While immersed in warm water I began to remember more of who I am. It wasn't what I was intending to happen it just it. Many hours of aquatic immersion later I was able to re-member much of my own birth story back into a fluid continuum and began to see birth from a baby's perspective.
My name is Sophia Michalopoulou and today I am an aquatic perinatal therapist, a newborn and baby swimming educator as well as a pregnancy and birth baby doula.
My work in water arose through my own journey of remembering more of who I am. I have trained in and experienced many different aquatic modalities, therapeutic disciplines as well as pregnancy and birth care programmes in order to support my own awareness, with the integrity of practice this delicate work involves.
For this second series of the BIRTHING CONSCIOUS HUMANS podcast, I dedicated my attention to water and invited friends and colleagues who are dear to my heart, with whom I have experienced their therapeutic work in water or I have a personal resonance with. What we have in common is that we all work WITH WATER to support the birth of conscious human beings.
Your caring and sharing of this podcast with friends and colleagues will hopefully inspire even more responses and contributions to the growing field of conscious birth and our evolving capacities as conscious human beings and an awareness of the value of water in raising our conscious awareness of ourselves.
Your financial support would be greatly appreciated in allowing me to dive deeper into this field of research and would contribute towards the creation of a purpose-built container of water to support life in.
