The Path Ahead
We journey together through the landscape and terrain of the Childbearing Year of 13 Moons. We explore holistic and gentle approaches to conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond as a sacred path of co-creation, a rite of passage for mother, baby, father, family and community.
We begin with pre-conception and travel together through pregnancy, labour, birth, breastfeeding, postpartum, the babymoon and beyond. Throughout our time together, you'll be given resources to help you ground into each phase of the journey, knowledge to deepen your mental understanding, and community from across the world to hold you throughout your process.
Welcome!
Feel inspired by the transformative power of aligning with natural cycles. This journey has been curated to offer a blend of introspection and action, sharing and skills, guiding us through a 13 moon voyage aligned with the lunar calendar.
Each step is an awakening, carefully structured to ensure you gain clarity, strengthen your intuition, and harness the innate knowing within to empower your personal growth, and in depth understanding of the Childbearing Continuum. This isn't just about new skills; it's about cultivating a deeper connection with yourself, with Birth and the web of womb wisdom weavers around the world.
