Reclaiming Birth: The Experience That Changed Everything
Reclaiming Birth: The Experience That Changed Everything
I didn’t plan on becoming a birth educator. In fact, I never imagined myself here — teaching others how to feel confident and calm in birth. But life, as it often does, had other plans.

My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. It was heartbreaking. Physically painful, emotionally draining, and spiritually disorienting. I remember feeling as if my body had failed me — and more than that, I felt completely alone. No one had warned me about the silence that follows loss. The awkwardness. The ache. The quiet fear that settles in your bones as you enter another pregnancy, unsure if your body can be trusted.

“I didn’t want to be afraid of my body anymore. I wanted to feel powerful, prepared, and part of the process.”
“I didn’t want to be afraid of my body anymore. I wanted to feel powerful, prepared, and part of the process.”
When I became pregnant again, I was determined to do everything “right.” I followed the guidance, went to the appointments, and hoped for the best. But the birth experience left me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disempowered. Yes, my baby was healthy, and yes, I was grateful — but I didn’t feel like I had participated in my own experience. I felt like things had just happened to me. And that feeling stayed with me.
It was during my third pregnancy that I discovered hypnobirthing — and it changed everything.
At first, I was skeptical. The name alone made me hesitate. But what I found wasn’t fluffy or far-fetched — it was grounded, logical, and incredibly practical. HypnoBirthing gave me tools to understand how fear affects the body, how tension increases pain, and how the mind-body connection is essential in labor. I learned to use my breath, my thoughts, and my voice. I learned how to advocate for myself. And most of all, I learned to trust in the natural wisdom of my own body.
The difference was night and day.
My second birth was calm, connected, and deeply healing. For the first time, I felt present. I felt strong. And I knew — without question — that I wanted other women to experience the same transformation.

‘When we replace fear with understanding, and pressure with support, birth becomes not just bearable — but beautiful.’

That’s why I founded The Intuitive Mother. To share these tools. To normalize conversations around birth choices. To offer support that’s evidence-based, inclusive, and empowering.
