Lynley's Journey - Traumatic Initiation into Motherhood to a Healing Home Birth

Today we welcome Lynley to the podcast. Lynley’s first birth was a traumatic experience. Her planned home birth ended in an emergency cesarean, and she was devastatingly separated from her precious boy for 14 hours. When Lynley found herself pregnant again, she was determined to do the inner work in order to prepare for the healing birth that she so desperately desired.

In this episode of the Healing Birth Podcast, Lynley shares with us her discovery of the inherent wisdom in working through fears and allowing grief to surface. These things are vital aspects of the healing journey. She talks about how she addressed her fears in preparation for her next birth, and how a traumatic birth has the potential to teach us such powerful lessons about ourselves when we are willing to ‘do the work.’

As a consequence of her mothering journey, Lynley now facilitates beautiful women’s circles via her business, Seasons and Circles, and she holds nourishing mother blessings for pregnant mamas.
