"It has been said that the female has been chosen as the only portal between the spiritual & physical worlds.
A woman is the only force powerful enough to navigate unborn souls into this world.
A woman is the only means of entrance into this world.
So tell me why don’t we treat her as such?
And woman why don’t you carry yourself as such?"

My name is Cushla and come from a beautiful small beach town called Opotiki and now based in New Plymouth and mother of three. 
Due to some special circumstances in my second pregnancy I realised I would need support and guidance to ease my mind from the worries of being induced early, and birthing in a hospital environment when I had envisioned a homebirth.
After my HypnoBirthing® sessions I felt confident and at ease and delivered Hazel  into the world two weeks early in hospital.

From that moment on I realised how powerful hypnobirthing was in bringing me this experience and how this impacted positively on my ability to bond with my baby daughter and my healing.

I believe that all mothers need to be honored, cherished and empowered during this sensitive time to embrace  labour and birth and educate them to understand and believe in this amazing and transformational experience and rite of passage into motherhood. 

My vision for earth + soul mama is to create a space for women to feel supported and have the tools to enhance their journey through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
