8 years ago tonight I had my successful homebirth VBAC with Juniper. 💖✨
Going through the birth portal unmedicated was truly a trip! It was beautiful, intense, challenging, and deeply transformative. It showed me how incredibly wise our bodies are and how much they already carry within them.
Of course, there are times medical support is needed, and I’m grateful for that. But after having an unplanned medicated birth ending in a Cesarean with my first baby, I realized how disconnected I had been from trusting my own body.
If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve trusted myself more deeply from the beginning.
What I’ve also learned is that birth is not just physical. So much of our fear, tension, conditioning, and trauma lives in the body and that impacts how we move through birth.
Since then, I’ve done deep somatic healing and deconditioning work, and it’s now the work I support other mamas through inside Reclaim Birth: A 12-week Somatic & Creative Journey Into A Powerful, Supported Birth.
Together we work through the fears, anxiety, conditioning, and disconnection that keep us stuck in our heads and help bring us back into trust with our bodies and the birth portal.
Pregnant mamas, if you feel called to explore this work, comment “RECLAIM” for all the details. 🫶
