We lost the connection with our bodies because we are constantly told to not listen to them. My guest Chitra Natarajan explains how the use of hypnobirthing, guided imagery and other tools can enhance your birthing experience and then we chat about how those insights could be applied in mainstream education.
The main message is: we need to get rid of the top-down authority in the birthing world. Instead, it needs to be built on trust and collaboration.
More about my guest:
Chitra Natrajan, originally from Southern India, is now living in The Netherlands with her partner Anand and their daughter Dwani.
She's an HR professional turned birth educator, a certified Hypnotherapist, a businesswoman, and a podcaster of the Baby Ahoy podcast where she talks about women’s health, birthing stories, human rights & babies. When she doesn't do that, you will find her singing in a women's choir, drinking loads of chai, taking long walks in the woods, or diving into interior design. Oh, or maybe she'll be lifting weights.
The reason I wanted to interview her was that what she is teaching is considered common knowledge in some cultures, and a field of forgotten, even taboo knowledge in others. The topic of giving birth is a universal one and yet the education connected to it could not be more different from community to community. What can we as educators learn from that? That was our pursuit.
