  • Birth Magic: Hugo's Pain-Free, Pleasurable Freebirth with Tahnee and Mason Taylor
    Hi everyone! The Body of Wisdom podcast is back, this time for a very special episode! In this episode, I’m opening up about a journey that’s personal, raw, and life-affirming—our recent pain-free, pleasurable freebirth experience and the profound insights that came with it. Joined by my husband Mason, we’re diving into what it’s been like navigating (for the third time) pregnancy, birth, and the early days of postpartum, exploring not only the practical stuff but the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of birth, partnership, and parenthood. This episode is filled with reflections on love, growth, and the incredible capacities of the human body, oour true "body of wisdom," especially in those intense, transformative moments of birthing and nurturing life. I went into this birth with the quiet intention to experience a pain-free (possibly even pleasurable birth) and I got exactly that. It was the most beautiful, meditative, embodied experience. We also share about the conception, pregnancy and freebirth/pain-free birth prep process. Whether you’re preparing for your own birth, curious about the process of birth, or simply here for a heartwarming story, I hope this episode resonates with and supports you on your journey to fully embody your wisdom. In this episode we discuss: The Power of Inner Preparation and Birth as a Transformative Experience - Mason and I reflect on the mental, emotional, and spiritual preparation involved in birth. From introspection and letting go of preconceived notions, to reaching a state of calm and clarity, we explore how intentional preparation helped transform the birth experience into one of pleasure and immanence. Surrendering to the Process of Birth and Embracing Vulnerability - Both of us share moments of self-doubt and vulnerability, discussing how accepting fears and relinquishing control opened up space for an empowering, peaceful, pleasant birth experience. We talk about letting go of the “need to conquer” whether it's fear, or birth itself, and the process of finding ease in self-inquiry, trust, gratitude, communication, and presence. Understanding and Respecting the Partner’s Role in the Birth Space - We discuss how Mason found his role as a supportive presence—often without “doing” anything—and the delicate balance between stepping in and intruding in the 'birth magic' and holding space and bearing witness. The need for genuine, quiet presence over active assistance is highlighted as a way to honour the mother’s autonomy and experience. Birth as a Sacred Dance with Nature and Spirituality - Drawing from Taoist and yogic perspectives, we discuss the visceral, almost spiritual connection experienced in birth. The physical, emotional, and cosmic aspects intertwined, creating a unique experience akin to a spiritual awakening—one that’s grounding, powerful, and humbling. Healing, Recovery, and Early Postpartum Reflections - We share about the postpartum journey and adapting to a new family dynamic. Empowering Birth Choices and Recognising Inner Strength - This episode emphasises the strength in choosing a path that resonates personally—whether that’s freebirth, midwifery support, or hospital care. By examining our own narratives around birth, we share insights on rewriting limiting beliefs and finding empowerment in personal choices. Navigating the Integration of Family and Spiritual Growth - We close with reflections on how birth and parenting deepen spiritual growth and connection. The conversation touches on the unique spiritual and practical union of parenthood, especially in guiding each child through life with gentleness, respect, and resilience. I am so excited to share this with you, and hope our story has given you a glimpse into the beauty, messy magic of birth and parenting young kids. Whether it sparked a new perspective, a shared laugh, or a moment of self-reflection, I’m grateful to have shared this space with you. If you have any questions or just want to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am so grateful for this wise body and all it has taught me.    Referenced in this episode:  Yolande Norris Clark - Portal book and course Jane Hardwick-Collings Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy workshop and Four Seasons Journey Binnie Dansby Ecstatic Birth: The Dynamics of Creation Shelia Kamara Hay Instagram Ancestral Nutrition Primal Multi SuperFeast tonic herbs Past birth stories: Aiya's homebirth pt 1 pt 2 Leo's wild pregnancy freebirth pt 1 pt 2

    My friend and wise woman Angela (Ange) Jessup joins me on the podcast today to speak about all things holistic kinesiology. Ange and I met on the Four Season’s Journey with Jane Hardwicke Collings and The School of Shamanic Womancraft, and quickly bonded over all things babies (we both had newborns), yoga, and the multidimensional aspects of life!  Ange curates her kinesiology offerings to serve the specific needs of women, especially those in their mothering season, and more recently children, and she is a total sorceress - it was a delight to hear her speak about her work. Ange is also the mama of three little ones. In this episode: Ange explains kinesiology, emphasising its basis in Chinese medicine and 5-Element theory, how she works with the meridians and specific points, as well as muscle-testing and other multidimensional aspects of the work, such as how kinesiology is such a unqiue tool for addressing subconscious patterns, wounding and triggers How Ange works with children, both her own and in clinic, especially in terms of respecting the intution and knowing of the mother How kinesiology has assisted her on her own journey as a mother (and pre-conception - Ange was told she'd never have kids!)
