Learning the Seven Secrets of a Joyful Birth
Seven Secrets of a Joyful Birth By Dominique Sakoilsky
This weekend has seen me undertake the first part of my Active Birth professional training at the Active Birth Centre in North London.
Dominique Sakoilsky and Janet Balaskas have been teaching our group about the Seven Secrets of a Joyful Birth.
The group is comprised of a wonderful cross-section of women from the UK, Holland, Norway, Israel, Mexico and Japan and it has been an honour to train with them and to draw from their experiences and wisdom.
“Working through the seven secrets is a brilliant way to address the deeper issues within yourself in a safe and simple way. It will free you to enjoy the unfolding, the transformation, the growing that is happening inside you. This process never stops in life. Yet in pregnancy it happens so profoundly and intensely as we integrate enormous changes, in our bodies, our feelings and our relationships in a relatively short span of time. Each of you – mother, father and baby – has a different set of challenges. The baby to be born from the womb into the world, the mother to be the giver of birth and the nurturer, the father to be the companion and protector, couple or single parent to become a healthy loving family.
In this book Dominique Sakoilsky will help you to identify your own particular challenges. She will also give you all the practical guidance you need and an understanding of how birth happens, the amazing hormonal physiology that underlies the natural process in us humans, just as it does in other mammals.”

Cooking Times May Vary (by 5 Weeks), or the Curse of the EDD
Ah, the infinite variety of bread! I love the way you can alter the ingredients just a tiny amount and get something completely different. And you never know how long it will take to prove, or how large it will get. Then stick it in the oven and depending on how much...
Janet Balaskas – what an amazing woman!
Just came across this really interesting article on Janet Balaskas from 2012. I am getting excited about meeting her in 2 weeks when I start my training. She really revolutionised so much about the way we give birth - and want to give birth. ...
Living the cliché
I always scoffed at the old adage that women have to choose between a career and a family. I was born in the 70s, my mum was a feminist, and I was brought up to believe I could have anything I wanted: everything, for that matter! I had a good...
