Liberate your perception of pregnancy and birth. A 5 step framework to empower you physically, emot
This week I have a very special guest for you, my own Midwife that was with me at the birth of Bodhi. In this episode we chat about birthing experiences and in particular the narrative that they have to be challenging... that is not my personal experience! Birth can be a totally uplifting, amazing and positive experience... Pregnant Mama's this ones for you.
In this episode you'll also hear about:
- how you can intentionally transform the sights, sounds and smells of a hospital setting to suit your individual needs
- what seeing birth as transcendence does for your mindset and personal experience
- why it's important to be educated around intervention and induction before birth and know what your choices are
- the role our subconscious stress response plays during contractions especially
- why it is so important to normalise birth as a natural experience and move away from seeing it as a medicalised procedure
Can you think of a better reason? 😍😂
Can you spot it Mamas?
The breastfeeding child with the hand on the opposite b**b! 🙈😂😂
“The moments, hours, days and weeks after a natural birth reminded me how truly amazing we are as women.
The elation and pride I felt in my body is a high that I had never experienced before.”
Yes, this was my experience (3 times 🙏) and for the past 15 years I have loved nothing more than supporting women throughout pregnancy and birth so they can experience it for themselves.
There really is nothing quite like it!
I will always cherish these pics of me holding my Newborn Babies in my arms. (This was me with Bodhi)
Ps. I did not labour on a bed. I went nowhere near a bed for all 3 births.
Until I was delivering placenta and feeding my bubs for the first time.
Such a magical moment and now magic memories.
Now it’s your turn! ❤️😘
Are you looking forward to birth?
Birth doesn’t require you to LEARN
Birth requires you to LET GO
The TRUST INITIATIVE VIRTUAL PROGRAM not only prepares you physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically for pregnancy and birth with transformational tools and tips but also has an ever growing Movement Library filled with opportunities to nourish your body.
From focus and form to free and flowing, I bet you can guess which category this one fits in to!😉😂
How do you feel moving in a feminine, graceful way?
Can you let go and free yourself from inhibition, comparison or judgement?
If you find it challenging this routine is a great place to start.
Get the body moving so you can EMBODY what it is you want to feel in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

I’d love to hear from you.

Making women aware of the subconscious clutching and clenching they are doing within their pelvis is by far the most transformational thing I do with my clients.
It’s such a common stress response but most have no idea they are even doing it because we are so accustomed to existing in a stress state, not to mention main stream exercise cues always telling us to “imprint” or flatten your lower back into the floor. 🙈
I describe it as having the “gate shut” and that is not what we want when giving birth.
I’m here to give you the key to “unlock the gate” and set yourself free to enjoy a natural, positive and empowered birth.
When we consider that birth is a completely natural physiological experience (just like doing a poo) it’s crazy that we are so terrified of it!
Can you imagine forcing a poo before you even need to do one? 😬
Can you imagine trying to hold the poo in because you are so scared of it coming out?
🙈😮💨
Your body isn’t scared of birth.✨❤️
If you are scared of a natural birth it’s because of conditioning, external opinions and maybe even past experience.
You have the power and choice to free yourself from all of that and return to pure TRUST.
Are you going to allow external influences to prevent your body from doing what it knows how?
You TRUST your body to grow your baby during pregnancy.
So I ask you why don’t you TRUST your body to deliver your baby safely into your arms?
THE TRUST INITIATIVE virtual course can help you overcome any unnecessary fear regarding birth and regain wholehearted Trust in your Body.

Welcome ❤️
A BABY PODCAST is LIVE for any Baby Mama’s out there!
In this 3rd foundational Podcast episode I begin the discussion of why I love Pregnancy and Childbirth so much.
I was actually terrified of Childbirth growing up but I shouldn’t have wasted so much time worrying as I discovered that our Bodies are more than capable of delivering our babies safely into our arms. We just need to Trust them and stop getting in their way so much.
I share stories about my birth experiences and how I declared mid labour that I was going to write a book which will be released this year. (13 years later)
Enjoy this solo candid, casual conversation that will give you a little more insight into my passion of Pregnancy and Childbirth and hopefully a little inspiration that you too have the power to experience a positive, natural and empowered Birth.

What a beautiful morning spent with this blossoming beautiful mama.🙏
We checked in with her awareness, mindset and energetic connection to her ideal birth experience.
She was already positive and in her power and now with a few tweaks and added tools she is even more ready to embrace and embody her ideal birth experience.
She is TRUST.
She is PATIENT
She is ready to confidently surrender and allow her body to lead the way as she enjoys a spontaneous, safe, natural and empowering birth.
🙏❤️

When Bodhi was born she jumped straight onto my b**b and starting feeding …….
whilst snorting like a little pig 😂😂
She honestly sounded like pig and Jase and I found it hysterical, the hospital didn’t though they were very concerned and sent for a specialist to check her out.
I knew she was just hungry and the concern that the doctors had didn’t bother me at all.
I don’t think I would have been as calm if it had have happened when I had Malachi my first baby though.
I would have got carried away with the external worry rather than listen to my own inner knowing and TRUST.
It turns out Bodhi was completely fine and the little piggy was just hungry. 😂🐷
Once she was happily fed the snorting stopped and we got to head on home as a family of 5. ❤️
Breastfeeding week….
What a gift to have breastfed 3 beautiful babies.❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t follow any guidelines and had no routines but I loved every second of it and my kids all turned out more than fine.🥰
Many ask me where Malachi gets his height from and I’ve wondered lately if it was because of the 2 and a half years of constant B***y Juice.😉😂
I’ll never forget one day he was just a few weeks old and he literally stayed on my b**bs all day.
I was at my sisters house, it was Good Friday, it was pouring rain and I just sat on her couch for about 10 hours straight soaking in this little miracle I had created.
I know there is so much advice and guidance out there these days but if I can offer anything it’s to TRUST what feels right for you and try not to to over complicate this natural process by taking on too much info and placing expectations on yourself.
Big love to you all.
Oh and swipe left for my home made breastfeeding dress.😍😂😂
I just shared this over on my page and yes people LOVE IT but what I just realised was that it is the same for our body too.
If we reword it to
I had to make you uncomfortable otherwise you wouldn’t have moved - the body
It perfectly supports what I say in my Birth Program
There is always a shape or movement that will allow your discomfort to ease throughout labour.
You just have to be uninhibited enough to allow yourself to find it!
You don’t need to learn how to give birth.
You just need to be connected to your body, be willing to surrender and TRUST that your body knows exactly what to do.
But can you TRUST someone you don’t know?
It’s hard.
That’s why Birth can seem so scary to many.
Our body has become a stranger to us and it’s hard to surrender to a stranger.
Our body is always trying to communicate with us but maybe we have been ignoring it?
It’s time to listen.
To honour and respect what it has to say
To reunite with it’s wisdom and strength
To acknowledge how capable and independent it is.
It’s time to become friends with our body’s again and I’m here to help you.

As I’ve progressed through writing my book TRUST yourself Mama I’ve noticed it’s more of a self development book and it makes sense really.
We don’t need to LEARN how to give birth.
Birth just asks us to surrender.
Our body just wants us to let them lead the way.
Birth is not about doing but rather about allowing and that is what we have disconnected from in this modern day world.
My book invites you to reconnect to your body, to release inhibitions, comparison and time frames.
To become comfortable in intuitive movement, allowing your body to guide you and Surrender.
Of course there’s plenty about pregnancy and birth too .......
Looking forward to sharing it with you all

This is YOUR experience.
Stand in your power from the very beginning and prevent unnecessary intervention from others.
Hey there ❤️
Sarah here creator of The TRUST initiative for pregnancy and birth and this is my fam and the inspiration behind by upcoming book and the work I have been doing with pregnant woman for the past 15 years.
It was mid labour with Zanna (my second birth) that I was observing how much my senses were affecting my contractions......
“Jase grab me a pen and paper, takes notes. I’m going to write a book”
The was my demand mid labour and here I am 12 years later.
During Bodhi’s birth (my third) my midwife was curious about what was so funny?
Jase and I were laughing at the fact I was exploring different pelvic positions and doing “research” for my pregnancy clients whilst in my own labour.🙈😂😂
I adore pregnancy, I love birth and I’m here to remind as many woman as possible to TRUST.
Our bodies are amazing and wise they know exactly what to do.
Pregnancy Mind Body Discovery sessions are available in person or via Zoom.
The Trust Initiative online program nearly LIVE
and my book
TRUST yourself Mama releases this year.
Flashback to some Beautiful Babymamas at our Sacred Space
The Loft by Sarah Adele

Doulas are a beautiful support for birth but you don’t “need” one.
You can “choose” to have one.
Can you feel the difference between both statements?
Which energy are you going to choose?
The one of lack?
Or
The one of empowerment?
The more we can do to prevent expectation or comparison in the birthing suite the better.
When we consider how much our emotions influence our physical body why would we set ourselves up for unnecessary anticipation or disappointment?
If you had been labouring for hours and then found out you were only 1cm dilated how would you feel?
Deflated, worried......
Every woman and birth is different so we want to ensure we don’t place unnecessary comparison or expectation on our own birth experience.
You could be 1cm but then progress really quickly.
You just don’t know but we want to do all we can to prevent any disappointment as our body will respond accordingly.
How dilated I was during birth was irrelevant to me.
I was taking it all moment by moment breath by breath.
My midwives knew ( they must have quickly looked while I was in my zone dancing with Jase or floating in the bath) but I was adamant that I did not want to know.
I laboured freely and easily without the weight of “how far along I was” holding me back.
It all happened as it should and my body told me when I was ready to push I didn’t need to be told.
How does that make you feel to not know your dilation progression during birth?
Do you think it is something you really need to know?
Take your time....
You don’t need to react right now.
You can respond tomorrow.
.....
FULL MOON reflection....
I am free from any illusions of suppression.
I let go of belief systems that no longer serve.
What I have discovered in the 15 years of teaching movement is that people are clutching their pelvis into a protective shape without realising.
It's a reflection of their subconscious stress and a muscle called the psoas is contracting to either help them fight or take flight.
You see our mind doesn't know the difference between an actual life threatening situation or being stressed because of work and responds accordingly.
Women think they’re relaxed but they’re anything but.
If we don't learn how to release this subconscious response before childbirth its like we are trying to give birth with the gate locked.
I'm here to give you the key.
Get in touch for more info ❤️
Sarah 😍
When I have pregnancy clients tell me they have been doing prenatal yoga or Pilates it doesn't necessarily mean they are connected to their body or prepared for birth.
You can exercise whilst disconnected, just going through the motions and skimming the surface of Mind Body connection and awareness.
Exercise does not equal awareness!
Birth requires connection to your body.
Birth requires awareness of your body.
It doesn’t need you to learn it needs you to remember.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF.....
Do you really know your body?
Are you listening to what it's trying to tell you or have you been busy telling it what to do?
There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE.
If you're not quite sure what that is a MIND BODY Discovery (for Pregnancy and Birth) is the first step.

Over 15 years of supporting women through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
More information is available to us but that’s more information we really don’t need to know.
Our bodies know what to do.
They don’t need us to tell them.
Do you TRUST your body to do what it knows how?
A pregnancy client recently had a massive breakthrough!
She realised that her first labour experience hadn’t been taken from her control.
She previously thought it had been but looking back she realised she had been given plenty of opportunity to labour independently but she just didn’t know what to do?
Think about a small child.
If they are happy playing independently you wouldn’t feel the need to go on over and help them.
If you see them looking lost and unsure you would feel the urge to do something.
There is a big movement at the moment about the increase in inductions and birth intervention and I definitely agree it’s something we need to change but I also believe it’s not all the medical professionals fault.
Many pregnant women I meet are completely overloaded with information and know so much about the development of the baby and the ins and outs of pregnancy and birth.
They have filled their buckets with knowledge without realising that their TRUST has overflowed out the sides and drained away.
✨They know so much but have forgotten how to be.
✨They know how to exercise but have forgotten what intuitive movement feels like.
✨They have been so busy telling their bodies what to do they have lost touch with what it feels like to listen to what our bodies need.
Our Bodies are Amazing and Wise they know exactly what to do.
If you are a pregnant woman and would like a little guidance remembering that get in touch for a Pregnancy MIND BODY Discovery.
I’d love to hear from you.
