Farah Orths (Rising) & I delve into the juicy topic of dance and how it is a reflection of our journey through life and how it is interconnected with birth. Dance is so deeply intertwined with the ebbs and flows of life and of birth and Farah bring such wisdom and medicine into this podcast. We talk of the freedom and healing which is held on the other side of embodiment and Farah unearths the myths about dance and what we’ve been taught in our society. We speak about how dance can be deeply healing and moving and how it connects us deeply to the divine within, releasing trauma and ancestral stories. We share our own experiences and advice on how you can start to bring dance into your own journey for healing & growth.

In the UK Breastfeeding rates are at an all time low. A study from 2010 showed:
- 80% of mothers + babies breastfed initially at birth
- 24% of mothers exclusively breastfed at 6 weeks
- 1% of mothers exclusively breastfed at 6 months
We know just how important breastmilk can be for mothers wellbeing and the wellbeing of our babies - this drop in breastfeeding is an epidemic, as is the lack of support breastfeeding mother receive and the implications of this reality for both mothers + babies is detrimental.
In this Episode I interview the lovely Hazra who is a Muslim Birth + Postnatal Doula + Breastfeeding Support Councillor, based in Bristol.
We talk about the shocking stats of Breastfeeding in the UK + the reality behind the numbers, why it's at an all time low + how we can begin to support mothers to have an intact + empowered breastfeeding journey.

Do you know much about your own journey onto this earth?
Through new research on Epigenetics we can see how trauma truly can be carried ancestrally through our bodies on a cellular level from mother to child + thus affect how we behave day to day. The correlation of our own birth stories can impact the way we show up in the world even as adults.
We talk about how our maternal mothers + grandmothers births + pregnancies can be carried through to our own nervous systems, creating the foundation for our blueprint of birth, potentially even impacting how to go on to birth our own babies.
Shani shares about how we can begin to heal ancestral trauma through breathwork, before conception or during pregnancy, WHY it's SO important and how making peace with these stories can impact our birth experiences + our lives in the most liberting of ways.
The best part?
