OUR BLOG.

I met my partner (now husband), Sebastian, a little over a year ago in the middle of the Australian outback at a hellish watermelon farm. Sebastian moved into the donga next to me. I had been offering massage to my fellow co-workers, Sebastian inquired, and after a mind blowing conversation after his massage we became inseparable.

We had both worked for this farm for over a year, and it became increasingly dire that we leave and become serious about our true desires to heal the earth and not h...

I had always wanted a homebirth but the cost of midwives is high here in Australia. 

When Covid hit and hospital restrictions on support were limited to one person only, my opportunity presented itself.  I decided I was going to birth at home.  

Prelabour started at 40 weeks and 2 days on a Sunday morning.  This carried on for an entire week, which taught me that babe was going to come when truly ready.  That next Sunday, I realized that my contractions weren’t wearing off and that I was need...

I myself was born in a rather sterile and unnatural fashion--a planned cesarean on a preselected date, ready or not!  One thing is for sure, we all have unique birth stories, and I am excited to share Sage’s.  

Sage took his time to get here, we waited 41 weeks!  There were many moments when I felt I just couldn’t wait any longer, but one thing is for sure: he taught me to be the most patient mama. 

In the beginning, it was a dull ache which started to come and go at regular intervals.  So we ...

My decision to free birth came after accidentally free birthing my first two children, before I knew that it was legal or that people did it intentionally.

When I found out I was pregnant this time, I knew I wanted to birth at home. With my previous birth, the hospital stay afterwards was terrible, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like this time during COVID.

I knew I wanted to have a home birth, but I did NOT want assistance. Originally, I wanted a midwife to come by after the birth to...

Around 20 weeks pregnant, I made the choice to fire the midwife who had attended my son’s birth.  It was during the pandemic, and I refused to have anyone in a mask attending my birth.  I knew that I didn’t need to be managed, and I didn’t need anyone there.  During the time leading up to my birth, I learned to turn inward and protect my energy and space.  

At just short of 40 weeks, one morning, I woke up and realized that labor might be starting.  I went through my day as usual, keeping in mi...

The day that my son was born, my daughter approached me and told me that today was the day that our baby would be born.  Sure enough, that night, I was awakened by surges that started around one in the morning.  I meditated through them until the early morning when I woke up my husband and asked him to start getting things set up.  

By the time the tub was full, my surges had become very intense, yet they were very short, maybe about 15 seconds long.  I relied on self pleasure to allow myself t...
