🚫

Not someday, NOW.

One woman at a time 🕊️
Reclaiming her body
Her baby
Her birth 🤲🏼

By turning inward
By listening deeper
By trusting her intuition
By remembering her physiology 🌿

The trauma ends when women stop outsourcing what they *know*
What we’re working hard to REMEMBER.
When birth is no longer something to survive
But something to [insert something better here, around respect, revelry, deep innerstanding]

To feel
To open to
To be changed by 🌀

Let 2026 see a *returning* to birth 💫

Returning birth to women
To families
To privacy
To reverence
To power 🔥

May it be the end of an era of fear, of lies, of trauma.

And the rebirthing of something ancient
Something wild, soft
and sovereign 🕊️

Here we are
Birthing the future
With our bodies
And our remembering ✨

Birth is an opening ✨

See how she opens:
🌸 mouth wide as she vocalises,
🌸 yoni softening as her baby crowns,
🌸 chest open, heart lifted, ready to receive

This is not just an opening to sensation,
but an opening to the unseen 🌀

Eyes closed, she travels inward
through instinct, through heart,
through the thinning veil between worlds 🌌

She opens slowly.
And so she returns slowly.

Baby is born; witnessed, waited for, honoured.
Allowed to transition gently
as they rise into their mother’s arms 🫧

This is the wisdom of slow birth.
Opening wide.
Welcoming softly.
Trusting completely 🕊️

Pause here: what you are witnessing is one of the most biologically significant moments of a woman’s life ✨

This isn’t dramatic rhetoric,
or poetic indulgence for Instagram.
No…

Mother and baby are literally falling in love in these moments 🫶

And therefore it is vital that we —
as mothers,
as birthkeepers, doulas,
witnesses, midwives —
fully comprehend and carry the weight of responsibility associated with this moment 🤲🏼

Undisturbed bonding from the very first breath is not a luxury,
it is necessary 🫧

For mother. For baby.
For their short and long-term wellbeing.

These moments are sacred ✨
They cannot be repeated.
And the blueprint they create lives in both souls for a lifetime 🧬

Watch her.
The way she gazes.
Studies every detail.
The flood of emotion: blissful highs, softened edges, deep release, relief.

This is the fulfilment of her biology 🦋
Her physiology completed.
Her hormonal matrix preserved.
Her design honoured, not interrupted.

Everything within the field of birth should protect this.
Preserve their intimacy.
Guard their privacy 🫧
Hold the vessel so gently 🤲🏼

Because this…
is where a mother falls in love ❤️

And to the mothers whose first moments were rushed, interrupted,
taken in the name of protocol, or altered by genuine necessity:
we see you 🤍

Nothing was wrong with you.
Nothing was missing in your love.

The imprint may feel tender, incomplete, or complex,
and still
your bond is real, alive, and continually unfolding ❤️

May this be an invitation to grieve what wasn’t protected,
to honour what was,
and to remember that love is not limited to one moment
even when that moment deserved to be held more gently 🕊️

A joyful prayer for birth in 2026 ✨

More joy in birth 🌼
More intention
More clarity 🌬
More babies born in peace
More patience, more natural timing
More witnessing and gentle holding 🕊️
More hands-off 🤲🏼
More aligned support
More honouring the mother
More reverence and respect for the sacred
Mothers stepping into self-responsibility 🔥
Mothers feeling supported to do so 💫
Mothers remembering their physiology
Claiming their birth right ✨
Owning their power, their authority
Embracing birth with hearts wide open
More celebration: of birth, of women, of motherhood ❤️

Gratitude to mother, Mikiahwho, for showing us what this can look like:

“I made it a point to appreciate every stage of labor… With every surge, I thanked my body for bringing my baby closer. In between, I thanked my body for a break.”

A bath at home. Candles. Presence. Respect.
Intentional choices. Quiet support. Radical trust.

“It’s made to stretch.” 🌸

She trusted her body to lead.
She birthed her son fully seen, fully honoured, fully celebrated 🌌

This is joyful. Blissful. Intentional birth.
This is 2026 energy 💫

Here’s to more of this ❤️

“I wanted that moment to last forever. Life takes care of life.” 🦋

✨ “Life takes care of life.” ✨

As another calendar year comes to its final hours,
I can’t help but wonder...
Will 2026 be the year we see mothers begin to embody THIS level of trust in birth? In life?
Will we witness and join other mothers as we lead the way in this revolutionary remembrance?

Hold the vision with me, of a world where all mothers experience birth like this:

“All of sudden I felt his head in my fingers, feeling the head in full rotation.
He rotated as he was sliding down the canal.
The information about life serving my purpose dripped down my birth canal.

I shoot from laying down to squatting and my whole body goes into a trance, the crowning felt so good I never wanted it to stop.
12 tons of heavy stones are being released from my body.
There was no trace of pushing.
My body opened itself.
I can have it all.
I didn’t push, but my body opened.

I wanted that moment to last forever.
Life takes care of life.”

Imagine a world where mothers believe “I can have it all” in birth,
where that same belief permeates their motherhood 🙏🏼
Imagine a world where birth is only sweet release, hypnotic, euphoric 🫧
Imagine with me a world where we truly believe,
and all our actions inform, the notion that:
Life takes care of Life ❤️

Blessings of peace and hope and renewal to you all as we begin a new calendar year 💫
