In today’s episode of The Women’s Vibrancy Code, Maraya welcomes special guest Elena Tonetti, legendary Spiritual Midwife and founder of Birth Into Being. How can we as women prepare for pregnancy and birth? How do we know when we’re ready – and how can we help make ourselves ready? The body is an amazing thing, storing memories within itself that we don’t even consciously know are there. From the good (the innate memory of birth) to the bad (trauma), how we store and access those inner memories plays a huge role in having a positive pregnancy and birth. In today’s episode, we take a deep, deep dive into birth and the body. Elena shares her wisdom on the body’s (and mind’s) readiness for the birthing process, how not just trauma, but also hormone production affects the birthing process, the importance of pleasure, understanding free will, exploring the generational wonder of childbirth and how it creates imprints from mother to daughter and so on, and so much more.
