In the journey of parenthood, the experience of birth is both profoundly physical and deeply spiritual. As a doula, I've had the privilege of supporting pregnant people through these transformative moments. I’m continually inspired by the wisdom shared by practitioners like Tami, and our conversations have shed light on the intricate connection between the physical and energetic aspects of birth. Today, I want to emphasize the importance of holistic approaches for mothers.


The Dual Journey of Healing

Through her extensive work with women at key transformational points—whether it be birth, miscarriage, infertility, or birth trauma—Tami offers a unique perspective on the needs of women during these times. Holding women post-miscarriage or post-birth loss, she addresses not just the physical aftermath but also nurtures the emotional and spiritual healing that is so often overlooked by traditional medical systems.


The Womb as a Portal

One of Tami's profound insights is viewing the womb as a portal—not just for birthing life but as an access point for creative and healing energy. This ancient wisdom acknowledges that women can receive guidance and information through their womb space, influencing their lives far beyond fertility and parenthood.


Protecting the Birth Field

The concept of the birth field is central to Tami's practice. She describes the birth process as an energetic event where the womb portal opens, allowing the soul to come through. This sacred opening needs protection and understanding. However, when birth experiences are traumatic or when mothers feel stressed and unsupported, the birth field can become disrupted, leading to lingering negative imprints.


Birth Trauma and Repair

When birth experiences do not go as planned, the birth field can feel incomplete, leaving mothers feeling unsettled. Tami works with women to repair their birth fields, using meditative processes, visualization, and breath work to move out interfering energies and restore the energetic tapestry. This practice helps women reclaim the sacredness of their birthing experience, providing them with peace and a sense of completion.


By integrating these holistic practices, we can support parents in a way that honors the profound connection between their physical and energetic selves. Through this journey, we empower them to embrace their experiences fully, heal deeply, and step into their roles as parents with confidence and grace.


In the world of childbirth and maternal care, embracing a holistic approach that acknowledges both physical and energetic healing can profoundly impact a woman's experience and recovery. By honoring the wisdom of practitioners like Tami and integrating these practices into our support for mothers, we can create a more nurturing, healing, and empowering journey for every woman who embarks on the path of parenthood.
