Can you explain what it means to be a Spirit Baby Intuitive and how you incorporate this approach into your work as a Holistic Pregnancy Guide?
Spirit Baby Communication is the art and practice of communicating with your unborn child or children, preconception through postpartum. Spirit Babies are souls that have much to teach and share with us. Including who they are, why they’re coming, how to best prepare for them, and what potential struggles might accompany the journey, for the mother or the family. In this, they often provide solutions, advice, or information that can help smooth things out, or help us understand how everyone can best be supported.
Being a Spirit Baby Intuitive actually helps me a lot as a Holistic Pregnancy Guide because with this gift, I can walk into a birth room or I can put my hands on a woman’s belly and just ask the baby what it is that they need and the baby will show me. At times, I’ll walk into a birth room and I’ll be spoken to by either the baby or from some of the guides present. They’ll often let me know something like – “This mom is going to hemorrhage significantly after giving birth, this is what’s going to happen, this is why it’s happening on a soul & lineage level, and this is what we want you to do”. Then when the mother begins hemorrhaging, I invite her to lock into my nervous system with eye contact and slow, deep, reassuring breaths, the way I’ve been instructed. In this particular instance, for this reason, the mother didn’t end up needing a blood transfusion, & to everyone’s surprise, especially the Dr’s, the mother recovered beautifully, as if her post delivery bleeding was “normal”.
For me, the art of Spirit Baby Communication is really just a conversation in consciousness which helps us to understand that there are many realms in which we’re expressing ourselves. When you can tactfully and audibly communicate beyond your conscious awareness, then you can begin to see things from different fractals of the diamond or viewpoints. As you build trust with creation and are able to integrate all of the information perceived as a medium or bridge, which often comes in the form of co-existing contradicting truths, you are then able to bring forward incredible miracles. Such as for those who are preconception and struggling to conceive or dealing with infertility. Especially as the treatments advised or provided require a lot of resources/energy and come with no guarantee. Spirit Baby Communication simply has a unique way of assisting people to carry a wider awareness in relation to their fertility struggles, pregnancies, birth experiences, and/or the integration of their childbearing journeys at large. It’s truly phenomenal.
How do you support expectant parents in connecting with their Spirit Babies and understanding their unique needs and desires?
A lot of the time I offer 1:1 Readings – in this circumstance I am the one connecting to the Spirit Baby or Babies as the medium. The messages mostly translate through what I refer to as Spiritual
Principles. In this I help people understand what I’m hearing or being shown and what is most important to focus on moving forward, such as, what people may need to forgive or heal. It’s super intriguing; as it’s not always linear. It could even be something from childhood or an abortion someone had when they were 18, and now they’re 42. Spirit Babies tend to point toward certain scenarios or circumstances that have yet to be completed; meaning the spiritual lessons involved that have yet to be activated; thus the Wheel of Life (so to speak) becomes jammed or stuck and struggles to rotate. The Spiritual Principles explored then become someone’s Spiritual Homework and I ask people to apply the principles to their lives & reflect on them in their day to day, as self-lovingly as possible. This said, some Spirit Babies are extremely articulate right away and share openly that they would like to be born in October, conceived in July, &/or after the transition of a living ancestor for example. However, for most people, timelines & specifics tend to surface after their Spiritual Homework has been taken to heart.
What’s also true is that whenever we’re extending our families or furthering our lineages, even when having a second or third child, a unique constellation of souls gather together in the higher realms to formalize the contract. When the contract remains unfinished for whatever reason, such as some disagreements with the fine print, this can manifest as complications or fertility struggles as well.
I find it remarkable too that sometimes the deepest healings and transformations occur just from naming the dynamic tension present and having it witnessed by a unique level of consciousness that’s ultimately resting in a state of love. Thus providing people with a special kind of permission that says, for example, “you can both grieve the loss of your stillborn child and welcome the soul who is ready to join you earthside”.
What type of services do you offer?
As previously mentioned, I offer 1:1 Readings, as well as Online Courses. I have one running LIVE now, called SBC Foundations, but this Course is always available in a recorded format too!
In it, we explore things like the anatomy of soul contracts, the 4 most common karmic glues that bring various souls and families together, and the 4 most common forms of Spirit Baby Communication. Essentially in the Course, I break down for people, to a degree, how I do what I do and what the Foundational Spiritual Principles are that I work with, as these principles tend to translate into energetic patterns. For example, if you understand the karmic glue that is bringing two souls together to experience life as mother and daughter, this has a way of informing the associated spiritual principles and homework involved. And by Karma – I don’t mean something purely negative that happened between souls in the past, but rather the driving force, light, &/or soul lessons that essentially attract you to one another.
SBC Foundations is the building block for another Course I offer called, SBC Techniques; where we explore even deeper Spiritual Principles as well as the application of them. These two Courses combined act as the prerequisites for my Practitioner Training, which I run every couple of years for a much smaller and more intimate circle of students, who wish to offer Spirit Baby Readings themselves. It’s so much fun!
How did you discover your talent and gift for being a Spirit Baby Intuitive?
I was 20 years old when I gave birth to a son and long story short, the birth was spectacular. I had never experienced anything like it. It was a remarkable Enlightenment experience. I started out in so much pain and had so much fear, but in the middle of the process, I asked to be left alone. I went into the shower and began to pray. As I was praying, I entered a hypnotic state, and it was very beautiful because it wasn’t an up and out of my body experience, it was actually a going deeper and deeper into the sanctuary of my body kind of experience. As I settled in, my consciousness was brought into this blissful space. All of a sudden, I looked down and saw that my belly was still contracting, but I had no more pain. All of the pain completely dissolved, and I was suspended in oneness; it was beyond gorgeous. I realized that I was resting and in this began to do healing work on people that I loved and knew. They would show me things that they were dealing with such as arthritis or relationship problems with their father. I could then “see” the energetic patterns, and what type of healing, medicine, or spiritual homework could help them heal.
I did that for about 45 minutes and then began to crown & deliver the baby. It was a 4-hour labor in total. Everything happened so quickly as I was only two centimeters dilated before I asked to be left alone and the midwife had been prepping my husband for a long birth. Too funny. As I was delivering though, a bright light exploded in my brain and a male voice said to me, booming in my right ear, “you know this in your bones”. Then my son’s head came out and it was very interesting. On the next contraction, his shoulders and chest were birthed, but then he paused right at the navel. So my husband held the top half of his body and the lower half was still inside of me. This was so surreal. I even reached back to hold his little hand and on the next contraction he was born. It was life changing.
Twelve or so years later, as I was leading a group of women through Egypt on a Spiritual Pilgrimage we stood together in Kom Ombo (a Temple of Healing and a sacred place for unifying duality) & there was a hieroglyphic scene of a woman giving birth in which the child was half in & half out. It took my breath away. One of the Egyptologists present decoded the sequence & shared with us that this meant “the golden part of you will be born in this life”. This was quite a full circle moment.
Years prior however, I was on a plane and I inhaled the book “Spirit Babies: How to Communicate with the Child You’re Meant to Have” by Walter Makichen. I was on my way to teach a workshop,”Pregnancy: Journey of Transformation”. As I stood on stage to present my talk, an angelic presence came out of the sky, really this sphere of light, and proceeded to enter my body. It took over my nervous system, spoke through me, and announced that I was going to be teaching a workshop on Spirit Baby Communication. I was shocked and ran off stage. After pulling myself together, I intuitively taught the workshop and loved it. That night, Walter, the author of the book, came to me in a dream and said “This is what you did well, this here is the evolution of the work, this is what I want you to improve on, etc.” and really just gave me the whole rundown. The next morning when I woke up, 3 of the people who took my workshop wanted private readings and I’ve just never looked back.
What is your greatest advice for having a harmonious childbearing journey?
You know, it’s interesting because I refer to the Childbearing Journey as a dance with the portal of creation, which happens to come with a revolving door. The way that we are born and the way that we die are not as separate as we may think, and it’s also not so different from the way that we live. In life there are challenges, there are surprises, there are also beautiful, magical, & miraculous things that occur. My greatest advice to having a harmonious experience is to TRUST the process. Place your focal point somewhere soft and receptive and then do everything you can to accept the journey exactly as it unfolds; trust every crevice of it, every ounce of it, and keep taking the best next step forward.
But… never forget to look inside of your own heart or your own body for the answers, because, as much as I can say (crazily enough with everything I’ve seen), that I appreciate the Western Medical Model, there’s a lot that we’ve forgotten. So to have the most harmonious experience, you have to remember that deep down you Do Know how to navigate. It can be extra hard when you’ve experienced loss, struggle or challenge, but I find that because birth is so big, the Angels have a way of showing up and they really do want to help us, as do our guides, guardians, and gatekeepers.
Sometimes we get so busy in our minds that we forget about this kind of support, especially when we get scared & become fear based. An inner inquiry that helped me when I was pregnant and afraid is this, “there has to be something more than pain and fear for me to experience here. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know how I’m going to get there, but there has to be something more”. This kind of innocence and curiosity has a way of opening up worlds within worlds~
