Carol Goddard a qualified life coach who has a back ground in midwifery, natural birth and breast feeding, is bridging the gap between what is offered as standard ante natal care and your inner yearning for the full experience of natural pregnancy and childbirth. This unique program is designed to prepare you for the miracle of birth and motherhood.
You are assisting at someone else’s birth. Do good without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening, rather than what you think ought to happen. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say: “We did it by ourselves.”
- Lao Tzu
Pregnancy and Birth is such beautiful opportunity to Reconnect to your Feminine Essence. With your heightened awareness and the intensity of creation happening within you, it is a natural time to heal deep wounds and to reclaim the essence of who you really are. From this healing and connection you are free to birth more powerfully, to celebrate your rite of passage into motherhood and to find your natural rhythm as a mother.
The miraculous process of birth allows a blossoming of your feminine essence. It should be such a sacred and honored time where you are supported and allowed to experience it and the empowerment it brings.
Unfortunately too many times this rite is taken away from women, often leaving you feeling disempowered, disappointed and a failure. Is it little wonder we have diagnoses like Post Natal Depression being made so frequently. Not receiving the trust, honor and support that is needs in your most vulnerable time can be crushing for many women.
Birthing in the presence of total support allows you to fully self-express the love you have for your new baby, your partner and yourself.
Our Invitation…….
In conjunction with what options of pregnancy and childbirth care you have chosen, we invite you to deepen the experience of pregnancy and birth as it is such beautiful opportunity to heal and learn about your most vulnerable side. Healing old wounds prevents you from carrying them over into motherhood.
Benefits of the programOur program includes 4 sessions in an intimate group of 3 women starting at around 32 weeks of pregnancy. The last session is when your baby is about 4 weeks old. You will be given the opportunity to heal any wounds that may prevent you from experiencing what should be a beautiful and miraculous experience. (In additional to this program private sessions are also available for women who have experienced sexual abuse, that often effects the birth process.)
This course is aimed to empower you to:
- Allow the full experience of the joys of pregnancy and birth
- To deeply trust your body during pregnancy and birth
- Surrender to the birth process
- Find your natural rhythm as a mother
- Celebrate your rite of passage into motherhood
The initial session around 32 weeks: Healing
Heal any wounds with your family, or any trauma you may have experienced in the past, including previous births: this is critical so that you can allow yourself to experience the sheer pleasure of touch before, during and after the birth, and especially for breastfeeding. This is very freeing and then allows a greater bond with your baby.
Session Two 34 weeks: Trusting and Allowing
Sharing what has opened up in relationships over the last 2 weeks since the last session. Exploring what it means to you to be mother. Deep trusting in your body and allowing yourself to be in the moment and feel the joy of pregnancy.
Session Three 36 weeks: Rite of Passage of Birth - Surrender and Fully Open to Birth
Surrendering to the birth process. Fully experience your body changing in preparation for birth. Appreciating the Sacred Rite of Passage to Motherhood. Deeply honoring and respecting yourself, and deeply trusting your innate wisdom to guide you, and trust in your body’s natural ability to birth.
Session Four around 4 weeks after the birth: Finding Your Natural Rhythm as a Mother, Celebrating Your Rite of Passage into Motherhood
Find your natural rhythm as a mother, nurturing yourself and your baby. Tips on breast feeding. Sharing what affirms you and empowers you as a woman and mother. Celebrating your Rite of Passage into Motherhood.
Why involve the father or birthing partner?
When your partner fully appreciates the essence of you as a woman and totally supports you in that, he is enhanced beyond measure. He is encouraged to come to a partner session where he will be empowered in his role to honor your transition into motherhood and to facilitate his own journey into fatherhood.
