“When we centre the well-being of the Mothers-we are also centering the well-being of the children; our future generations.”
Supporting my sister in labour at her birth.
Clara has always had a fascination with all things birth. With her recent training with Innate Traditions (Rachelle Garcia Seliga) in postpartum care, she responded to an inner calling and created “Songwomb”, a place that offers pre and postpartum care to women and families. With her background in sound healing therapy, Clara combines sound with bodywork practices and ceremonies such as “Closing of the Bones” and “yoni steaming” to deepen the healing experience for recovery and wellbeing post birth. Being a song medicine woman Clara allows the womb and pelvic bowl to be the guiding energy for the session allowing her to feel and hear the inner healing song . By honouring the physiological and energetic integrity of this centre, women are able to feel supported at their very root, holding the capacity and confidence to feel strong and well in meeting the demands of motherhood and family life.

After the expansion and opening of the women’s body that happens to accommodate the growing baby , this practice is used to assist the body to come back to centre . It helps with informing the Energy Field, soft tissues fascia and bones it’s time to come back to one’s centre. Traditionally body work was given everyday to the new mother’s body , so she would recover and emerge from her postpartum resting strong and vibrant.
