I've tried to come up with a catch-call label for Caitlin, and I honestly couldn't. One of the most fascinating people I've met in a long time, Caitlin is deeply human, defiantly feminine & unapologetically embodied. Trained as a Doula, Caitlin's life took a turn when she was called to stripping. Having taken this career around the world, she now teaches women how to strip as a portal to return them to their embodied, feminine essence - to regain a confidence in their womanhood many have lost in a patriarchal world. This is a must-listen for all - man, woman or anyone in between. The way Caitlin speaks of the female body helps us grasp the near incomprehensible magic of giving birth, something I feel we all need to stop and drop into at times. Caitlin's work begins at feminine empowerment and ends as a celebration of life and the beautiful bodies which nurture it into existence. Her perspective on birth & the ramifications of our societies denial of the female body & feminity is a perspective I have never heard before. It rocked me. Her life & reflections left an impression on me. As is often the case, I left this conversation with a new close friend - a maverick who constantly inspires me - and a deep appreciation for the sacred feminine.
