First-time mamas, listen closely ❤️💫

You can birth at home.
You can birth in a pool.
You can birth exactly as you wish.

This young mother shows us:
The safety of birth at home,
The comfort and love
Her hormones beautifully intact 🫧

Social media will have you believe it’s hospitals and c-sections or birth completely alone
✨👁 Learn to discern 👁✨
It’s okay to desire support 💯
Support doesn’t take away your sovereignty.
It doesn’t turn your birth into an “intervention.”
It can mean being held, witnessed, supported, aligned
Exactly as you feel you need and desire 🕊️

Watch as this mama leans on her team 🤲🏼
Watch her trust them.
This is true sisterhood.
This is birth held in reverence ✨

Notice her astonishment.
The bigness of birth.
Life-shifting. Utterly flooring.
Beautiful. Powerful. Sacred. 💫

First-time mama, this is for you:
Don’t be afraid to feel it all.
Feel the joy.
Feel the excitement.
Feel the anticipation.
Feel the full weight of responsibility, without fear.
Feel the beauty of new life calling you,
growing in you,
coming through you,
redefining you,
expanding you into your truest self yet 🦋

Get knowledgeable. Seek aligned care.
Know this incredible start to motherhood is entirely possible this year ❤️

This is your year to birth your way.
This is your moment to step into power.
This is your joy, waiting for you. 🫧

A joyful prayer for birth in 2026 ✨

More joy in birth 🌼
More intention
More clarity 🌬
More babies born in peace
More patience, more natural timing
More witnessing and gentle holding 🕊️
More hands-off 🤲🏼
More aligned support
More honouring the mother
More reverence and respect for the sacred
Mothers stepping into self-responsibility 🔥
Mothers feeling supported to do so 💫
Mothers remembering their physiology
Claiming their birth right ✨
Owning their power, their authority
Embracing birth with hearts wide open
More celebration: of birth, of women, of motherhood ❤️

Gratitude to mother, Mikiahwho, for showing us what this can look like:

“I made it a point to appreciate every stage of labor… With every surge, I thanked my body for bringing my baby closer. In between, I thanked my body for a break.”

A bath at home. Candles. Presence. Respect.
Intentional choices. Quiet support. Radical trust.

“It’s made to stretch.” 🌸

She trusted her body to lead.
She birthed her son fully seen, fully honoured, fully celebrated 🌌

This is joyful. Blissful. Intentional birth.
This is 2026 energy 💫

Here’s to more of this ❤️

“I wanted that moment to last forever. Life takes care of life.” 🦋

✨ “Life takes care of life.” ✨

As another calendar year comes to its final hours,
I can’t help but wonder...
Will 2026 be the year we see mothers begin to embody THIS level of trust in birth? In life?
Will we witness and join other mothers as we lead the way in this revolutionary remembrance?

Hold the vision with me, of a world where all mothers experience birth like this:

“All of sudden I felt his head in my fingers, feeling the head in full rotation.
He rotated as he was sliding down the canal.
The information about life serving my purpose dripped down my birth canal.

I shoot from laying down to squatting and my whole body goes into a trance, the crowning felt so good I never wanted it to stop.
12 tons of heavy stones are being released from my body.
There was no trace of pushing.
My body opened itself.
I can have it all.
I didn’t push, but my body opened.

I wanted that moment to last forever.
Life takes care of life.”

Imagine a world where mothers believe “I can have it all” in birth,
where that same belief permeates their motherhood 🙏🏼
Imagine a world where birth is only sweet release, hypnotic, euphoric 🫧
Imagine with me a world where we truly believe,
and all our actions inform, the notion that:
Life takes care of Life ❤️

Blessings of peace and hope and renewal to you all as we begin a new calendar year 💫

Festive calendars don’t get to dictate physiology 🎄✋🏼

Because birth will not (and should not) be rushed.
Not for calendars.
Not for rotas.
Not for convenience.

What we’re witnessing here is the opposite of urgency.
A body paused.
A baby taking their time.
A room that understands the difference between waiting and danger 🫧

In a maternity culture shaped by fear-based headlines,
staffing pressures,
and a system stretched beyond capacity,
we’ve been sold the illusion that speed equals safety 🙃

That surgery is protection.
That intervention is reassurance.
That disruption is preventative.

But physiology tells a different story 🌀

Birth unfolds through a precise, intelligent sequence of hormones
🫧 Oxytocin, endorphins, adrenaline 🫧
Each arriving exactly when the body and baby need them ✨

Disturb that rhythm, and risk increases.
Protect it, and birth often softens 🌸

This pause matters.
It is not indecision. It is coordination.
A moment where the body gathers itself before completion 🤲🏼

Especially during the festive season,
when women are subtly, or overtly, encouraged to hurry things along 🎅🏼🙄
this is your reminder:

Waiting is not negligence ✋🏼
Patience is not risk ✋🏼
And trusting your body is not naïve ✋🏼

If you’re holding space for your baby right now,
let this be permission:
🎄to revel in slowing down
🎄 to enjoy the magic of tuning in
🎄and to honour the mystery of your baby’s timing this season

Because birth doesn’t respond to pressure;
it responds to safety, privacy, and trust 🕊️

And when those are protected…
this is what becomes possible 🤍

Honouring Mōdraniht / Morher’s Night ✨

The Winter Solstice is drawing in as we prepare for the longest night of the year, as we reflect on all that has been and gratefully acknowledge and the smallest spark of light as it returns.

But there’s an ancient ritual and celebration that’s been unsurprisingly all but lost in our culture, which is traditionally celebrated today

Mother’s Night. A time to honour your female ancestors, to light candies or make a shrine to remember our motherline.
To connect with all the women in our bloodlines, acknowledging their lives, their courage and strength. Recognising their times of hardship and of harvest.

To connect with Mother’s night you could try:

🕯️Lighting a candle and keeping it simple

Go through old pictures of the women in your family. Maybe put a few by your candle. ✨

🌳 Bringing in some leaves, pinecones and stones, berries and old man’s beard and make a mothers mandala

🍷 Make a toast to all the women in your family, speaking their names aloud

🧶 Gather with your sisters and celebrate your motherhood, or your motherline, introducing yourselves in circle by your motherline names as far back as you know, ( I’ am great granddaughter of …, granddaughter of…, daughter of…’)

🪑 Set a place at your table tonight, for all the mothers who have come before you in your maternal line.

However you choose to meet these ancient celebrations, so deeply rooted in our land, I’m wishing you all a magical Mothers night ✨✨✨

We were never meant to fear the blood of birth 🩸

This is not mess.
It’s evidence of a body opening exactly as it’s meant to 🌹

Warm. Familiar. Expected.
The colour of work done, of thresholds crossed, of life arriving ✨

Can we shift our mindset, shift the narrative in our generation?

From the push for sterility to a recognition of the sacred 🤲🏼
From danger to transition 🦋
From something to erase, to something we fully understand ❤️

A woman opens.
A body releases.
A baby arrives from blood, through blood, into breath.
Birth does not happen without blood 🩸

We’ve been taught to fear this moment.
To clean it quickly.
To look away.

But blood here is not about loss
it’s about origin, completion, return 🙏🏼

Can we meet this moment differently?
Can we accept the blood of birth?
More than that, can we revere it?

This is birth as it has always been:
earthy, alive, unapologetically human ❤️
