Historically, during their birthing time, women were surrounded by other women. Midwives, mothers, sisters and female elders within their communities. The modern-day birth journey is a bit different as, over time, birth became institutionalized. I feel it is important to bring back the circle of sisterhood to birth. The loving connection of female spirits sharing a miraculous event. At the same time, it is just important to also honor the mother’s partner and welcome them into the space as well. I have learned that, in addition to physically and emotionally supporting a growing family, it is just as essential to hold and protect the birthing family’s space of peace and serenity.
