🌀Lets go on a journey here, this is a beautiful story of birth told from the words of a mother that has encompassed her work and life with the gifts that each child brought her. Meet Julia, specialist in the body from a background of anatomist to working now with women in pelvic mapping and Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®. We head on an interesting journey here and learn extensively about what each birth can teach us and how we can embrace the journey and find ways to support others in our blooming mother path. Julia was an absolute delight to listen to, her voice resonated a divine message of wisdom and she spoke her stories thus to show the intrinsic and intuitive nature of us as human beings. Find a nice cuppa for this episode and snuggle into some wellness podcasting!
We began with Julia’s interesting journey from starting Reiki as young teen and then transversing through her studies in human science. Fascinating how Julia describes listening to her callings in life. From here we talk about her mothering journey. As the modern (young) age of 24 Julia come into their pregnancy and her and her partner went along the path of the birth centre, the discussion leads into the space of the shut down process during this pregnancy and what that looked like for her. Julia felt in hindsight that she was not ready and fearful. Julia, working with this feeling found out that baby was in breech position, she had to leave the familiar and comfortable birth centre space and head into the hospital. Cesarean was booked and we walk through the process for Julia as a young woman experiencing baby coming through the veil, very quickly and very big to process.
With Julia’s next birth, she had a university degree under her belt in human science, this young family spent allot of time travelling and adjusting to a new phase of their family life. We talk about the next birth being a planned C Section. This birth being a planned experience offered more of a leeway into the journey and offering insight where Julia was heading with her work and her own personal growth.
So not long after this birth Julia conceived again. This pregnancy was a head down baby and Julia was looking at letting the baby decide on this birth. Her doctor was supportive, the hospital not so much and Julia talked about the fear processes that come to her during this time. Already she has a midwife that handpicked her wanting to support her at the birth in the hospital and helped Julia with the navigation of the system. We entered into the space that Julia went into feeling labour for the first time, the labour once she released her blockages went along very fast.
We talked about Julia’s growth in her work (see the resources for great info) she come to the sense that there was strong messages to her to have a homebirth. Julia describes the birth as incredible, the midwife arrived at around 9cm, this was described as the most connected, empowered birth. Baby was born into the water. Julia describes baby as smiling when he come out. They had a lotus birth and describe the experience being home this time.
Having your first baby births you into becoming a mother.
From these inspiring journeys we talk in depth on how Julias work is reflected from these journeys. Julia is practicing Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® and also Pelvic Mapping (see resources). This is where we deep dive into mensuration, body shame, pelvic mapping, exploring the womens mysteries. This is the essence of who Julia is today!
From Julia
“I know the very second that my body shut down and closed”.
“New parents need more support”.
“I always said that I will let the baby decide how to come”.
“I felt really honoured as a woman during my birth”.
“It was such an empowering experience to vaginally birth after two C Sections”.
“There was points in my labour when I left my body”.
“Birth is quite big for men to and I feel they need to have some support or processing after this experience.
“The difference with my births was my connection to my pelvic space and to my self “.
“It was like all my work started to weave in at the same time but not to fast or to much thus my concentration was still on my children as well. “
“I heard my baby during labour saying just let go, just allow”.
“I felt like I come back into my body”.

About Julia
Since I was a young child, I have had a deep interest in the human body. I was exposed to vibrational medicine at a young age, and experienced its effects on the physical, emotional and spiritual planes. The power of healing by the laying on of hands had a huge impact on me as a teenager when I took a course in Reiki, which inspired a deep and ongoing interest in healing practices.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Sydney, majoring in Anatomy and Physiology, and subsequently taught Anatomy to university students. This formal knowledge has provided me with a firm foundation and understanding of the physical body, while also underpinning my study of many aspects of healing.
My passion for vibrational medicine led me to study the Australian Bush Flower Essences, and I am now an advanced practitioner. I love the support the Essences offer my clients.
When I was introduced to The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy, I found all of my studies and interests incorporated in the one technique. I have experienced wonderful personal results by using this therapy, and I appreciate its powerful holistic approach. I am now a certified practitioner in the techniques, having travelled to Belize in Central America to undertake further study with Dr Rosita Arvigo.
My passion for the deep and profound shifts that can occur when working with the pelvic area led me to study Holistic Pelvic Care™ with Tami Lynn Kent. This work resonates deeply with me. I love witnessing the feelings of joy and empowerment that women experience as they ‘come home’ to themselves and their creative centre.
My intention is to offer transformational experience through raised awareness, loving attention and restoration of a woman’s life force. I call on my own life journey to inform my approach, offering women a loving and supportive environment to explore new possibilities for deep healing, restored vitality and a greater sense of purpose.
As a mother of four beautiful children – three daughters and a son – I am constantly shown the importance of embracing my femininity. My children inspire me every day to stay grounded and model reconnection to my centre.
