Somatic Practitioner & Traditional Midwife

Birth doesn’t begin in labor.
It begins in the nervous system, the tissues, the subconscious, and the stories we carry.
Primal Birthing is rooted in the understanding that the body already knows how to birth—but fear, unresolved trauma, and disconnection from instinct can interrupt that knowing.
When we prepare somatically and relationally, birth becomes less about control and more about safety, trust, and surrender.

Why most birth preparation isn’t enough
-
Birth happens through the nervous system
-
Fear cannot be talked away—it must be met in the body
-
The body remembers previous births, medical experiences, and early imprints
-
Safety, presence, and support create physiological ease
“Your body already knows how to birth. Preparation is remembering how to listen.”
