Natural Birth and Motherhood as Initiation with Sofia Abramian

Sofia Abramian is an enchanting Mother, Doula and women’s facilitator, who calls for a shift in consciousness around womens' self worth and natural birth, reminding us all that ‘our bodies are a measure of the universe’ and that we have the wisdom, strength and innate ability to celebrate womanhood, birth and motherhood as a deeply central, spiritual aspect of the human experience, reviving the icon of the fertility goddess, mother and life giver. We need more doulas like Sofia to remind us that birth matters and that the more we know about our bodies, the more we realise how perfect we are - like Earth herself.
