A new mother's story with Lauren Benda

In this episode Shelley Clarke chats with a very special guest, her sister Lauren Benda! Lauren is a physio of over 10 years and an Upledger advanced trained Craniosacral therapist (which there's only a handful of people in Australia with this qualification and training.) Listen as Lauren candidly discusses navigating the identity shift in becoming a new Mother.
In this episode you'll learn about:
- Lauren's journey moving from physiotherapy to a Craniosacral therapist
- how she had to advocate for herself in the third trimester of her pregnancy and birth
- why a Craniosacral therapy session opened her body to rehearse the birth of her daughter
- why Aware Parenting's listening to feelings helped Lauren's connection to her newborn baby especially after feeding trouble
- how Lauren is navigating the depth and width of this new identity of Mother that she hasn't experienced before
If you are wanting to gain incredible insight to the way you can navigate the medical system whilst birthing and advocating for yourself, then this is the podcast episode for you!
