#132 - Nickita Starck On Trauma And Holistic Natural Birth Keeping

FREEDOM - LIBERTY - HAPPINESS

SUPPORT DOC MALIK

To all the guys out there. At first glance, you might think “I’ll give this one a pass”. After all, childbirth is a girl thing. This is not true. Every one of us came into the world through childbirth. I know they want to grow babies in Vats and Artificial wombs but this is the stuff of sci-fi and unlikely to ever come to fruition.

Childbirth is one of the most important events in our lives. Birth, Childbirth and Death.

An essential step in the cycle of life.

Before my wife gave birth to our beautiful kids, little did I know or appreciate what my mother had gone through. Little did I know what my wife would have to go through. A childbirth done properly is a beautiful and wholesome event with lasting positive memories. A traumatic and negative childbirth can result in lifelong psychological trauma, urinary and bowel disturbance/incontinence and sexual dysfunction to name a few.

Going back to the guys, it might be your daughter, or granddaughter that is going through childbirth in the months and years ahead. Surely you want the best for her, after hearing this podcast you may want to share it with them.

If you have a wife, perhaps you might want to talk about what their childbirth experience was like. The odds are that a significant chance exists your wife suffered some degree of trauma. I know I would want to know and offer my love, empathy and support.

And as for our mums, we can understand and appreciate what they did for us, bringing us into the world.

In this conversation, the founder of Artemis Birth Attendant Academy, Nickita Starck, discusses the importance of holistic and natural birthkeeping. They emphasize the need to heal trauma and live from authenticity in order to provide the best care for birthing individuals. The conversation also touches on the impact of trauma on collective consciousness and the power of positive thinking.

Nickita shares insights on overcoming trauma and finding one's purpose in serving others. She also discuss the challenges within the current medical system and the importance of informed consent in childbirth.

I discuss the lack of questioning and blind trust in medical advice, emphasizing the importance of empowering individuals to make informed choices. I encourage listeners to challenge the narrative and question authority, particularly in the context of healthcare.

The conversation also explores the topic of trauma in pregnancy and childbirth, highlighting the risks and consequences of medical interventions such as inductions and epidurals. The long-term effects of episiotomies and the emotional and energetic impact of birth trauma are discussed. Additionally, the normalization of birth injuries and health issues in children.

We explore the different types of trauma, including physical trauma and the trauma of having choices and freedoms taken away. Nickita delves into the concept of obstetric violence and the impact it can have on women. She also discusses the importance of birth advocacy and the need for authentic and inclusive care.

The conversation concludes with a powerful story about embracing struggle and following one's purpose.

This is an important message from Nickita

Are you tired of witnessing unnecessary birth trauma?

When was the last time you heard about an ecstatic birth experience?

The over-medicalised model of birth has made childbirth trauma common, but it's certainly not normal. If you want to serve women and not the system, there's an alternative pathway to training to become a certified birth professional.

You don't need to follow the medical narrative with strict guidelines that prevent you from practising autonomously.

Train with "When Push Comes To Shove" and become a certified Birth Companion & Advocate. Provide holistic care to women while earning a living and join the fastest-growing alternative maternity initiative in the world.
