I visualized the Lotus Flower during birth, keeping my mouth loose and open, repeating to myself: “My womb is like the petals of a lotus flower … I am opening, each petal unfurling, I am open.” This is a helpful exercise when labour seems to be going slowly or is stalled, though in my case, my baby was born after only 3 hours!

Meet the duo behind Indie Birth
We are mamas and midwives who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are radical, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit to help move us all towards a new more beautiful world. With 12 children and over two decades of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.
