Empowered Birth with Guest Savannah Freemyer

Permission to Be Enchanting

Today we are talking about taking back a sense of control and power. Savannah Freemyer is a budding sex, love and relationship coach and recently had a baby incorporating holistic pleasure practices to have an empowered pregnancy and birth experience.

This birth was vastly different than with her first daughter, because she was able to trust her body and her body’s ability to handle the birthing process. Many of the self-pleasure practices and exercises she learned in her coaching program helped her to be fully present and lean into the uncomfortable sensations. Her doula reminded her THAT HER SURGES ARE STRONG BECAUSE HER BODY IS STRONG.

Clare notices the similarity of riding a wave of a birthing contraction to riding a wave of an orgasm. It isn't helpful to clench and fight the contraction. It is better to surrender to it.

Savannah leaned into the sensations and let them expand through her body. She also had the mindset shift, “this is not happening to me, MY BODY IS DOING THIS FOR ME.”

Savannah’s coaching focuses on helping couples build communication skills before the baby arrives. It’s easier to get your sexy back when you have support in the postpartum phase.

Rachel’s libido went up after her first child. She thinks because of the difficulties of the birth, her opinion of her body changed after that birth to “Look what I just did?! My body is awesome. I'm so impressed with myself!"

Clare mentions that sex drive can decrease after birth and especially after a traumatic birth or when experiencing postpartum depression.

Savannah’s takeaway message from her empowered birth is LEARN TO TRUST YOURSELF. This birth has helped open up so much of her to say, “Where else can I say no? Where else can I say yes?” Because she trusts herself. She’s listening to her body.
