A podcast by Ella Noah Bancroft

Released as a big FUCK YOU to THE COMMONWEALTH On the Queens Birthday.

Aimee Aroha is a Transpersonal Mentor, Transpersonal Birth Mentor & Birth Companion. She is also a Mother of two, a lover, a believer in and advocate for radical self responsibility, body autonomy, expansive conscious relating (with self and others). She believes wholeheartedly in the power of pleasure and the importance of conscious relationships, birthing and parenting for the future of health of humanity and the planet.  As a Transpersonal Mentor, Aimee has seen how the wellness world has been created through the colonisers lens and she is using her work to help decolonise healing and self care trend.

In this conversation we discuss Aimee’s journey to decolonise her mind, body and soul as a mixed heritage woman with Maori blood (First Nations people to New Zealand). Aimee is passionate about birth sovereignty and reclaiming the birth space for women and birthing people. She herself has traversed the Rite of Passage that is birth, the transition from Maiden to Mother and we talk about the complex, wild, intuitive, ceremonial, at times traumatic, often joyful and always expansive birth experience. We discuss helpful ways to ritualise your birth and Aimee’s own incredible unassisted home birth in 2019.

Aimee is a huge believer in radical self care and is a rebel at heart and this conversation is so needed right here, right now.

Decolonise To Thrive.
