dolphin assisted birth
Here on breath-taking Hawaii we have the immense blessing of swimming with the dolphins who play, rest and birth in the bays close by. At any time in life, and especially during pregnancy and labor, swimming with the dolphins is one of the most healing and profound experiences of a lifetime. Being in the ocean with the dolphins brings a deep, heart-centering peace and bliss. Each person has a unique healing and message to receive from the dolphins. Their pure playfulness and beauty inspires and sparks the spirit!
Your unborn baby also experiences these positive feelings which offer many healthy benefits through out his or her birth and life.
Dolphin-Assisted Birth: In a dolphin-assisted birth pregnant mothers experience an abundance of joyous and peaceful prenatal and early labor contact with the wild Hawaiian Spinner dolphins. The dolphins’ sonar heals and balances mama’s and baby’s cells, DNA, spirit and soul. These benefits, coupled with the enjoyable exercise during swims and the relaxing buoyancy of the healing ocean, creates a unique and amazing experience. We intentionally bring the dolphins' energy and joy into the birth room embracing the birthing mother with strength, joy and relaxation. The mother's strength of spirit and body achieved with the support of the dolphins provides power and serenity in the birth process. The birth itself occurs in the warmth, safety & privacy of your own home, often in a big birthing tub of warm water.
Dolphins have been known to be attracted to pregnant women and may detect that a woman is pregnant by using echolocation.
As a mermaid midwife I am always in blissful awe when I observe and witness cetacean mothers and babies in the sea. I’ve watched many baby dolphins nursing and swimming close to their mamas and my heart leaps with joy as they jump happily out of the water with their tiny dolphin bodies. I witness mama whales holding their newborn babies on their noses and backs to help them breathe. One wise message I receive from the cetaceans is ”we are all mammals and just as whales and dolphins grow, birth & nurse their babies in peace and health, so can humans. All we have to do is allow our bodies to do what they inherently know how to do, birth in privacy, trust & love, while choosing an optimally healthy diet & lifestyle.” My greatest hope and prayer is that more and more families will take this wisdom and apply it to their lives as we take back our births, bringing to light the knowledge that birth is the most powerful and blissful experience ever to have, not something to be feared, drugged or dreaded.
