The words we use can have a myriad of meanings. I just returned from an incredible workshop, where we explored the many words we use to describe vagina’s and yoni’s.
Some build respect and a sense of awe whilst others like ‘downstairs’ can manifest confusion. This three-day workshop called ‘creative ways of making space for the baby’ was well described. It was as it sounds. Jenny Blyth and Fiona Hallinan helped us understand the mechanics of birth. It was enlightening to see and feel how our bones, muscles and ligaments can soften and open to allow a baby to be birthed. (Click the above image to see their website).
I have been exploring topics about pregnancy and birth for around five years now. My awareness has deepened and my respect grown. I am honoured to be able to help people prepare for this profound rite of passage. The workshops I run are based on “Birthing From Within” and aim to help people re-learn to trust their intuition. The processes help women to discover and validate what they already know and help them prepare to birth from within.

Unfortunately, much of the media portrayal dramatises birth, and TV shows like ‘one born every minute’ can be damaging to the young. These shows tend to normalise the medicalisation of this event and make people doubt their abilities to give birth without drugs and intervention. Instead of seeing birth as SACRED, they grow up being SCARED.
Many classes and books teach about birth ‘from the outside’ (like how to birth in a hospital and how birth is managed). The ‘Birthing From Within’ prenatal workshops help women to understand what labour will be like from their perspective. There is more focus on emotional and spiritual preparation and how to birth as a woman and mother (rather than as a trained professional).
This combined with the wisdom and exercises to open physically can provide a potent recipe for helping women to gain confidence in their bodies. There are ways to help the body to soften and make room for babies to enter the world and I am delighted to share these dynamic processes with the women of the Northern Rivers.
We are continuing to build friendships and a sense of community at Birth and Beyond. Come along and say hello!
