My Uterus is not a place to hold onto fear and pain. My uterus is for creation and to bring light to life.
The womb, uterus, yoni in Sanskrit is sacred. It allows a soul to return to form. Practice sacred care for this space. Love your space, honor and commune with your monthly cycle, understand the rhythm of your monthly flow, create a daily care practice with your jade egg, wash with only the best oils, ghee or manuka honey (not soap as this is actually drying and can imbalance the delicate tissue), love every aspect of your femininity. Create sacred space for your sacred womb.

Did you know traditional Chinese Medicine can help turn a Breech baby? Today when a baby is Breech mom’s are told they will have to have a c-section. If they are in labor already they are generally rushed into an emergency c-section, but this doesn’t have to be the case. There are many things that can be done during the last few weeks of pregnancy to help baby turn and such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and different positions for mama to rest in that will help baby shift into its proper position. A great resource is https://spinningbabies.com understanding where your baby is is key and you can start seeing your acupuncturist as early as 34weeks for treatment to get baby moving downward!

“The Rhombus of Michaelis rises as labor progressing towards the pushing phase. It is the result of the baby’s head entering the pelvis and pushing against sacrum. A pregnant woman’s pelvic bones are pliable and allows for expansion. This is one visual cue, among many others that can help a midwife know about baby’s descend without having to perform a vaginal exam.” Shared from the Human Birth Project

When women come together they create and increase Oxytocin, what we all know as the “bonding” hormone. This hormone also helps mamas progress in labor allowing her body to open with more ease to bring baby into the world. Only one of many reasons why doulas and the support of other women through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum is so important. Statistics show that those women with a doula and support from other women have higher rates of natural delivery and lower rates of intervention.
Sisters let’s dance this sacred dance together.
