remembered a vocal toning workshop mum had dragged me along to when I was a teen and started to make“ ahhh” and“ ohh” and“ eee” sounds with the sound of the bowl. All of a sudden all of my thoughts and insecurities fell away and all I was left with was my voice and the sound of that beautiful resonant bowl!
I demanded that that bowl was to be played during every contraction after that! During this birth I felt focused, in control, intuitive, powerful and even playful! Little Kira was born just as the sun rose 4 hours later.
Not long after this experience I started sharing SoundBirth with expectant couples and birth professionals in Perth and a few more around the world. There have been a number of SoundBirths in hospitals and at homebirths and they have all reported similar positive experiences.
Knowing that I am contributing to the positive birth movement around the world by sharing tools that support women to find their voice, feel their power and birth their babies gently gives me great joy. I also feel that continuing to teach SoundBirth assists in my own healing process as I know how painful it is to hold back your truth, your voice.
I love giving women“ permission” to use the most powerful and healing instrument in the Universe …. their voice. This is what I am passionate about and what therefore gives me the energy to continue to share SoundBirth with the world!
