Subject: [ozmidwifery] Hello I'm
new
Hi everyone
I'm Melinda - mother to 2 gorgeous little guys
Finn (4) and Eden (15mths) who were both born at home and bring me daily joy
:)
I'm "kind of" new to this list in that I've been
a member on and off over the years....every now and then I jump off some lists
when my enormous email list starts to overwhelm me.
I'm currently a fulltime mum, but have previously
worked as Naturopath/Homoeopath - specialising in Natural Fertility,
Pregnancy, Birth and Postnatal care. During that time I was very privileged to
attend some glorious births (both home and hospital) and can honestly say that
I've been well and truly bitten by the "birth bug" - I will never tire of the
sight of a woman in the throes of labour and the seemingly magical appearance
of those wet, warm little heads as they make their way into this world of ours
:)
Whilst I am not "technically" working at the
moment - I am being kept very busy with being one of the founding
co-ordinators of a new non-profit organisation called Natural Parenting
Melbourne. Being more parenting related than my previous work, I am greatly
enjoying the experience of following and supporting the "continuum" that
follows the huge transition into parenthood called birth. It has been so
affirming on both a personal and professional level to meet families who are
securely committed to nurturing strong attachment and bonding with their
children. IMO - the world can never have enough conscious, loving
parents.
Looking forward to listening and learning from
you all.
