Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond

If I told you my births were calm, joyful and pain-free… would you believe me?

Hi, I’m Carinya!

Together with my partner, I longed for and dreamt of a baby for many years… a roller-coaster of emotions that ultimately led us to the miracles of modern day science: IVF / ICSI – for which we are eternally grateful.

Like many other women though, I was terrified about the prospect of birth. Yes, I knew it was ‘natural’ and had been taking place for however many hundreds of thousands of years, yet I still could not comprehend it.

“You have given me hope for our next cycle. I’m scared, excited and so unsure but I’m hopeful that if it’s meant to be it will be. Thanks again for sharing.”

"Your journey is just incredible! It really opened my eyes to a lot of things I had absolutely no idea about! I remember reading your whole blog in a night!"

"Thank you Carinya! I am a first time mum and had so much fear about birth. I read everything you wrote and learnt so much. I had a beautiful water birth! Calm and joyful and, thanks to the EPI-NO, I had only a graze.”

“I wish you could know how grateful I am. It was the encouragement I needed to pursue IVF but most importantly enjoy myself in life again. Your ministry was so valuable to me.”

“Your blog is one of the things I’m so grateful to find throughout both my pregnancy journeys ♥️ Thanks for putting your love into it.”
