Take it from a midwife...
Birth isn’t something you conquer.
It’s something you surrender into.
One of the most powerful moments in labour is a phase called transition. It's the moment where your nervous system taps out. Where every part of you yells "I can’t do this anymore".
Which is kind of true. THAT version of you can’t. Because the version of you that tries to stay in control? She doesn’t make it through transition and the reason is this:
Birth doesn’t respond to force.
It responds to surrender.
Learning to surrender during birth (any type of birth!) is what allows the present version of you to give way to a stronger, wiser, and more powerful version of you. One you might not have noticed before, but she's been there a long time. Waiting for her chance to surface. And she's in there, trust me! I've seen these versions of women emerge during birth hundreds and hundreds of times over. It's probably the entire reason that I have been doing this for more than 17 years.
The Power of Surrender is just 1 of 10 modules inside Aligned Birth - a program I personally wrote to prepare you for the parts of birth you can’t rehearse. In it, we explore how resistance (physical, emotional, mental) can actually make birth harder… and how learning to surrender can unlock an inner strength that many women wrongly assume they don't possess.
This work is about:
• stopping the fight with your body
• understanding how resistance amplifies pain
• learning how to yield instead of shut down
• staying regulated when things go sideways
For a very short time, I am offering to personally coach you through The Power of Surrender and help you apply it to your birth: your fears, your control patterns, your nervous system.
Not a course.
Not more breathing techniques and mindfulness.
Actual mindset coaching.
For a puny NZ$49.
If surrender scares you, good.
That’s usually where the work is.
Comment SURRENDER to step in.
