The maternity system doesn’t "hold space" for us to trust ourselves through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum.
It does the absolute opposite and put's itself as the expert over you and your baby.
Our culture doesn’t teach us to trust birth.Â
Quite the opposite. It tells us its the most dangerous thing a woman can do.
And so, even when we want a natural birth, we’re often walking in blind without much knowledge and no support from the system or culture around us.
It's not an easy task!
Just wanting to have a natural birth as natures design intended these days is not enough.
You need to rewire your subconscious mind in believing it is possible for you after a life time of your culture and m...
It’s that quiet liminal space—between ovulation and a missed period—where hope dances with uncertainty.
Where every twinge feels like a sign, and every symptom sends us deep into Google searches at midnight.
If you’re here, you might be in that tender portal—wondering, waiting, noticing.
Maybe you just feel different and can't explain why.
Maybe your breasts feel a little heavier, your dreams a little more vivid, or your emotions more raw and heightened.
So, let’s talk about those early pregnancy signs.
Not just the physical ones (though we’ll go there), but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual signs—the ones you won’t find on most symptom checklists, but that matter just as much.
Â
These are the classic ones you may already know
Breast tenderness or swelling
Mild cramping or bloating (like PMS, but subtly different)
Fatigue – like bon
...Those quiet days in the luteal phase where you’re listening to your body with such deep attention, searching for signs, whispering what-ifs, and feeling everything more intensely than usual.
And then… you notice a spot of blood.
Your heart sinks. Is this my period coming early?
Or… could this be something else?
Â
Implantation bleeding is a small amount of spotting or light bleeding that can happen when a fertilized egg implants itself into the uterine lining.
This usually occurs about 6–12 days after ovulation, which for many women is right around cycle day 20–26, or week 4–5 of pregnancy (though they might not know they’re pregnant yet).
It can look like:
A pinkish, light brown or rust-colored spot
A single wipe or small streak
Light bleeding that lasts a few hours or
...While mainstream pregnancy guides focus on size comparisons and medical milestones, this blog post is about inviting you into something deeper and more meaningful.
About listening to your body's whispers, honoring your emotions, and deepening your connection with your baby, your body and soul, and your feminine wisdom.
Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, these reflections are here to support you as you walk the spiral path from maiden to mother (or mother again to a new life).
Each week offers an invitation to reflect, realign, and root into the sacred unfolding of life within.

In Sweden, we call it Midsommar, a time rich with tradition, wildflowers, fertility rites, dancing, and celebrations.
This is the longest day and shortest night, a cosmic crescendo—the sun at its peak, the earth in full bloom, and the invitation for us, too, to stand fully in our own light and shine as nature!
In the sacred spiral of the seasons, summer is the season of the Mother & Birth.
Of creation & full expression.
Â
Just as the Earth Swells with Abundance, so too does the Womb of the Mother ready to Birth!
Summer is the season of birth—literal and metaphorical.
It’s the time when ideas conceived in the season of winter and planted in spring come into fruition.
For the woman walking the path of pregnancy this solstice offers a mirror.
You are the embodiment of the season—full to the brim, powerfully shining and glowing with the creative force of life i...
Physiological birth is almost extinct within the western medicalized birth culture (whether you're birthing in a wester country or not) and often minimized in mainstream culture, treated as something idealistic but not for the modern woman.
But in truth, it is the original design, rooted in biology, cellular wisdom, and ancestral memory.
Â
To birth physiologically means to birth in alignment with the body’s natural hormonal orchestration, instincts, rhythms, and undisturbed intelligence.Â
And the benefits?
They reach far beyond the birth room.
Let’s go deeper into all the ways that physiological birth deeply nourishes the baby, the mother, and our collective human story.

Babies are not passive recipients in birth—they are active participants birthing themselves, wired by nature to experience labor as a trans...

Through birth, we don’t just meet our babies—we meet ourselves.
Over the past year, The Natural Birth Podcast has been graced by the voices of incredible birthing mamas, each sharing their raw, powerful experiences.
Their stories remind us that birth is so much more than a medical event.
It’s a sacred initiation, a rite of passage, a moment that changes a woman forever.
For this year's Mother’s Day, I’ve gathered some of the most profound wisdom shared by these women.
Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone you love, or simply honoring the sacredness of this journey, may these words serve as inspiration, encouragement, and a reminder of the power that lives within every birthing woman.
Â
One of the most consi...
But over generations, through colonization, control, power and greed, medicalization, and fear, these rites of passage were stripped of their meaning and no longer held as sacred or woman's business.
And with that, you—the woman who remembers—were told to forget.
To be quiet.
To get a think logically.Â
To be "as good as any man".
To not be too mystical, too loud, too intuitive, too sensitive, too much.
But your soul didn’t forget.
It just waited for the right time to rise again.
The reason you feel this pull toward birth work isn’t because you want a new job or a side hustle.
It’s because something inside you knows this work is your lineage.
You are part of a long line of women who’ve whispered praye...
For me, there is nothing more magical than being invited into someone’s home to witness the unfolding of birth in its most natural and primal form. The energy, the presence, the transformation—it’s impossible to put into words.
If you're planning a home birth—whether solo, with a midwife, or a birth support team—this blog is for you. I’m here to share what you really need to prepare: not just practically, but energetically and spiritually.
Home birth carries a unique frequency. It’s sacred. It’s yours.
In a world that so often medicalizes and manages birth, reclaiming your birth space and trusting your body is a radical act of sovereignty.
Unlike the clinical environment of a hospital, at home you're surrounded by your own energy, your smells, your things—your nervous system feels safe here....
For those who long for a natural, undisturbed birth, the hospital environment can present unique challenges. The bright lights, strict protocols, and medicalized approach can feel at odds with the intuitive, primal nature of birth.
But here’s the truth: It is absolutely possible to have a natural birth in a hospital.
The key lies in knowledge, preparation both internal and external, and unwavering trust in your body.
By understanding the hospital system, assembling a strong support team, and embodying confidence in your choices, you can create the conditions for an empowered, physiological birth—even in a medical setting.
When you step into a hospital, you are entering a system that prioritizes efficiency, protocol, and risk management. While hospitals can provide life-...
