What if the birth trauma you've been carrying isn't just from this lifetime?

This is the first time I'm publicly sharing my birth story. After holding onto the emotions from my birth with Rui for 3.5 years,what was meant to be a planned home birth that turned into an emergency category 1 caesarean (a situation that was life threatening to both Rui and myself), the universe kept putting Shari Lyon in my path... and when I finally surrendered to doing the work with her, what we uncovered changed everything.

I’ve never been able to openly talk about that day without crying and truthfully, I’ve been terrified of having a second baby. The shame, guilt, sadness, fear and grief has consumed me.

But in this deeply vulnerable and transformative episode, I sit down with Shari Lyon... a leading coach, educator, and advocate for women through conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Through Timeline Therapy and the Emotional Change Technique (ECT), Shari helped me heal at the deepest root cause level... and thanks to her work, the anxiety surrounding birth has not only been released but deeply healed, and I can now see the total perfection in the turn of events that took place.

In this episode, we dive into:

→ Why even the most prepared women can experience birth trauma
→ The gap in traditional Hypnobirthing education
→ How Timeline Therapy works to heal emotional root causes
→ My experience being taken back to a past life during one of our sessions
→ Why your baby might be guiding you to do this healing work
→ How generational patterns can be passed down to our children in the womb
→ How to become the circuit breaker for ancestral trauma
→ The emotional "strings" we carry throughout our lifetime
→ Why healing before conception creates a clearer channel for your spirit baby
