BLISSFUL Childbearing is not only possible, but also INEVITABLE, when feminine INTEGRITY is honored,
nourished & restored.
When Birth trauma is cleared & fear is removed,
as intuitive & factual information dominates your consciousness,
when we recognize how
profoundly important this exquisitely sensitive period is to the rest of your child's life,
we honor & respect the needs of mother AND baby fully, creating a safe and nurturing environment - BOTH INSIDE & OUT - for the spontaneous & unimpeded unfolding of a smooth and gentle birthing experience.
Protecting the integrity of the symbiotic mother-baby pair results in uninterrupted bonding, easy initiation of breastfeeding, speedy rebalancing, and postpartum JOY.
Mother can feel her strength, her power, her motherly capability; she is fiercely protective and her general sense is:
"YES! I DID IT! I can do ANYTHING!
Ethan was born in the comfort of home which in and of itself was an amazing experience. I never thought that I could be capable of having a wonderful birth experience without an epidural in the hospital, but many doors have been opened to me in the last eight weeks. Amara Russel, an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner, introduced me to the thought of natural home birth. I decided to go for it! Amara also agreed to be my doula... It was an amazing transition for me to feel the empowerment of owning my birth and making all the decisions necessary to ensure a safe and peaceful birth experience... I felt so alive as I pushed his head and then his body out and into the world! I feel so proud of myself for taking the time to prepare myself for such an empowering birth. I know that I am a strong woman and I loved having the chance to prove it to myself. I never believed that I could do such an amazing thing. I thought that only other women could labor and bring forth babies without using pain medication. I thought it was beyond me...It was worth every minute to be able to actually feel my baby and I working together to bring him into the light of day (the sun was still shining)! In Spanish they say “dar la luz” or “dar luz” which means “to give light” rather than saying “to give birth.” I gave light to Ethan that day!

It is no measure of health
to be
well adjusted
to a profoundly sick society
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
The concept of Blissful ChildBirth is incongruent to most in this day & time. Simply, women have been led to - lied to - believe that their bodies are completely unreliable and unable to birth a healthy child successfully without medical technology.
These and other distorted & dysfunctional beliefs, attitudes, rituals, and dogma of the mainstream industry of Western medicine -
which have been systematically and successfully imprinted onto women's consciousness for over 5 generations -
have created a distorted & dysfunctional system of maternity care which does, in fact, disturb the delicate natural mechanisms of Birthing women. This in turn is successful in creating distorted & dysfunctional process which "require medical intervention" in many of the women who submit themselves, their babies, and their births to those beliefs and rituals.
For decades now, modern science has repeatedly proven that unnecessary medical interventions combined with the withholding of appropriate care result in not only poor birth outcomes, but also decreased maternal health, and increased infant mortality & morbidity.
The United States ranks 46th of all developed nations in infant mortality
Amara Russell conceived & birthed 4 bright, healthy children in her own home between 1981 & 1990 without pain or medical assistance.
She began working with childbearing women in 1995 when she acted as Doula - a labor & birth assistant - for a neighbor & friend having her first baby in a hospital setting. The Mother & Baby were completely normal & healthy, but the birth process was complicated by the "standard of care" - unnecessary procedures & disruptive interventions - and it ended in an iatrogenic cesarean section.
It was just another day at work for the doctors & nurses in the OB ward. The mother had severe postpartum PTSD and depression following the traumatic birth of her daughter; she felt depleated, depressed, inadequate, incompetent, and broken, with the scar to prove it.
This shocking experience stirred deep rememberings, and the unresolved pain & emotional scars of Amara's own traumatic birth surfaced.
Thus began a profound healing journey that will continue until every woman realizes her right to a Blissful Childbirth rooted in her
Own Divine Feminine Power.
