Conscious Motherhood

Conscious Motherhood is unfortunately something I haven’t heard anything about in the birthing or community, at large. Most people I meet and speak with about the topic of pregnancy and birth do not mention much of anything other than we either got pregnant , had a gender reveal and a baby shower, and had a baby, most likely in a hospital, with some type of intervention and or early induction and it was either a horrible experience or “not too bad for birth “ OR are struggling to get pregnant and stay pregnant and don’t understand why they cannot. They have “tried everything” that they have been told to do or has been made available to them through their own research and “nothing is working.” They feel totally defeated and don’t know what the next step is.

When I hear these stories I feel heartbroken for what they have been through , angry for them because I know there is so much more that can support all of these couple’s and babies in having an entirely different experience and hopeful knowing that it is possible to experience more Conscious, LOVING, EMPOWERING and JOYFUL experiences around conception and birth!

The good news is that there is so much more going on with conception and birth than what is available in the mainstream birthing consciousness! If you are curious about learning more and diving deeper into the potential power , healing, joy and miracles that are available during these rites of passage then read on.

My mission and intention is to bring more awareness into the context of conception and birth and how it involves and includes so much more than what we focus on in our modern day birthing arena. If you resonate with this message, I invite you to read more. When I contemplate the topic of conscious motherhood and what that means to me, I consider the question, “ at what point on the timeline of becoming a mother does consciousness enter into motherhood?” This is a question that I have been contemplating for sometime; meaning years. What evoked this question were my 3 birth experiences and my work with women during different stages of their pregnancies and during their preconception time. I have been teaching the Hypnobirthing approach to childbirth since 2009. What I have consistently encountered is the impact and influence that the maternal lineage, unprocessed trauma and the collective approach to birth has on a woman’s birth experience; IF it does or does not become CONSCIOUS and ADDRESSED. Most women do not even begin their classes with me until their second and or third trimester, which leaves very little time for the BIG work that Hynobirthing and the Maternal Lineage work I do with women. This ancestral work serves to address and clear longstanding fears women are holding in their subconscious minds about birth, loss of control, pain, death and motherhood. We underestimate what we carry in the subconscious mind and the impact this has on our birth and babies. This WORK takes TIME and INTENTION and is the REAL work of CONSCIOUS MOTHERHOOD. Sometimes it takes a few pregnancies and births to decide you want to have a different experience and know it can be different, but you aren’t sure where to begin. Ideally the WORK begins prior to conception. I encourage women and couple’s to CONSCIOUSLY CONCEIVE. This takes time and it involves the couple committing to their own personal work and conceiving from a place of lovingly calling in the soul. The foundations need to be in place prior to bringing in this precious soul. I ask the couple’s I work with, “if you were looking for the ideal home, what would you want it to look and feel like? Would you want it to be clean, beautiful, loving, warm and welcoming? That’s what your baby wants!” If you are on a conception or pregnancy journey and would like to explore more deeply how you can bring more conscious awareness into wherever you are on your journey into motherhood you can either check out my offerings or reach out to me to customize a conscious conception,pregnancy, birth or postpartum plan. I am looking forward to meeting you and the precious soul who is ready to find a safe and loving home in and with you.
