✨ The Enchantment Phase of Birth ✨
There is a moment after birth that feels… otherworldly. A moment where time softens.
Where the noise of the world fades.
Where you meet your baby not just with your eyes and with your whole body, your breath, your heart, your nervous system.
This is the Enchantment Phase.
The moment you lock eyes with the little human you just brought into the world.
The moment that can feel like the most enchanting moment of your life…or the best first date you’ve ever had where nothing else exists, and you simply fall in love.
Your body is designed for this.
In the first 20 minutes after birth, your system releases a huge surge of oxytocin,
the hormone of love, bonding, safety, and connection.
This is nature’s way of helping you imprint this moment deep into your cells.
And you can support this sacred window by protecting the environment around you:
• Skin-to-skin, chest to chest
• Breathing in the scent of your baby
• Soft lighting, low voices, minimal interruptions
• Allowing cord clamping, weighing, and measuring to wait
• Keeping the space calm, warm, and intimate while your placenta is birthed
Because this phase doesn’t just “feel beautiful” it cements the bond between mother and baby.
It tells your nervous system and your baby: You are safe. You are connected. You are home.
And if, for any reason, you and your baby are separated…this moment can be recreated.
As soon as you are reunited, you can return to skin-to-skin, breath, scent, presence and allow your body to complete what it was always designed to do.
Birth doesn’t end when your baby arrives.
The imprint of how you meet each other matters. And you deserve to be supported to step into this moment with awareness, safety, and reverence.
🤍 If you want to learn how to protect these powerful early moments and prepare your mind, body, and nervous system for birth and beyond I’d love to support you.
