In today’s episode, I’m joined by the inspiring Shelby—mother of three, Vinyasa, Yin, Prenatal, and Postnatal Yoga Teacher, and Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery Practitioner. Booking into a birth centre where she had continuity of care and going through her prenatal yoga training, Shelby felt ready for her journey. Despite having a water birth, she experienced a sense of disconnection and described herself as feeling lost. Shelby desired a different path for her next birth but held fear around delivering vaginally due to her previous birth and prolapse. During this labour, she experienced the beginnings of the fetal ejection reflex for the first time, which was a powerful moment of bodily wisdom. However, hospital protocols and interventions eventually led to a cesarean birth. Despite this, Shelby embraced each step with pride and surrender, finding magical moments of peace and beauty along the way. Her third birth was where true transformation unfolded. Drawing on her wisdom as a Rebirthing Breathwork Practitioner, Shelby applied the lessons from her previous experiences and the profound insights from her personal journey. She takes us through her empowering third birth at home, a healing experience that brought her full circle in all the most beautiful ways.
