Re-Birth: A beautiful way to heal emotional scars when a birth doesn't go to plan!


This beautiful idea came from my customers Edita, Lisa and Xavier. It is shared with their permission in the hope that it can help others. This is their story:

Lisa was heartbroken when baby Xavier was born by c-section. But her partner Edita came up with a brilliant idea. As Xavier hadn't been welcomed into the world as planned she would welcome them home into the birth environment they wanted. 
So before setting off to the hospital to collect Lisa and baby Xavier, she placed tea lights around the room, inflated the birthing pool, filled it with water and added a few petals and essentials oils. 
Lisa loved the surprise and got straight into the birthing pool with baby Xavier. She said she found the experience very healing.

There is very little on the Internet about rebirth ceremonies but I did manage to find these photos by Spring Photography.
