Myth Mending for Midwives: clearing the birth space

To aspiring healers who are called to attend childbirth, I advise the following: first, midwife, heal thyself. ~ Jeannine Parvati Baker

You believe in not-intervening in birth, but sometimes you find yourself slipping into an inner panic without warning. You manage to keep your cool, but deep down you wonder how it affects the birth space. It’s that secret fear that flushes through you despite all the information and experience you get. It’s the conflict or pattern in your practice that you just can’t quite breakthrough.

Maybe you want to leave that bulb syringe at home, but keep packing it “just in case,” or maybe it’s the pitocin you drag in and out of the fridge even though you know other magic.

Maybe you feel relatively free, but just can’t shake that one birth where…… Whatever it is, it can be released, re-imprinted, and integrated… and you can be free to be in the moment.

Myth Mending is an innovative and efficient process of trauma resolution, curative story, lineage repair, and nervous system re-imprinting. It takes place within a simple conversation carefully slowed, tracked, repaired and integrated. Based on the work of Hippocrates, Plato, Jung, Peter Levine, Rudolf Steiner, Bert Hellinger and others, Myth mending is gentle, efficient and enjoyable.

Myth Mending is an amazing tool for preventing and healing trauma by increasing nervous system resilience, processing & integrating experience, and resolving personal trauma history including birth trauma. 

Since the release of adrenaline is highly contagious, the main preoccupation of an authentic midwife, after the paradigm shift, will be to maintain her own level of adrenaline as low as possible when she is close to a labouring woman. Midwives of the future will also need to train themselves to remain silent, since language is the most powerful stimulant of the neocortex. The silent knitting session will be a necessary step towards an understanding of what authentic midwifery is. We present it as the symbol of a vital new phase in the history of childbirth and midwifery. –Michel Odent

Here’s what one midwife said:

Being able to talk to someone who really understood the struggles that come as you move through the midwifery journey was extremely helpful. Also having someone who was unbiased and non judgmental regarding experience etc. was heart warming. I had a good understanding of Somatic Experiencing prior to our first sessions and I was quite sure that I didn’t have any trauma that was affecting my midwifery journey but was open to see where things led me. I was surprised with how much trauma I still had stored and how it was affecting me moving on in my practice. Everything is so tied to together you really need to feel whole, complete, and at peace before you make any mojor decisions that might affect others. I have been able to clarify where I stand regarding sitting for the NARM exam, feelings about licensure, midwifery partnerships and much more. I have established myself as an independent midwife while still upholding good relationships with my preceptors. This has been crucial to my development. I feel like midwives as a whole seem to struggle more with their journey and role in life not to mention processing their own births or births they attend. All of this affects our clients and our families. Feeling peace and clarity in a situation helps you feel like you can mount any obstacles before you. Krista was wonderful to work with. Unjudgemental, flexible and supportive. She didn’t rush the process allowing plenty of time for me to move through my emotions and thoughts but also made sure that our time together was well worth our while and resources. It was a great experience.
