As a birth worker I KNEW that teaching choices was important, providing a range of tools that could help in the build up and during labour was important, and offering women access to their rights was important. 

I also knew that without the foundations of intuition and personal power, their birth outcomes would depend on how ‘normal’ their pregnancy was, how much support they had around them, and who showed up at their birth - it was a lottery. 

Most women were not showing up to my birth prep to learn about their intuition, but as we discussed its importance, people became more wanting to know how to access it.

I often got asked about the grey area between being offered an intervention and knowing whether that was ‘necessary’ for them or not. I couldn’t give an answer because truly, that answer can ONLY come from within. 

Then I would see intervention offered and the power of FEAR show up and take over.

By the time the fear was there, at 37+ weeks present, there wasn’t a whole lot I could do, for the answers were not in me, they were in them, and they were not confident enough to access them and trust them.

I heard people speak about intuition and I knew it within myself but I never felt clear on how to explain it to someone else. Plus, my own intuition would come and go. It would definitely be there when I needed it to be but at other times it felt elusive or hard to find. 

After 8-years on my own healing journey, and subsequently training as a somatic therapist, the dots joined. 

Intuition is not elusive but there are not many who can explain it with clarity, let alone teach it to others. I can. I have a model for theoretical understanding, and way more importantly, I know how to guide others into their felt experience and begin to decipher the felt experience of truth from fear. 

That is exactly why we have landed here ↓
