Womb Space is a container dedicated to bringing a greater sense of consciousness to the journey of becoming parents. My work in midwifery has shown me how for so many parents, despite all the reading, classes, apps, and practical tools that might be acquired throughout the gestational journey, many still feel ill-equipped to deal with the very real transformation that takes place as one steps over the many thresholds that the journey presents. From the initial dream of conceiving a child, there is an activation of one’s own conditioning around parenting. As an example, we may say ‘I am not going to be how my mother, or father were with me,’ and whilst that recognition is noble, and expresses a desire to parent well, most of the time, we find ourselves swimming in the same patterns that we inherited from our own family systems. 

 

We were all conceived and carried within the wombs of our mother, we all birthed ourselves into the world, and we all carry the imprints of our early experiences. These imprints live as memories in our bodies, in our direct experience. Our rational, left-brained ways of knowing are useless here, as these early experiences took place well before we developed a capacity for rational thinking. Rather, they live in our feeling, emotional sense of the world, influencing our perception of whether the world is a safe place to be. We may also call it our ‘implicit memory’. Implicit memory is not conscious, and it forms a foundational imprint upon which we continue to be ‘conditioned’ in our lives. Approximately 90% of what we think, feel, and how we act in the world, is strongly influenced by our unconscious conditioning. How we experience these sacred initiations, how we transition and how we welcome our little ones as they arrive, is the focus of this work. 

 

Womb Space work is an opportunity to explore your own imprinting (conditioning) and how it influences your perception of becoming/being a parent and your relationship to Self and the world around you. This is a type of guided self-enquiry that provides a roadmap for navigating the unconscious terrain of implicit imprinting as it shows up in the everyday world of our relationships.
