Episode 10. Birth and Birthing; Now vs Then ~ Homebirth Australia Conference Presentation
In this episode I’m bringing you the full presentation I shared at the Homebirth Australia Conference in Adelaide on Nov 9 2025. It's a deep dive into what I have witnessed in more than three decades of working with bodies, movement and birth.
We explore why birth itself has not changed, yet our bodies absolutely have. I walk you through the way our ancestors lived and moved, how our modern lifestyle shapes the pregnant body, and why these shifts affect labour, positioning, and the entire physiology of birth.
You will hear the stories, the insights, the frustrations and the fierce clarity that have shaped my work as an Aligned and supportive birthworker and bodyworker. You will learn how tension patterns form, why alignment matters, how fascia responds to life, and how breathwork and movement can shift everything for the women and families you support.
This episode is part history lesson, part anatomy lesson, part embodiment practice, always truth telling and fully devoted to bringing birth back into the hands and wisdom of women.
Settle in, breathe with me, and let your own awareness awaken as you listen.
