​Birth was normal in India. 

 

Aaji shared beautiful stories of women being supported and celebrated at each stage. How girls were welcomed to watch, learn and the knowledge was passed down. How women observed, encouraged, held space and had patience to see how things unfold. She explained how a pregnant woman was encouraged to do particular house chores to help the body and pelvis prepare for birth. She explained how The Village Dai (Midwife) provided reassurance and presence. She explained that post birth a new mother is massaged, care for and fed for at least 6 weeks to allow her body to rest from pregnancy and childbirth. She explained how babies were always held by mothers with zero pressure to separate them. 

​

Aaji told me every pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey were celebrated!

​

I wanted what she was sharing but I couldn't understand how this was even remotely possible until I chose to make a change for myself.

​

I chose to research.

I chose to unlearn and relearn.

I chose a birth team that felt right for me.

I chose to understand my body and the maternity system.

I chose to reclaim my roots and take back the control.

I chose me.

​

And now I get share my wisdom whilst doing a job that I love by working with women like you who know exactly what they want!

I get to watch you honour yourself, your roots and your voice!

I get to witness you embrace your power.

​

​And the ripple effect is incredible.

Stronger Women

Stronger Mothers

Stronger Communities!
