S6, Ep 2 Amelie Patrux's empowered birth story of Elijah

Amelie Patrux's empowered birth story of Elijah. From Australian Doula to French Solo Mom; a story of conscious choice.

Welcome to Episode 2 in our Rise of the Feminine season.

In this collection of podcasts we are talking about birthing and living in a new way that fully honours our feminine journey and aspects. From caring for the Earth, to honouring our elders and of course how the feminine rises within us during pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Listen at the very end of each episode for each guest's vision and experience of the feminine rising.

Today I speak with the wonderful Amelie, who is currently living in France as a solo mum.

She actually helped found our Doula Service and was a Doula before becoming a mum.

Amelie tells her story about an assisted spiritual conception and her birth with her sister and mom.

In this episode we chat about:

How birth cultures vary in other parts of the world. France has an extremely high epidural rate of 80%.

We talk about the power of pre labor and altered states of consciousness, going into pain, how time expands, all these wonderful gifts of labor.

One of my favorite parts is the mother and baby ‘landing, then meeting’.

I hope you enjoy.

A little more about Amelie:

Amelie was raised by a South African mom and a French dad and lived in Sydney for the last 7 years before landing again recently in the suburbs of Paris (in the midst of a global pandemic you might have heard of?!) to be closer to her tribe of women. This melting pot of cultures gave her a profound love and curiosity for the diversity in people’s ideas, cultures, lives and opinions. Amelie is passionate about sustainability, reducing the footprint on our planet and truly believes we can all make a difference, one small action at a time!

She is 37 yo and the lucky mom of a little boy named Elijah, who is 17 months old.

Amelie has been a Doula and a yoga teacher for the last 6 years, first in Sydney and now in France. She has worked for She Births as the Doula Program Coordinator from the early days of this project. She also created an online program in France, called Naissance Holistique, to support couples through the journey of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She created it with a fellow French doula, Emmanuelle and they surrounded themselves with a team of perinatal experts: a midwife, a pediatrician, a lactation consultant, a psychologist.
