There is nothing more powerful or more important to changing the tide of this Earth, than for women to wake up to what they are losing when their Birth Passage is taken from them, and take back their right to give Birth on their own terms.

BIRTH IS NO LONGER THE SACRED JOURNEY IT ONCE WAS. C-sections are as high as 75% in some countries, and in North America, Cesearean Sections have increased by over 400% in just 15 years. CLEARLY this procedure is NO LONGER being used SOLELY as a last resort-to save the lives of Mothers and Babies! Consider this: The risk of dying from a C-section is 2 to 3 TIMES that of dying from a Vaginal Birth! With so many lies, deliberate omissions, and misconceptions prevelant in mainstream society, it isn't suprising that many women feel that opting for a planned C-section is the better and safer of their options! Women are being led to the operating table, fully believing they are doing the best thing for their babies or themselves- when in only 3-10% of the cases, is this the truth. (that means that 90-97% of the time, it's a LIE.)

Far too many women have become voiceless patients told what to do and when, what stick to pee on, what to eat, and on what day they will have their babies removed from their abdomen. As post partum depression rates go up, the question begs to be asked: "Are women missing something when they have unnecessary or unethical C-sections?" The answer won't be found in a medical book-in fact, most OB's will even DENY the obvious connection between a Birth Passage that did not go as the Mother had hoped, and their subsequent depression!

AND WHAT ABOUT THE BABIES!!? Babies who are taken by C-section, without the benefit of any labor are more prone to lung and breathing problems, higher rates of asthma and tooth problems, not to mention the damage to their initial "imprint"-those first few moments on Earth that tells them that they are safe-loved, and welcome. NO MOTHER would wish their baby to experience any kind of unnecessary trauma- but for some reason, we have been conditioned to believe that they don't experience trauma until after Birth-how could we believe that they aren't "awake" yet!? Their Birth Passage has a profound effect on their foundation- what they believe about themselves and their place in the world. In addition to all of the recognizable trauma from C-sections, Mother's who have medical Births may have a difficult time breastfeeding, which can then rob the infant of the best nutritional/bonding opportunities, and the mother of incredibly important hormonal releases and bonding time!

Women-WE MUST RISE UP! We desperately need to re-connect to what makes us incredible life-bringers and to value the language of women-our language is ethereal, symbolic and magical. This is what you are made of. This is your TRUTH.

When we open our hearts and minds to learning the truth about what opportunities Birth provides, we change the balance of power. When you KNOW what you are losing by allowing yourself to be treated like a "patient", when you stop allowing fear of "what could happen" dictate your choices, and start walking your path toward your Birth strong, aware and awake-things are very very different.

As human (humyn) beings, we are comprised of 5 elements-in traditional childbirth classes, the element forcused on, is physical one. For example: "How" to give Birth-how to push, how to breathe, what to eat/drink, what medications may be offered, and what you might experience in labor and how to relieve some of these things by position changes and etc. This preparation can be beneficial, but there are 4 other elements that need equally as much preparation and teaching! When we prepare the Emotional, Psychological, Mental and Spiritual aspects of ourself for the process of Birth, we open yourself up to a new way of being in Birth. And we learn to trust our own instincts and believe in our bodies and all our other non-physical resources as a powerful, capable unit. Then, we are able to surrender really give Birth-in all its fullness!
Another benefit to this kind of preparation, is this: While it's been shown that women who prepare for the intangible aspects of Birth have a much better chance at accomplishing their ideal passage, IN the event that your Birth does NOT go as you planned, hoped, dreamed, you've got a TON more resources to lean on while you heal and grieve.

Women sometimes ask me: "Why is this so important. Isn't a healthy mom and baby the most important thing." Well-YES! But just as we are finally understanding the longlasting effects of verbal/emotional abuse, which most often does not have an immediate physical effect, and recognizing it's significance in the lives of those touched by it, the same applies to Birth. Being "healthy" isn't just about a strong heartbeat and physical post-birth healing. It's about HEALTH in all areas of our being-and our baby's.

When we can reestablish WOMEN as the "experts", and take our rightful place in the sacred space of Birth, with the respectful support of midwives and "awake" OB's, there will be a shift in the world. And we desperately need that shift-our children deserve a world where their needs and desires are paramount-above the pocketbooks of "Big Pharma", doctor's egos and our own limiting beliefs.

We also need to consider the effect of our choices on the next generation. What we do today, the choices we make in our own Birth, and the way we communicate the Birth process and our experience to other women, shapes their future experience in drastic ways. And this "circle of influence" extends out to touch the ends of the Earth- every woman and child. YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD-just by choosing a powerful, peaceful, gentle Birth for you and your Baby.

The wisdom found in this course is nothing new-it's been around since the beginning of time! We, as women,have just forgotten-These sacred truths cannot be found in a medical book-or science journal, and so it's been abandoned by those who practice medicine.

Consequently, women have been told half-truths and misinformation for so long, that as the generations move forward, there is less and less passed on to the next one. We are facing a crisis-we MUST learn these sacred feminine truths, and pass them on to our daughters! When we do this, we "re-birth" a whole new way of being Women in the world. How exciting to be able to share such a very important sacred secret with our daughters!

It is particularly wonderful to be able to approach Birth knowing-believing that we are entering a Passage for ourselves and our unborn, and that we have listened to them-shared the pregnancy journey with them, and have done all we could to ensure them a chance to come into the world peacefully and knowing love. This is a gift that can not be overstated. This is what "giving Birth" is. It is not only a physical act-it is a noun. We "Give" as a gift, "Birth" to our children.

In this course, you will explore your roots-and look at your support network. You will learn how to become a member of your Birth Circle-receiving wisdom and preparing to share yours once you have passed through Birth. You will learn the significance of having other women's support, and why they need yours-and you'll discover practical ways to accomplish this connection. You will also re-connect with the generations of women who have gone before you through Birth, and garner strength from their eternal strength and Wisdom.

You will explore mental, spiritual, emotional and psychological ways to prepare for Birth and to see the profound opportunity for transformation offered to you through the Birth Rite. You will learn how to balance "logic" with "intuition", and be encouraged to explore the rite of Birth as a way to strengthen all parts of who you are.

No matter who you are: if you've Birthed before or if this is your first Passage through, this course will challenge you to remove the veil of deceit given to you through incorrect messages of "patient" language, and encourage you to be free to choose the path you and your unborn baby have been called to walk together.

This will be the stage for my welcoming into this elite group- this Women Of a Thousand Generations.

This course is not for the faint of heart-it will be cathartic.

This journey-just like Birth-is not easy-but it is well worth the effort.

Would you get married without preparing at all for your wedding?

Two of life's most significant Rites of Passage, are having a baby and getting married. The majority of women who choose to get married spend up to a year planning their wedding, and several years of their life dreaming about it-what it will look like, what it will feel like. This is part of the joy of the process! Not one woman I've spoken to has ever said they were going to show up and see what happens!

However, we rarely give our Birth Passages even a week of time to prepare! When you ask a women what kind of Birth she's preparing for, most will say something like: "Well, I'd love a natural Birth, but...." (my doctor says I can't because I've had a C-section, My mom had difficult Births so I will probably as well, my husband is afraid of homebirth...you get the picture.) So many of these obstacles are non-physical, and are easily overcome with the right preparation!

It's an exciting opportunity to confirm what you already know: That Birth is about much more than having babies. And that for the Mother, the Passage through Birth is a journey separate from the one she takes into Motherhood.
