the mental games we play as we transition from maiden-to-mother, before we allow the softening.

the feminine exists in her pontentizing stillness — a deepened pause, one many have been unfamiliar with. we find ourselves in pregnancy and mothering spiraling in this stillness towards the next thing to do, evaluating every milestone in our birth and children, the planning of an event, scrolling on instagram trying to gather all the information about…

this dominant masculine energy must be unlearned for most of us as we let go of that version of ourselves as “the worker, the do-er, the strength” some of us were taught we had to become to walk through this life.

this requires a deepened surrender into our mother-line as the tone setter and away from our entrepreneurial versions, a falling into the unknown, as we witness our bodies stretch open , and we carry our children through their unfurling.

for some reason i thought this stretch would end in birth, with my child in my arms.

to be our children’s everything as mothers, we supply-on-demand their nourishment, sleep beside one another to wake when they wake, regulate ourselves within one nervous system as the family nervous system, and continue carrying them to new places of expansion. and yes we spiral together, we express together which is why the aid to a mother heals millions.

now this is the surrender. we don’t get our pre-pregnancy bodies back or our life back, we fold into and rise as one family towards a bigger awakening , and a bigger damn stretch.

that’s the power of the feminine, the mother-line, as the great pontentizing of the present for her family and village.

in her stillness the river flows within her and all around her and us as women are grateful for other woman to sit beside her.

here’s to a village on regulated mothers and children.

i recently was on a walk and met a new dad. we shared stories of our little ones, and found out that both of our babies were 10 pounds at birth, and his first response was “you must of had a c-section too?”

i was shocked that this is the new-normal in conversation with strangers about birth.

another from of our indoctrinated culture.

birthing my 10 pound baby at home, would have been classified as a sugar baby.

as the narrowing of normal in modern OB-care persists, we miss a potential opportunity to appreciate the variant shifts in the natural world.

with medical induction being a primary intervention practice in modern OB care, and rates on the rise all over the world, i would have been classified as a pre-diabetic, “high risk” pregnancy.

this signature would have changed my birthing outcomes tremendously, and laid the groundwork for medical intervention, induction and the potential for complications in my birth.

normal variant shifts in pregnancy are important to respect, as our overall state shifts.

the physiological diabetic-normal variant shift ;

beginning in pregnancy mothers naturally experience insulin sensitivity creating a hypoglycemic state of the blood — cellular uptake of sugar to synthesize new tissue.

later stages of pregnancy this reverses, and maternal insulin resistance occurs, creating a hyperglycemia state in the blood — to actually provide the fetus more sugar for growth!

“gestational diabetes” is defined as the inability to respond to this natural shift in sugar regulation in later phases of pregnancy. in a hyperglycemic state, we should also see a match for a hyperinsulinemic state.

in other words, a natural diabetic-state in later pregnancy will induce your baby to grow!

rather than villainize this uptick of sugar in the blood with your “routine testing” let’s celebrate the birth of a grown baby who’s taken their form!

Feeding you feeds the world.

the immense love + determination i have to be able to feed my own child, i know is shared among many mothers across the world, in all tribes.

feeding anywhere at anytime is the most freeing we can be together; mother & child. this innate female/mammal design weaves us mothers together one feeding baby at a time.

who’s feeding who?

this signature level is beyond words and something i encourage all mamas to experience. breast-milk being the golden milk that feeds the whole world.

come experience how to orient to freedom in your breastfeeding journey through movement, breath, and ease in your body + heart through chiropractic care.

maiden-to-mother is initiation. it’s an opportunity to step into our creative midline.

freeing the mother will free the world.

welcome to your soverign birth

birth encompasses many realms; physical, emotional, psychological, mental, political, sacred, and even medical. within a holsitic model — lets consider this reality transformational.

birth is largely a non-linear experience and ebbs and flows with sensory experiences in-becoming to motherhood. holding a holsitic and practical response, with both intelligence and intuition to pregnancy and birthing respects the approach to mystical-intelligence.

the growing concern that our current birthing practices are leading us toward a monoculture of birth; in the medical/clinical model. the suggestion of all midwives be clinically trained, highlights the concern that women and families will no longer have access to a holistic/practical approach that’s well suited for most women and designed to keep women within the realms of “normalcy” through the natural shifts of pregnancy.

the medical/clinical model is focused on high-risk concerns and we suggest that training all midwives in this model will create singular monoculture of birth with the potential for all midwives to inadvertently become high-risk practitioners.

lets look further into birth and support family-directed models to care by which they decide how they wish their experience to unfold. this is contrary to family-centered models of birth, which the caregiver continues to make decisions that may be centered around the family.

understanding the deeper brain wave states of consciousness in pregnancy, allows the conscious mind to step back and for innate to take over.

let’s (re)focus from the cortex/the eyes — rather to a softer focus field amongst the process.

today, i am welcomed into the matrona holsitic midwifery cohort and this year i will be bringing these principles into practice; moving from maiden to mother as i birth my first and continue to serve my village to wholeness.

// you’re pelvis is not to small to birth your baby.

innate design of conception, a women’s body, and the hormonal cascade will not fail you, as it is in existence.

your body is not a badly designed machine. you are not a machine at all, and the creator is not careless.

the problem is that doctors today often assume that something mysterious or unidentified has gone wrong with labor or that the women’s body is somehow inadequate — for a variety of reasons, a lot of women have also come to believe that nature made a serious mistake with their bodies. they may be told they have the wrong shape of pelvis, as if all four shapes that were classified in a study published in 1993 hadn’t already proven themselves as reproductively worthy by the very fact of their existence.

if it is not a habit of yours so far, it is recommended to think positively of your body + your process. you were designed for this.

trauma effects are much deeper than just an event. It’s like an inescapable shock for your physiology.

any “trauma”, big one or small one will inflict a fight/flight response (stress response) in our central nervous system. This chronic stress response continues until cleared and has a thwarted, an extreme agitation or collapse response over your physiology + your life.

ideally our stress hormones should provide lightening-fast response to threat, then quickly return to equilibrium. In trauma, the stress hormone system fails at this balancing act. fight/flight/freeze signals continue after the danger is over and do not return to normal. Continued secretion of stress hormone is expressed as agitation, panic, reactiveness, poor decision making, loss of breath + control and over long term, wreaks havoc on health + vitality.

strong emotions can even block this knowingness + pain resulted from chronic stress response. It’s wild how safe our central nervous system works to keep us. Which is why we stay in an addictive pattern. Pain of pleasure and pleasure of pain.

it’s vital to become aware of those areas in our life where we’re perhaps functioning from that initial, lightening-fast response to a perceived threat although it may not be a threat at all. Become aware of our patterning.

a great way to achieve more health, is to get in touch with your body, find the root cause to healing trauma and break those stress responses wired in your brain-body through chiropractic.
