We have Katie sharing her story on the Midwitch Podcast today, sharing her freebirth story just 3 weeks post birth with us!
Katie shares the intimate details of her freebirth (just days before the Hurricanes hit Florida in October this year), as well as her conscious conception and spiritually managed pregnancy journey - plus how participating in (and facilitating!) Ayahuasca ceremonies prepared her for freebirth.
As you'll hear, Katie's story and life is so unique! A fundamentalist religious group escapee, turned nudist, now living within a naturalist community - Katie shares details of what brought her to the moment of birthing her daughter with only her husband present, in an open aired bath tub under the stars, next to their converted bus!
Plus the fleeting moment of fear she dipped into post birth, within minutes of her daughter emerging - and how she and her husband navigated this.
You're going to love Katie and this conversation! -
We have Arielle The Cosmic Channel all the way from Colorado on the Midwitch Podcast today!
We chat all things energy healing, 5th, 7th and 9th Dimensions, false light modalities, online discernment, integrity and consent within the world of healing. Arielle also shares a LIVE powerful Light Language transmission with us!
In 2020 Arielle channeled an entire 9D healing frequency that she speaks about, as well as the Nervous System work she had to do to expand her capacity to bring it to the world - off the back of a channeled realisation that the era of Reiki is over.
You're going to love this conversation! It was such a pleasure to speak with Arielle and hear another Energy Healer's story, what it's like to practice this in the world and what this can look like in the New Earth! Arielle also offers our community a very generous DISCOUNT CODE at the very end, which you can apply to her services. -

Join us for a beautiful conversation with Earth Mama Hayley from Earthed Intimacy as we dive deep into the world of Yoni Mapping, Internal Pelvic Work, Parasympathetic Arousal - as we also explore the overmarketed realms of nervous system regulation, somatics and the (online) quest for cervical and pleasure orgasms.
Hayley is an Internal Bodywork Yoni Mapping Therapist, that draws on a range of healing modalities to bring her clients to a place of self intimacy.
Hayley shares with us a detailed walkthrough of what a Yoni Mapping / Massage session entails from start to finish (and the importance of anatomy education in these practices) how Parasympathetic Arousal differs from other forms of arousal, her wise insights on the expectations and outcomes around women opening up their legs for inspection and exploration, understanding the body's way of giving consent beyond just a verbal yes - and much much more.
Every woman should listen to this episode!

I speak with Asteroid Chart Reader and Healer, Kristy Borbas, who shares with us the Feminine version of Astrology and how this aigns with the re-emergence of the Divine.
We discuss the Patriarchal shift in Astrology and how we can personally use these feminine placements to release and heal all that has been hidden and supressed within us - as women and Mothers.
We cover the 4 main Asteroids (plus some bonuses!), which Goddesses govern them, the houses and areas of life they activate and which feminine wounds can be healed through them.
Plus some Greek Mythology, Kristy's pilgrimage back to her Motherland, archetypal work and more!

DeAnn knew that a reconnection to her Higher Self was key in opening up a mindset in preparation for birth that was like no other.
Listen as DeAnn speaks about the absolute necessity of birthing women learning how to reconnect to this powerful guidance from within, the way she created and nurtured this relationship herself, and why it is key in preventing birthing women leaning into external support that isn't right for them.

After her dreambirth was taken away from her during an abusive, highly intervened with and traumatic first birth experience (following the diagnosis of Gestational Thrombocytopenia at 35 weeks) Kailah knew something wasn't right post birth and opened herself up to another way for her next birthing experience.
Feeling unprepared and lacking the feminine guidance she desired in her first pregnancy (although she received continuity of care) and realising Private Midwifery and Doula support was unaffordable, she divinely reconnected with a friend who brought the idea of birthing unassisted into her consciousness.
Kailah shares her pregnancy and labour journey, what she had to work through after the fear of "bleeding out" had been planted in her head by medical professionals first time round and the backlash she received from her family that did not condone her choices, one day after birth.

The Intelligence of Water with Veda Austin
Veda Austin is a Water Researcher, taking Crystallographic images of frozen water - visually capturing the way water responds to influences around it and producing mind blowing results that show quite clearly that water does have it's own intelligence, in the 3D realm and beyond the veil.
In this episode we discuss the intelligence of water in relation to pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, our amniotic fluid, early birth blood, fertile and infertile semen and many more examples of the way bodily fluids can tell us something about ourselves.
I have many questions for Veda in this episode; about the way the moon affects water, if ocean water can become informed, how exactly our thoughts and feelings imprint on us as literal bodies of water and how water stores information and memory.

Celebrating Death in Birth: The Early Freebirth of Freya Rose
After experiencing a traumatic first birth, Erin decided she was going to freebirth her second child and during her pregnancy weaved a beautiful web of wise women around her; who would later become her supportive tribe when she birthed her babe early.
Erin speaks so powerfully and so candidly about the loss of her baby girl and the medicine she received in being able to do so. She touches on the stigma around miscarriages and the unspoken process that becomes so dehumanised by the way society speaks about it and her newfound understanding that she wishes to share with other women - that death is sad, but not scary.
Erin shares about the painful moment she first realised her baby had died, she describes the physiology of birthing her baby undisturbed and freely in her home, the difference between fear and body wisdom/intuition, the ways in she which she honoured her daughter, herself and her experience - and expresses so perfectly the duality of celebrating life and death together.
Erin shares the gratitude and growth she leant into, her new relationship to life and birth via the desire she had to experience it all (physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally), the reclamation of, and reconnection to her body wisdom, through witnessing her body birth her babe unassisted - and the beautiful way she speaks about it all with her youngest daughter.
Erin now facilitates Early Birth Shamanic Healing and Celebratory Ceremony and Ritual for women and is also now teaching Birthworkers how to come into relationship with death as a part of birthwork, so that they are able to support birthing women without fear.

In this informative episode, Laura shares her knowledge and wisdom around a topic that has been denied to women for so many generations; autonomy in managing our own reproductive health.
Laura speaks about Body Literacy for Girls and the ways in which we can create spaces to guide young women in reconnecting with their mammalian nature - to come into their power before they outsource pharmaceutical products or medical advice.
We speak about the Pill and it's damaging effects, the natural forms of contraception and conception (that no one is speaking about), the difference between The Rhythm Method and FAM (The Fertility Awareness Method), learning to observe the body for hormonal health and fertility and our common dislike of Period Tracking Apps.
We chat about common female reproductive health issues such as PCOS, Endometriosis, cysts and fibroids - some of the causes of these and offers some wise woman practices to correct them. Laura delves into Postpartum Tracking for Mothers and squashes the myths around a postpartum mother's cycle returning.
This episode if full of the wisdom we wished our Grandmothers and the Crones in our communities had of passed down to us!

After an older wise women in her community told Kendall that Mothers used to birth their babies in the local river, she decided to birth her first babe at home - and that hiring a Midwife would be a 'happy medium' as a first time Mum.
But once there was meconium in her waters, and her Midwife had consulted the hospital behind her back, she didn't feel supported anymore. Kendall's homebirth transfer resulted in a traumatic first birth. She lost trust in herself and became confused as to why her experience was so different from the birth vision she had worked so hard to manifest.
Second time pregnant, Kendall spontaneously cancelled her one and only Midwife appointment to go surfing with her husband - and from that day forward took sole responsibility of her prenatal care. Kendall rented an Air BnB and found a supportive birth partner in her sister, alongside her husband.
A momentary lapse in confidence during labour saw Kendall heading back to the same hospital she had birthed her first son. But divine intervention (and 2 cattle grids!) swept in en route to stop that from happening. I'll leave the rest of this epic story for you to listen to!

After a traumatic and painful induced first birth, followed by a disconnected postpartum; Chantelle swore she would never birth in the same rural hospital within her South Australian town ever again.
Chantelle shares her journey to an unassisted second birth, including her early birth and loss in between and the visitation form her Spirit Baby that guided her in learning to trust herself again.
She shares the ways in which she navigated a wild pregnancy in a small Australian town and the boundaries required when those closest to her disagreed with her birthing choices.
Chantelle describes the way every part of her sacred and powerful freebirth healed her, including the revisitation to the hospital she had sworn never to return to, after an issue with her placenta delivery.
Her story is one of powerful intuition and trust - and a perfect example of the ways in which we can, and should be able to, access medical care if needed.

Well known Australia Herbalist, Julie Bell, is on The Midwitch Podcast this month, teaching us about our ability as women to get in touch with the wild!
Grab a pen and take notes on this episode mamas, you're going to learn about the wisdom of weeds, your herbal allies, the synergistic partnership between woman and plant (that science can't quite put their finger on!), the correlation between the names of herbs, their feminine archetypes and their energetic constituents - plus much more in relation to Nature's Medicine Cabinet.
Julie and I also delve into the hidden herstory of herbalism, the absence of women healers in the archives of medicine, the patriarchal attitude towards natural healing, reintegrating women into their own womanly wisdom, the sacred art of Yoni Steaming, the menstrual cycle and, of course, birth!

This episode came from deep within the archives of 2020 unedited interviews, and it couldn't be unearthed at a more perfect time as women and birthworkers are exploring women's rights in childbirth within the system.
I had an in depth discussion with Tina Charlton, Freebirth Witness and Support, starting out with her research in Obstetric Violence in her home country of Germany and then within her second home, Australia.
We touched on the questions that so many women ponder, and the facts so many mis-educate on:
Is it really enough to know your birth rights?
The loose language used around these.
Even when you know them, are they going to upheld?
Is anybody ever held accountable if they're not?
We dove deep into the reframing of birth trauma by the system, the normalisation of inflicted birth injuries, the grooming of women starting in teenage years under the guise of reproductive health, how to truly research birth and educate yourself with independent information, what true birth trauma support looks like and who you should be turning to for that, what is consent, what is medical negligence and lastly - why are there so many men in positions of care within women's reproductive health?

Feminine Rites of Rage with Vanessa Beauchamp from Weaving Hearth
Vanessa is an extremely talented writer and creative, working to guide women in reclaiming their fire.
I this episode, Vanessa shares her wisdom around the neglected, rejected and repressed parts of ourselves - as mothers and women; the split between the mother and the whore, the othering in the 'healer' world, what a true Matriarchal home can look like, the suppression rather than expression of what we feel as women and the detrimental ways this is feeding into the collective.
We discuss the ways in which men have been granted permission to feel their rage and their fire, yet we have not as women; the ways we've been conditioned to override our sensory experiences instead of inviting them in; the ways in which we can clear the bloodlines of our ancestry and the unspoken shadow side of motherhood.
The most important take away for me was the rembering that EVERYTHING walks with it's opposite; therefore when we push away our rage, we also push away our desire! I know you'll love this chat about uncovering our pains as women, to be able to experience the inflow of it's polar opposite - JOY!

Madeleine shares with us, what she describes as, the evolution of herself via the births of her 3 children. Starting out in the system with the belief that they were the experts on her body and her baby, to coming full circle and roaring her baby into the world unassisted and in her absolute power.
Madeleine tells us how the 4 hour lecture from a Private Midwife was the catalyst to questioning everything she ever knew and had been told about birth, sending her on the trajectory of disallowing ANYONE telling her how her birth was going to be!

If you've been following Hannah's story since our first chat on channeling Spirit Babies and Conscious Conception, then you're going to love hearing part 2 of Hannah's journey - the story of conceiving her son, birthing him unassisted at home and finding a new way of healing through releasing the belief that the only way to heal was through a freebirth.
Hannah also shares with us the almost identical unfolding of her son's birth, to her daughter's, with contractions starting at 28 weeks and birthing them both at 35.5 weeks; the divinely guided trip to the same hospital in the same triage room during labour and her partial placenta previa.
We discuss many elements of the spiritual nature of birth, healing the mother wound, connecting with our Ancestors and how her placenta held the keys to healing her first birth trauma.

I've always said; if you want to learn about va((ines and how to make informed decisions about them as a mother - access the mother of a va((ine injured child. Because no one will have more information, more resources to provide you, more research to refer you to - and no one will understand the way the system works better than them. They've walked this path, into the fire and back - and I know you'll find this to be true too, after listening to this interview.
In this episode of The Midwitch Podcast, I speak with Aussie Mama Melanie, who shares the story of her 6 and a 1/2 year old, va((ine injured son, Chandler.
After Chandler received his 18 month va((inations, Melanie immediately knew something wasn't right with her son. She speaks of the way her intuition was ignored, the way in which Chandler was passed from Paediatrician to Paediatrician, from Child Health Nurse, to Speech Therapist, to Occupational Therapist.
She discusses the way the Public Health System took no accountability and gave her no answers; diagnosing Chandler with a vaccine induced brain injury, but then revoking the diagnosis and wiping all evidence from his file. Yet advising her to continue him on the schedule...
For the last 5 years; Melanie and her husband have spent all of their time, money and energy on healing their son from within, after the medical system failed to support them.
This is a very raw discussion, about the journey Chandler and his family have been on - which unfortunately is a very common one within Australia.
Melanie bravely and honestly shares the way Chandler has been let down by the system time and time again - whilst his Mother continues to seek the answers that everyone is trying to keep from her...

I speak with Martina, who was reported, investigated and suspended as a Private Homebirth Midwife in Australia.
After realising there was no way she could support a birthing woman wanting to birth at home on their terms, by remaining registered with the system, and noticing herself practicing differently in order to toe the line with APHRA - she saw clearly that she could not fix the system from within it, and resigned from the medical birthing system all together.
Martina talks about her journey to, and within, Midwifery, the unregulated investigation process she was taken through and the famous twin birth attendance that was the catalyst for her journey of awakening.
This is a transparent and honest discussion that every birthing woman should listen to, to understand what overshadows you when choosing a medicalised homebirth, as well as the woman you are hiring to be present at your birth.
