Wise Wild Woman

Return to Nature and Birth in Power

This is a space 
for the Wise Women

The Wild Women, those who want to come home to wholeness through sacred space holding. Journey with me through pregnancy, birth and postpartum, a dance between us where I move between the roles of leader, guide and witness as you return to nature and birth in power.

I believe in women being held by the sisterhood and the neighbourhood, in autonomy and sovereignty. Supporting women and being the one that they can trust as they cross the threshold is the greatest of honours.

It is my promise to hold you, to nourish you and to witness you in all of your wholeness. To walk with you as you enter your initiation to motherhood.

Allow me to hold the lamp…

Introducing Daia

Birth Keeper, Ancoradora, Nurturer and Forager of Wisdom

I believe in the art of authentic midwifery. In holding space for women and offering support and sovereignty as they cross the threshold into motherhood. My style is tranquil and serene, but I believe there are times a leader needs to rise and guide. I am not afraid to do this and will hold you in your most tender moments but also in those when your feminine fierceness is called for in its fullness.

Kind Words

After the ceremony I felt like a different person. I am not exaggerating. I left so much pain and suffering behind thanks to Daia! I am so grateful for everything she did for us. I am a happy mom since and I am so glad I made this investment into myself, where my baby and family get to benefit too.

Diana

I had a wonderful birth – my daughter was born smoothly and calmly in the comfort of my own living room. I’m incredibly grateful to Daia for showing me how to bring about such a beautiful and empowering birth. Her genuine loving care made the whole experience more special.

Kerry

I felt as though Daia found all the pieces of me and both physically and spiritually pulled them together again. She drew light to places I didn’t even know needed healing, as well as helping me start the incredibly hard journey of piecing myself together following my experiences over the past year.

  • She told me a couple of days after the Closing Ceremony: ‘I feel like a new woman, only now I can embrace myself as a Mother.’ Healing and restorative, this is transformative for those who have experienced loss or trauma, for gaining closure or marking and celebrating the mother’s initiation after giving birth. This 5+ hours ritual has the power to untangle a mother in any stage of her life from a birth that left her feeling disconnected, confused, sad and disempowered. La Cerrada has the capacity to knit a mother back together. It offers an embodied journey for her to release any negative feelings and creates new space for integration and transformation. This Ceremony is Medicine and it’s something I wish every mother could experience. That’s why I’m passing the torch on to other women in my community so more mothers can be held in this healing and sacred way. There are ONLY 3 SPACES left in the workshop, if you feel called to do this work grab this opportunity. 27th and 28th September in Bath. To book follow the link in my BIO 📸 @yogi_oli_ thank you for allowing me to share a window into your ceremony.
  • I once said to my business coach that everytime I try to explain or describe La Cerrada Ceremony to someone I fail to do it justice. What I can say about the Herbal Bath is that here is where the real alchemy happens. The combination of the intense heat, the darkness, the steam, the small enclosed space, the aromatic & herbal scent, and also importantly, the woman holding space offering attuned guidance, leads the mother to a place between worlds. In the tent she can be wild and primal. And revisit and complete her birth through her body. The herbal bath is a recreation of the Temaskal, the sweat lodge that symbolises the womb of Mother Earth. Here we offer an opportunity to release and cleanse, to wash away the pain, repressed and suppressed emotions, grief, anger. A time to honour the journey and welcome rebirth. #lacerradaceremony #closingthebonesceremony #mexicanpostpartumritual #firstfortydays #postpartumdoula #posnatalrecovery #riteofpassage
  • If you really knew me you would know how passionate I am about body work, birth, health and postpartum and I’m so excited to be soon offering La Cerrada Ceremony Workshop. This ritual has 4 stages and the healing art of touch is the first step. 💆🏻‍♀️ In this part of the ceremony we work with the element EARTH. Grounding the mother through touch, warm oils and long strokes. We soothe the body, inviting her to release tension and any mental agitation. Here we give space for her to be held safely and enjoy a pleasurable and nurturing full body massage. I have over 15 years of experience of working with manual therapies and I love sharing these skills with other birth and body workers. 🔥 It’s part of my mission to pass on my skills to my community so more mothers get to be NURTURED, HELD and brought BACK TO WHOLENESS through this powerful and profound ritual. If you are a doula or birth keeper looking to upgrade your services this is going to bring your offerings to the next level. If you are a body worker, this workshop will deepen your skillset to hold space for women in the most sacred and transformative way. This is for all of us who want to see mothers being at the centre, being celebrated and nourished. 🔸LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE🔸 To book your place follow the link in my BIO. #lacerradaceremony #firstfortydays #postpartum #sovereignbirth #freebirth #birthautonomy #postpartumdoula #closingthebones

  • The Rose A medicine for the aching heart. A gentle companion for times of ending, loss and grief. Her blossom, a symbol of Divine Love, teaching us to trust, to connect with our feelings and open the heart space again. Her perfume, the highest scent lifting the heaviness, unburdening the chest. Her thorns, a lesson about boundaries, reminding us to speak our truth with love. For the skin a calming myst. For the throat a soothing medicine. For the soul a warm embrace, a wise and caring friend. Check my Wild Apothecary Shop and order your Heart Space Elixir and Rose Water made with Spring Water from the Malvern Hills
  • The body holds us through it all. It stores information and gathers memories; the good and the ones that hinder our freedom and impact our wellbeing. I’ve been intentionally working and channelling healing through and with my hands for almost two decades. I feel a deep and divine connection when I touch my clients’ bodies and get to listen to their stories between my fingers.  I feel the memory, I access information and use my intuition to guide my hands and facilitate the release of physical and energetic blocks. I combine the art of massage with ancient medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Shamanism as wel as natural healing modalities like Reichian therapy, TRE, Herbalism, Reflexology and the use of the Mexican Rebozo, a handwoven cotton scarf traditionally used for pregnancy, birth and beyond. I have a deep passion for movement, dance, yoga, martial arts and somatic work. When I’m massaging my clients, I’m dancing with my hands. In this dance I’m encouraging their bodies return to wholeness and for them to feel embodied, allowing more pleasure and freedom into their lives. The sessions usually last between 1-2hours depending on what you are looking for and what your needs are. Women leave from my hands feeling deeply nurtured, calmer, energised and enlivined.   To book your Embody Work Session follow the link on my Bio. #Embodiment #pregnancy #antenatalcare #bodywork #somatichealing
