These are My beautiful placentas from 3 of my 4 children. After my first birth I was introduced to lotus birth and really resonated with the practice. It was such an intentionally gentle and peaceful way to transition my babies earth side. Each experience different but so beautiful and memorable. I still haven’t been able to bury them yet so they sit on my night table next to my bed where I occasionally take them out and revel in their beauty. Each of my kiddos knows which one is their own. And I love that! In 9 days I am embarking on somewhat of a pilgrimage to BALI where I will study alongside Ibu Robin Lim who wrote the book “Placenta The Forgotten Chakra” and Debra Pascali-Bunaro author of “Orgasmic Birth” for an advanced doula workshop. Birth is my calling. I have been called to serve women and as my babies grow older I am coming back to myself and my body and immersing my heart in the art of holding sacred space for women in this most transformative rite of passage. From maiden to mother. As I walk back to my path I know in order to serve in the highest authenticity and integrity I MUST learn the wisdom intact like the umbilical of the lotus placenta. I am so grateful and humbled to be able to make this trip where I will be witness to the power of birth, the power of women, and the power of life. I am ready to receive all the messages and all of the lessons so I may be an effective birth keeper. How mothers birth there babies matters. How babies come into this world matters. Holding space to allow mothers to birth their babies in their strength and love and power is the path to peace. Much love ❤️ 🪶.
