Listen in to the Birth Story of Varlie told by Donna and Adam. 'Doing the work' and staying embodied during a challenging birth. The real power of a birth story comes from the deeper sharing. Sharing the shadow and sharing the work. This story is a prime example of a couple 'doing the work'. A She Births® family, Donna @this.is.donna Adam, baby Varli and dog Billie. I first met them during our weekend course here in Byron Bay. They are an embodied couple, both surfers, a great bodyworker and carpenter. They talk about the body to be a guide and lead the way in our preparation and our healing is key - it is a portal where we can learn to let go of all the beliefs and ideas that no longer serve us. Bodywork and shadow work are so important in the motherhood journey. Our tears, our letting go, our crisis are all opportunities for powerful transformation. Just like pain is a portal for power. In this episode we chat about: How they scripted their birth How they scripted each trimester How they chose to rewrite their family lineage How labour was irregular and even stopped Using active birth strategies like duck walking to help with an asynclitic head presentation Osteopath's help with lactation A partner and doula's role throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum.
