March-September 2021, I moved back to the UK to work as Consultant Midwife. I was one of the senior leaders of maternity services advocating for women and promoting birth physiology. While in the Uk, I certified as Yoga Nidra teacher with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli.
Since 2008 until now, I have unlearnt, observed and self-studied on birth physiology and invested in my personal growth. Now I am interning with dr. Gabor Matè and the team of Compassionate Inquiry (CI) about healing our trauma, our stories through compassion and body's wisdom. And learning about somatic embodiment & self-regulation therapies. On my way to become CI practitioner.
A long way, finally, all those years brought me back to myself. It is so important for me now to do what I love, to fully express myself, my creativity.
I quitted working & supporting medical systems, I don't recognise myself as a medical midwife anymore. I am offering my talents as an independent consultant, in service to women and families. I do trauma & birth-work to restore intuitions and body-mind-heart connection.
One of my dreams is to support women and families, to build a community birth approach so that women give birth with love and joy, not isolated. I don't believe childbirth should happen inside the hospital. I have witnessed many horror stories inside the medical system - manipulation, control, toxic dynamics, very traumatic births, very poor self-care. I believe birth should be a family event, outside hospitals, where women are able to birth gently, naturally, with love & presence for their process and their babies. The way women give birth impact their lives and our planet. If we re-connect with ourselves, we see the beauty in ourselves and peel away layers of trauma, social pressure and cultural toxicity, we can see us: already whole and powerful human being and we can show up in every stage of our lives in full power, including in birth and motherhood.
Join me in the revolution.
