Birth Alchemy Pregnancy Circle
Birth is a threshold.
It unmakes you, and creates you anew.
Birth Alchemy is a small, facilitated pregnancy circle for women who want to meet that transformation consciously.
It is not a childbirth class.
It is not clinical care.
It is not about techniques.
It is a steady space to explore the inner shifts of pregnancy and prepare for birth as a rite of passage into motherhood.
What is Birth Alchemy?
Pregnancy changes more than the body.
Birth Alchemy moves through pregnancy and into early motherhood as a lived rite of passage, following the natural rhythm of being called toward change, experiencing unravelling, standing in uncertainty, meeting inner challenges, and gradually reclaiming authority before returning with something integrated and embodied.
Rather than offering answers or instruction, each circle provides a steady container in which women can notice what is shifting, listen to their own responses, and prepare for birth in a way that feels personally meaningful.
We sit in circle.
We reflect.
We write.
We speak.
We listen.
No performance.
No fixing.
No pressure.
The Six Rotating Themes
Each month explores one of these themes. You may attend a single circle or move through all six over time.
There is no ‘right’ place to start.
The Call
Meeting the Inner Mother
A turning toward the emerging maternal self during pregnancy, where early images, instincts, and questions about mothering are gently brought into awareness.
The Unravelling
Breaking and Rebuilding
A space to notice what is loosening or falling away as pregnancy reshapes identity, expectations, and previously held ways of being.
The Threshold
The In Between
An exploration of all the liminal spaces you meet in pregnancy, birth and new motherhood. where you are no longer who you were, and not yet who you are becoming.
Facing the Gatekeepers
Meeting Fear and Resistance
An opportunity to meet fears, doubts, and protective patterns with curiosity, understanding how they arise and what they are asking for.
Claiming Inner Authority
Power, Choice, Trust
A turning toward the emerging maternal self during pregnancy, where early images, instincts, and questions about mothering are gently brought into awareness.
The Return Home
Integration After Birth
A turning toward the emerging maternal self during pregnancy, where early images, instincts, and questions about mothering are gently brought into awareness.
