Birth is life ❍ Birth is healing Birth is ceremony The birth of a child is not only the birth of a mother, but the birth of a family. Likewise, an empowering, ecstatic, and joyful birth experience is not only a gift for the mother, infant, and father (or birthing parent and their beloved) - it is a gift for the whole world. When we birth in passion and beauty it can be potent vehicle for personal transformation, allowing us to step into motherhood deeply in awe of our own power. Birth can also heal our lineages, as pregnancy and birth create epigenetic changes which have the potential to positively impact the mental, emotional, and physical health of our descendants for generations into the future. Add to this the fact that the microbiome we pass down to our daughters becomes the microbiome they will pass down to their daughters (and so on), and it becomes quite clear that the way we birth has far-reaching implications. (A healthy diverse and flourishing microbiome, seeded by vaginal birth and fed by breastfeeding, is increasingly being understood to be one of the primary factors in preserving good health and preventing disease throughout our lifetimes). Through birth, we have the opportunity to heal not only our ourselves and our babies but also our families, our communities, and even the future generations. Yes - birth is that powerful. And so are you. Reclaim the sovereignty of your birth. Dare to birth in passion, power, and joy. Your great, great grandchildren are waiting for you.
