Welcome!
I'm Sheila Kamara Hay
I want you to know that childbirth can be one of the most transformative, Empowering and potentially pleasurable experiences in a woman’s life.
Yes, you read that right
I’m talking about ENJOYING childbirth.
I am passionate about providing you with with tools and resources so you can have an ecstatic experience birthing your child or supporting your clients in Ecstatic Birth.
Childbirth is a huge rite of passage in a woman’s life. Like most rites of passages, it may not be easy, but it can take you higher than you’ve ever been your entire life.
Let’s talk about the pleasure
available in birth, shall we?
There are so many levels! At its best, the birth experience provides a powerful blend of emotional empowerment, spiritual connection, and physical ecstasy.
This is not the typical birth you hear about or see depicted in the media. Those births don’t seem like much fun. Ecstatic Birth is everything our culture depicts birth to be turned inside out and upside down.
This type of birth is available to the fully conscious,
fierce & well prepared woman.
When you give birth to your child, you are also giving birth to yourself as a mother.
Learn to birth with the full force of your feminine wisdom and you will emerge mothering with the full force of your feminine wisdom.
What a gift that is to you and your baby!
Ecstatic Birth is not about sacrificing for the good of your child. Most of us have got that move down. Ecstatic Birth is about valuing the nature of your experience along the way. How you feel has huge repercussions for your baby and for how you move into motherhood.
To enjoy giving birth to your child, you have to train… like a marathon. You will be swimming upstream against deep rooted cultural messages, personal and societal constructs.
I learned that lesson the hard way...
The seeds of Ecstatic Birth were conceived years ago with my first pregnancy. I desired a birth that would leave me breathless and marveling at my body’s strength, wisdom, and capacity to bring forth life – but I had no idea how to get there. I was surrounded by love and encouraged to get the “best” doctor who would deliver me in the “best” hospital to stay “safe.” I listened, enrolled in a natural childbirth class, and wished upon a star.
My first birth was a lot more traumatic than ecstatic. It set into motion a string of heartbreaking events that shook my very foundation and forced me to re-evaluate how to operate in this world. Through that reconsideration, I learned to connect to the wisdom of my body and the importance of pleasure to my well-being. It was only after I had integrated these lessons that I was able to conceive again.
That birth was my wake up call.
I decided that if I was ever going to give birth again, it had to be completely different.
As I contemplated another pregnancy, I sought providers who shared my vision and I began to train with my mind, body, heart, and soul towards that vision. As a result, I experienced a beautiful, Zen birth. Postpartum, my body felt so good, so healthy. What took me months to recover from the first time took only hours, days the second time. I felt so strong, so beautiful, so alive, and thrilled with my femininity. There was more love and happiness flowing through me than I had ever experienced and I felt totally in tune with my sensual nature.
The third time I got pregnant, I knew my body was fully capable of giving birth without intervention, but I was curious if I could ENJOY it- not just the after glow, but the process of labor and delivery itself. I had read one line in a 300+ page book saying that some women experienced heightened states of Bliss, Ecstasy and even Orgasm during birth. I wanted to know what THAT was about!
I spent the next nine months putting my attention there, researching and preparing- mind, body, heart, and soul- to infuse pleasure into my birthing experience.
That birth took me higher than I've ever been in my life and even though I was preparing for PLEASURE... what I experienced transcended every possibility I had imagined.
After this experience, I felt very emotional and kept wondering...
“Why didn’t I know that it could be this good? Why don’t people know? ”
I FEEL called to tell everyone--
to open the doors of possibility for Ecstatic Birth In every way I can!
What began by sharing my own story has turned into my soul's work and passion. For over 10 years, I have been training expectant moms and birth practitioners to honor the design of the body and integrate the most holistic birthing tool, PLEASURE, into birth preparation and support.
Working with countless women in over 22 countries, I have affirmed that my experience wasn’t a fluke. Ecstatic Birth is 100% teachable and learnable.
Birth with PLEASURE!
These programs are some my proudest creations, offering Ecstatic Birth training to expectant mothers, birth practitioners and women devoted to living in alignment with their bodies, pleasure, and feminine design.
