For the 4th episode of the BIRTHING CONSCIOUS HUMANS - WITH WATER podcast aquatic perinatal therapist and birth doula Sophia Michalopoulou is in a dynamic conversation with Zara Peasland from the United Kingdom, whose Aqua Spiralis "womb room" was one of Sophia's inspirations for visiting the UK a few years ago.
As well as being an international baby swimming tutor, Zara is an Aquatic Reflex Integration & Movement Therapist and Tutor who explores conception, birth and early years in water to help babies and adults overcome physical and emotional challenges.
Zara was one of the first baby swimming instructors to train in the recall of a baby's birth story as a therapist and to start an active conversation and training programme about it for the parents and teachers in her swim school.
In this BIRTHING CONSCIOUS HUMANS - WITH WATER podcast episode we explore themes such as:
- Observing movement patterns and layers of a baby's birth story
- Creating new paradigms in baby swimming classes
- Encouraging parents to connect with themselves
- Inviting a conversation with baby and facilitating communication with their parent
- The practicalities of connection, the environment, the nurturing as well as the space and time needed for a child to cycle through
