The Soulful Midwife

16/07/2025

Evening Folks!!

I've made a decision to give The Soulful Midwife a bit of time off as I’ve been quietly working on another project.

Something that means a lot to me.

It’s called 💚 🤎 Matralia 🤎 💚

A women’s space for truth, rest, learning, and connection.

No pressure, no performance… just a place for biological women to be real, be held, and remember we’re not alone.

If that speaks to you, or if you know a woman who’s carrying too much and needs somewhere safe to land, I’d love for you to join us!!! 😀

You can follow the page here:

🔗 Matralia

And please feel free to invite your sisters, friends, aunties, mums... anyone who needs this kind of space.

I’m so excited to grow this community and I’d be honoured to share it with you 💛

👁️ Did you ever wonder why the baby’s taken across the room? Why the cord is clamped fast, the mother left shaking, the lights so bright it feels like judgment?

Did you ever feel the stillness—the eerie quiet when the father’s hands are empty, the grandmother’s not in the room, and the newborn is nowhere near a breast?

It’s not just medicine.
It’s not just policy.
It’s a ritual.
And it’s not ours.

🧬 They inject pig-derived Pitocin to mimic the hormone God designed to flood a woman’s brain in labor. But it doesn’t reach the brain. It only contracts the body.
The love doesn’t flow.
The imprint doesn’t land.
The bonding doesn’t seal.
Just pressure. Just force.

💉 Synthetic love.
⚡ Counterfeit release.
🧠 Neurological silence.

And while the woman is watched but not touched, while the baby is wiped but not suckled, while the father is praised for being “supportive” but not leading—
they cut the thread.

👶 The mother-baby dyad was made to reflect divine intimacy. To pass down trust, peace, protection.
But when it’s broken—
the body remembers.
The child stores the grief.
The mother learns disconnection.
The father fades from view.

That’s how it starts. But it doesn’t end there.

Then come the bottles.
The cribs.
The high chairs.
The eight-hour separations called school.
The praise of independence that is really just early detachment.
The lie that the nuclear family is enough. That Mom runs the home. That Dad is just for weekends. That children are safest raised by strangers in buildings funded by gods they do not know.

🕳️ We are not looking at broken systems.
We are looking at precision-engineered fragmentation.

And you feel it. You’ve felt it all along.
That something was taken before you could name it.
That someone was missing even while you were being told you had “everything you need.”

But listen: the lie only wins if we let it.
And we won’t.
We are pulling the babies back to the breast.
We are restoring the mother's voice in the birth room.
We are putting grandmothers back at the table.
We are praying over the placenta.
We are keeping them close at night.
We are burning the counterfeit and walking in the design.
This is not soft work.
It is a holy war

So, I saw this post on a mums group recently, and I'm not going to lie, I was shocked!!

While I am 100% in support of women birthing their babies in a facility they are familiar with...
.. the concept of being induced, I.e. having significant medical intervention that could pose a risk to you or your baby, in order to suit your social schedule is just beyond me. 🥴🤯

Shall we all have a mastectomy just in case we get breast cancer when we go on holiday next year? 🤔

How about I opt for my appendix to be taken out now, just in case... 🤷‍♀️

Really, have we reached this point where waiting for the natural birth of your baby is such an incredible inconvenience that we would risk major medical interventions to make our social life a little more...convenient?

How about, don't go on the trip? Or go and be prepared to come home if you feel like you might be going into labour, or let's face it, anywhere up to 42 weeks is considered full term to give birth, chances are you will still have your holiday and come home to birth your baby....

Is it worth the risks associated with the induction at 37 weeks, when there are so many variables!?

I've also got a bit of beef around this 'due date' business, if anyone fancies a wee trip into my thoughts... 💭

Holy moly what a crazy few weeks it has been, I've had to take myself away from social media to fit it all in...but guess what... I'm back!! 🧡

In the past two weeks I've...

🏠 Helped my parents clear out the past 25 years of their lives and move house (local charity shops are now fully restocked and I'm definitely taking some credit for the local Tip improving their recycling stats!)

🏘 Packed up my own life and moved to Manchester!

🐈 Acquired a couple of Beautiful Cat-mates (like a flatmate but more floofy!) ...who seem to have claimed my bed as their own, boundaries must be set!!🤨

🏃‍♀️ Ran my first ever 6k! Not gonna lie, it was a bit sweaty, but I Loved it! Never ceases to amaze me what my body can achieve when I get out of my own way!

🏨 And even managed to squeeze in a few hospital shifts, in the hopes of a little rest from the house moving fun...and in true unpredictable maternity style, it was manic!!!

I'm exhausted, but super excited!!!

I can't wait to get immersed in my new life in Manchester, and be able to fully resume 'business as usual' for The Soulful Midwife! 🤓

Hope you've all had a great few weeks, enjoyed a fabulous sunny Bank Holiday weekend and are striving to always achieve the best you can and make the most of this wonderous journey of life!

In so many aspects of our lives we would enlist the support and knowledge of a professional in that field.

Why should having a baby be any different??

Will you put the same level of self-importance to your pregnancy as you would your business, fitness or mental health?

Having additional support during this beautiful time of your life can help you to really appreciate and optimize your experience.

Personalised sessions with me will help you understand your options, make sense of the medical minefield, ease your anxieties and give you a sounding board for all of those little questions that you never dared ask!

DM me today to start your journey to a truly wonderful and empowered pregnancy, birth and beyond.


Much Love
Jas

🧡💛🧡
