Manon hails from the Netherlands, where midwifery care and homebirth are more common place than in Australia. She and her partner Carter enlisted my care for their first birth together.
I love how Manon describes the journey she took into motherhood, as an opening into herself, and an awakening of the feminine qualities of deep rest, listening in, self care, as well as knowing her strength and power. These qualities were asked of her in her pregnancy, especially towards the end when her blood pressure began rising, and became resourceful tools for her in her healing in postpartum.
If you’re pregnant and would like to work with Manon, her contact details can be found in the show notes.

These stories are intimate, raw, inspiring - parents sharing their birth experiences - the highs, the challenges, the growth. How did they prepare, what was unexpected, what do they now know?
Join Cath Tan, holistic homebirth midwife in Geraldton, Western Australia as she speaks with local families about their transformational birth journeys.
'Stories have always been powerful ways of sharing information and wisdom; soul maps for significant life events we humans traverse. I hope you'll find these stories educational, uplifting and comforting.' xx Cath
