Mamma

" I am the blessed Mamma of two beautiful children: Trinity and Jimi Jazz.

For me mothering is a very spiritual journey in which letting go and trusting have been my recurring lessons. I entered motherhood with an emergency C-section after a planned homebirth, it was quite a bang. In the following months I suffered from PND experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and a lot of tears. It was a wild ride of self discovery, growth and deep connections within my family.

Gathering knowledge and courage I began to follow my intuition and go ‘with’ my baby. For me this meant going against the grain and finding little support for my wild ways. (I raised some eyebrows breastfeeding my 2 1/2 year old when I was 8 months pregnant!) I have always followed my heart and trusted my children despite at times feeling lonely and isolated. Learning along the way to surrender and soften, to tune in and listen to each child’s rhythm.

My second child was born beautifully at home, I found this both healing and empowering. I had to embrace my fears and let go before Jimi Jazz joined us (well into my 42nd week). Labouring alone and by candlelight I was able to lose myself to the rhythms of my birthing song.

I love everything that motherhood brings; vulnerability, courage, strength, compassion, inspiration….. it is truly a wonderful gift, a divine dance. "
