Reclaiming an ancient tradition

My mother, Angelikah, birthed eight children naturally, her last three at home, unassisted by doctor or midwife. She has deeply inspired me. My own experiences of birth have been: a beautiful birth by candlelight in my bedroom; and an induced birth in hospital with my baby born ‘blue’, and spending the first few days of life attached to all sorts of machines in NICU. My book  The Birthkeepers: reclaiming an ancient tradition is a book I wish had been ingrained into me before I became a mother. The influences around us play a huge role in birth. “Positive birth stories only, please, my baby is listening” should be worn on t-shirts by all pregnant women.

Just felt in my heart this morning to send you this mail because of the inspiration I got from reading your book. The Birthkeepers was just enormous in the birth of my daughter, Uma Grace, who is now five weeks old. Your book really did change my life, and to say I am grateful for coming across it and you is a HUGE understatement. So all I can say is Thank you!

Thank you for the work you do, and the words you write. You’re amazing!

Blessings and Love,
Ijay

The Birthkeepers

Where to start. I have so much heart to share with you as your book became my birth Bible throughout my first and second pregnancies. Now as my sister prepares to birth herself I have searched for your book again and now with such love in my heart I share your wisdom to another woman through her journey of producing life.

Thankyou, with such gratitude for your words, your teachings and for sharing with us things we already know but need a little guidance to find within.

With all my respect and humbleness,

Ruth

The old Holly tree is outdoing herself this year. The old Holly tree is outdoing herself this year. Thick with berries. A sign of a deep, long Winter ahead. 

I've thoroughly enjoyed a long, lovely and relaxing day tidying up the garden before the weather turns.

You'd never guess it from the laughter and colour You'd never guess it from the laughter and colour in this gorgeous photo from Emily and Fraser's wedding ceremony but the weather was rather dramatic! 

Rumbles of thunder and lightning flashes as I was getting ready to drive to the venue. Thankfully I was dressed and ready to go when the electricity went off!

And then flooded roads and detours. Torrential rain. Kept my nerve. Breathed deeply. Finally made it.

Such a special day for a beautiful couple. Congratulations Emily and Fraser!
