Part 4: Violet - My Post-partum Journey

My post-partum journey. Plus I’m filling in some gaps that I think I missed in the earlier episodes. This is everything from cocooning for 10 days, co-sleeping, babywearing, finding a pram in hard rubbish, breastfeeding, weaning, elimination communication and navigating customs bringing Violet’s placenta from Australia to New Zealand and the smell of cooking human flesh (it was the placenta, don’t worry). Mastitis and saying NO 3-4 times to maternal health nurse services. Something else I want to add which wasn’t mentioned in my birth story… When I was giving birth to Violet there was a lot of noise (from me) it came from somewhere else and what I feel was a primal birth. It’s something I always ask women who have already given birth, but didn’t have the outcome they desire. Did you make sound? Often the answer is NO. Why not? I was worried about the other women in the ward, what the midwives would think of me, it’s not like me to make sound… My encouragement to them… Make the sound and see what happens. I’ve heard some beautiful stories of the following births being liberating.

Om Podcasten

Jin Ong is medical intuitive, pattern hunter, theme breaker and messenger of truth. Trained professionally as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western medical acupuncturist and herbalist. She has worked with thousands of clients. She started two bricks and mortar clinics she later went on to sell to move into the online space as a coach + mentor. She is the creator of the Release Process ® and host of The Art Of Listening To Your Body Podcast. Jin works with complex physical and emotional conditions that don’t respond to traditional or conventional therapies, including surgery. Her work also includes those with cancer, autoimmune conditions and fertility issues. She is a strong believer that your body is a manifestation of your emotional state. The experiences, events and traumas in your life are associated with an emotion that wants to be expressed and released at the time. If you don’t know how to express or rather you suppress because that emotion is inconvenient, it gets stored in your body as a source of stress. You can compensate until you can’t anymore. When it all gets too much, your body presents with physical issues: pain, injury, illness, disease; mental imbalances: anxiety, depression that overtakes your life and fears and phobias; behavioural dysfunction: addiction, excess control and discipline; as well as recurring issues playing out in your life. You don’t need to end up at this crisis point. Jin weaves in the practical and the woo to intuitively read your body and decipher the messages it has for you. Most importantly she facilitates a deeply cathartic and transformational process to empty out your emotional cup, create space for more and manifest the life you truly desire. She loves to dig deep, speak about the unspoken, and help you process unresolved emotions that hold them back from living the life you truly want. It all starts with getting comfortable with discomfort and speaking about the unspoken.
