Growing a new life for nine months and then giving birth to a tiny human being is one of the most incredible things the female body can do.❤️

Giving birth made me realise just how powerful we are as women.
How strong.
How wise our bodies truly are!

For me, birth was the most empowering experience ever.

Definitely, nothing to be afraid of as I used to be as a young girl. I heard so many scary birth stories, even from my family, which could easily make me believe that birth is an emergency by default.

I’m grateful that I could hear other stories.
Beautiful.
Gentle.
Safe.

Today I believe birth can be deeply empowering for every woman, when she is supported by the right people, with the right values, in the right space for her.

A safe and supported birth can look many different ways: natural, medicated, va**nal, C-section.

There is no single “right” story.

What matters is that a woman feels she is in a space aligned with her values.
A space of trust.
Where she feels safe to ask questions.
Safe to speak up.
Safe to be held with care, patience, wisdom, and respect.

When birth is approached in this calm and supportive way, it can definitely become one of the most empowering experiences of a woman’s life.

This reel is a short moment from our birth story.

10 Extremely Helpful Things When Preparing For Pregnancy🤰🏻

1. Sort out (or at least try to) recurring health issues. For me this meant lowering stress levels, 3 months of Ayurvedic herbs & diet, acupuncture sessions - to cool down recurring bladder issues and my hot temperament 😅 Also: visit the dentist.

2. Detoxify everything. Clean and nourishing diet, healthy movement, only natural cosmetics, natural house-cleaning products, emotional cleanse, and a social relationships cleanse.

3. Work on physical & mental wellbeing. Slow down, regulate the nervous system daily, move the body, practice yoga, eat clean, spend time in nature, meditate. Also, read pregnancy and parenting books that help you feel informed and calm.

4. Work through my relationship with my mom & dad until I felt peace when thinking of them.
What do I carry from my childhood into adulthood? For me, this included a lot of meditation, journaling, and a personal development course focused on the parents topic.

5. Face behavioral patterns and beliefs I hold onto and ask: Which ones do I want to carry into the relationship with my child?
Which ones do I choose to work on transforming?

6. Find a doctor aligned with our values and do a pre-pregnancy medical check. We also found a natural birth center where we knew we would love to give birth.

7. Talk openly with my partner. Regularly. Discuss how we imagine being parents, the fears we hold, how we would divide new responsibilities, etc.

8. Plan our work life well so we could create space to take time off for the baby’s arrival and the time after.

9. Spend time with families who have kids (friends, for example) to get a first-hand feeling of what life with children is like 24/7. We spent a month living with dear friends with two kids - very eye-opening for us.

10. Plan where and how you want to spend pregnancy so you feel comfortable and safe. For us, this meant staying in one place for a while, renting a comfortable house for a couple of years, feeling settled yet still light.

We recently started coming out of the house again 🤍

In Hindu tradition, both in India and Bali, mama + baby stay at home for the first 42 days - resting, recovering from birth, and bonding deeply. And we thought it’s a perfect idea! That’s how we spent our first 6 weeks with Ida… and now we’re slowly coming back to the world, one little beach walk at a time 🌊

Before Ida was here, we planned to take a few months off after her birth, knowing we wanted to protect this special time, make the most of it, and keep life simple.

Rohil also took time off - not as long as me, but he came back gently and kept his work to a minimum so we could be all together as much as possible.

The first couple of weeks were messy and tiring, and also full of love in a way we didn’t know was possible. So many emotions at once - joy, gratitude, overwhelm, sleeplessness, deepest love and the constant “how are we already doing laundry again?” 😅

Somewhere along the way, we started to feel a bit more grounded in this new rhythm, learning each other and learning life as a family of three. Learning so many lessons day by day! And gosh, having Ida, our little angel, is the most precious gift ever.🤍

Gdy podczas ciąży planowaliśmy używanie pieluch wielorazowych, słyszałam od kilku osób że po co, że to tyle brudnej roboty, że szkoda czasu. Jednak osobiście ani chwili się nie wahałam i dziś po 3 tygodniach pieluchowania naturalnymi materiałami jak bawełna, wełna, bambus - bardzo się cieszę z naszego wyboru!

Wiedziałam, że chce żeby nasze maleństwo miało przy skórze tylko naturalne materiały; dla jej zdrowia jak i dla zdrowia natury.🌱

A najbardziej niedoceniany element wyprawki?

Wełniane otulacze!

Otulacz to wodoodporna warstwa, którą zakłada się na warstwę chłonną, jak tetra czy bawełniana formowanka. Otulacze są robione z materiału PUL (syntetyczny, koniec końców plastik), albo z wełny (całkowicie naturalny). W tych czasach mamy o niebo łatwiejsze opcje. Moja mama używała na mnie tetry, na którą wiązało się kawałek plastiku, coś jakby kawałek reklamówki, żeby nie przeciekało😅

Teraz rozumiem, jak w sprawie tych wełnianych otulaczy “mniej znaczy więcej”. Mamy tylko 3 wełniane otulacze w rozmiarze newborn i to nam wystarcza!

Ciekawostki o wełnie:
•Wełna posiada niesamowite właściwości “samooczyszczenia” - nie trzeba jej prać po każdym użyciu, zazwyczaj wystarczy wywietrzyć, lub lekko spłukać.
•Jest przewiewna i regulująca temperaturę, dlatego pupa maluszka oddycha. Sprawdza się nam znakomicie nawet na upalnym Bali!
•Dzięki lanolinowaniu nie przecieka.
•Wełna merino, z której są zrobione nasze otulacze, jest bardzo delikatna i przyjemna w dotyku. Jest 100% naturalna. I wygląda pięknie!💚 💚

The Birth Story of Our Daughter, Ida 🤍 Part 2/2

In the final stage of birth, when Ida’s bum was coming out (and it felt like forever), I felt I had almost no strength left. Ibu Robin told me “reach your hand to your va**na, feel your baby” - I did, and feeling her tiny bum gave me more strength. Rohil held my hand and was literally pushing with me, all the women were there as my guides, and with that one last push, as everyone chanted the Gayatri Mantra, our daughter was born into the world.
 I will forever hold this mantra close to my heart.

They asked me to lay down and placed her on my belly immediately. She squeezed my finger with her tiny hand. My heart opened in a way I didn’t know was possible.

Ida’s placenta stayed attached for around four hours, nourishing her gently. For the next couple of days at Bumi Sehat, the midwives cared for us with so much love. Loving care, breastfeeding support, homemade food and much love from beautiful doula … it felt like being held by a circle of wise mothers.

I have no idea how some women manage to do this on their own, without a partner. What a strength! I’m so blessed to have my loving husband .yoga who simply gave all of himself to hold us during birth, and after. Thank you for your love, care and patience, for managing everything so well, for always being here for us. I love you with all my heart!❤️

In Balinese culture the placenta is considered sacred, it’s like a guardian angel of the baby. prepared for us placenta capsules and a tincture, to nourish our family. She also created a dreamcatcher for Ida with her umbilical cord as a precious memory.

Birth is intense, raw, scary, beautiful, painful, empowering, and heart-opening all at once.
 I wish every woman could give birth in a space where she feels safe, loved, respected, and full of trust; in her body, in her baby, and in the ancient wisdom she already carries within herself.

Welcome to the world, our sweet Ida🤍 We love you so much!

The Birth Story of Our Daughter, Ida 🤍
Part 1/2

Our sweet daughter Ida was born on the 8th of November 2025, exactly on her due date. And here is our birth story, one of the most beautiful, most empowering, and also most challenging experiences of my life.

At 34 weeks we learned that Ida was in a breech position. At first, we were very worried, because in most places this means a planned C-section, something I wanted to avoid. I deeply believe in natural, unmedicated birth and that’s what I wanted for us. We tried everything to turn her; special exercises, osteopathy, acupuncture…but she decided not to. She was already teaching me one of my biggest life lessons which I keep learning: to trust and to surrender to what I cannot control.

We were so blessed to be at , a natural birth center where our birth was supported with so much wisdom, respect, and love. Thanks to this, we could welcome Ida naturally, even in her breech position.

Our birth lasted almost 14 hours, with around 4 hours of pushing. It was incredibly intense, the deepest place I have ever gone within myself, and it showed me how much power we women really hold. To bring a human into this world through our own body… it is real miracle!

I felt so supported by my beloved husband, who was with me every second with his strength, stability, and love. And by the incredible midwives and doulas who made me feel so safe and full of trust; women filled with decades of wisdom, kindness, and devotion. Amazing doula Georgia kept pouring warm water over my body for several hours to help me relax into contractions. They all were gently making my fear, shame, holding back - to dissolve into trust. I cannot express how much all this love and support means! (…)

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the 9th month; here’s how I modify the Primary Series according to my needs.❤️

I don’t go through the full series every day, often it’s shorter and softer.
 But showing up each morning, even gently, is my anchor of grounding and stability which I’m deeply grateful for.

We’ve been slowly preparing our home here in Bali for our baby’s arrival.🤍
 The past weeks have been full of simple, heart warming moments; washing tiny clothes, setting up the baby bed together, and receiving endless support from our family and friends.
 Each small step makes it all feel closer and more real!

We decided to get reusable cloth diapers, made from materials such as cotton, bamboo, and wool; because we wanted something natural, gentle for the baby’s skin, and kind to the planet.
Avoiding plastic and single-use products simply feels right for us, and it’s a small way to live in alignment with our values.🌏

One of my favorites are the beautiful wool covers from made in Poland with care and love!

Preparing the home like this has been such a joyful process; folding, arranging, and realizing that soon, this space will hold a tiny new life.🤍

When we started looking for a place to give birth, we wanted a space where we’d feel supported, safe, and respected.

A place that honors the body’s natural wisdom, doesn’t rush the process, and approaches birth with genuine care and understanding.

We found that in Bumi Sehat in Ubud, a natural birth center we fell in love with long before this pregnancy, known for its heart-centered and gentle approach.

This beautiful center holds deep meaning for us: its commitment to gentle birth, women’s empowerment, holistic care, and honoring the natural journey of birthing.

At , birth is seen as a sacred and transformative experience; a natural process deserving patience, love, and respect. Here, mothers are supported emotionally and physically, in an environment that values trust and dignity.

We are deeply grateful for this space and for the loving midwives who carry huge wisdom, care, and presence!🤍

35 weeks: just checking if this handstand jump is still there😅

Throughout pregnancy, my Ashtanga practice has been slow and gentle.
I’ve been modifying a lot, exploring new ways that feel good for my body in this completely new state.

Moving slowly and softly.

Asking for support.

Slowing down.

Observing: What do I need today? How do I feel?

Pregnancy teaches me to create space for observation, free from expectations and self-pressure.

Some days I feel tired and need more rest, slower movement, longer holds in gentle poses, deeper breath.
Other days I feel strong and energized, and a bit more movement feels wonderful.

It’s so beautiful to honor how I feel, moment to moment, to give myself what I truly need, instead of what I expect myself to be.

Still, each day begins with practice. It may look different from day to day, but I can’t imagine being without it, it feels so deeply healing, especially during pregnancy ❤️

34 weeks. What an amazing journey!❤️

15/08/2025

When we got married we didn’t want to have children.
We used to have various thoughts related to this topic, such as:
What’s the point, there are already so many humans in this world.
Or; why to have our own kid, when we could adopt & help someone to create better life.
Or; we want to keep our freedom and lifestyle, living the way WE want. We want to focus on our career, on building something we dream of.

However, with time all of this changed. Around half a year after getting married we started slowly discussing the idea of having children. And over time we both felt that we deeply and truly want to have a baby, a baby who is born out of our love and our connection. Because we know that what we have is truly priceless.

I remember already as a little girl, I decided that I will never build a family with someone I’m not having a truly loving relationship with. During my childhood, I used to see my parents fighting everyday.
Everyday we were facing screams, arguments, tears.
Everyday was filled with uncertainty of when another emotional bomb would explode, shattering any peace.
This was my foundation.

As I grew up and started having my own relationships, each of them became a lesson.
First, I was learning what love is definitely not.
Later, exploring what love could be.
Being with Rohil finally showed me what love truly is. The relationship we’ve built - on strong foundation of our own healing, life values, open communication, mutual respect, support, fun, lightness, freedom - has shown me its immense value. The immense value of us together. From here, building our family became a natural call of the heart.

We are so waiting for you, our little one.❤️
