In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Kerry Ann, a Closing of the Bones Practitioner who uses hands-on body work and rebozo massage to focus on women’s healing and well-being.
In this episode Kerry discusses how it is important to support women through healing trauma and through life transitions such as giving birth. During this conversation Debbie and Kerry share their birthing experiences, talking about the importance of connecting with our bodies and having a community for support.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It is important to have support through times of transition in our lives.
- More support is required for individuals who have suffered birth trauma.
- In other cultures, more care and support is given post-childbirth.
- We hold trauma in different parts of the body.
- Alternative therapies can help to support individuals during life transitions.
- Community is important for healing and well-being.
BEST MOMENTS
- “ After I had my babies, I was called to do something with postpartum care because that's my wounded healer.”
- ”So, in China, you're supposed to lay down, aren't you? For 40 days? You're supposed to be looked after for 40 days and in China, they stay in their mother or their mother-in-law's house and get fed and watered and looked after, right? And the whole idea of being in somebody else's house is so that you don't see your own mess.”
- “ I think because my, when I first became a mother, I was just on my own. I felt like I needed mothering. And so, from that then I feel like I want to do that for other people, in their time of need, whether it be postpartum or whether it be in a transition or after some kind of trauma.”
- ”But martyrdoms a real thing, you know, crack on. And the women put themselves to the bottom of the pile. And that's societal as well as learnt from the family.”
- “ If we all live together how we should in community, then we'd be looking after each other's babies. We would be feeding each other, you know, we would all be helping each other. So the weight would be less. We wouldn't be holding all, or we wouldn't be holding the whole family on our own shoulders.”
