Our Hawaii Birth Journey Coming to an End
Today is my last night in Hawaii. As I reflect on my journey I recognize the beauty of life when you are in alignment. This journey has been one of the best events of my life. I’m sure I will write another entire blog about the details of my hawaii experience! The family experience, the relationships I developed, the obstacles we overcame personally and for the filming of the documentary…Hawaii really was a journey for many reasons and I am so thankful for everything and everyone especially my first contacts in Hawaii Star and Michael, my midwives Mala and April, videographer Ben and his daughter Aria, my roommate B, Sariah our wonderful raw food chef, Kaden’s dad and my best friend James, Kaden and Naiya
I know I will be back to the big island! I have never felt so at home as I have here! I hope to aid and guide women through an experience I was able to have. The beautiful journey was truly life changing, I would really like to set up a retreat center that pregnant families can come to and stay for a few months before their birth, have wonderful foods prepared, yoga and other forms of prenatal exercise, community, swimming with the dolphins, and access to wonderful midwives for a natural birth. Only if every family could take off a few months and dedicate the time to each other and the growing baby. The family connection and bonding that can occur to prepare the family for their new addition and then another couple of months to be fully present with their new family member! What a beautiful experience it has been for me and such a learning opportunity.
Even though I did not deliver with the dolphins everything was the way Naiya wanted it. She chose her path and it was perfect. Our labor was peaceful in the ocean with the dolphins and for the sunset. Her birth was extremely fast in a nice tub of warm water with my beautiful family. I thank everyone who helped make this birth experience possible and hope that the documentary will encourage other families to have a natural birth!
With Love
Kim
