What does it mean to Birth yourself into Being?

• It means fully embracing and harnessing the changing woman you are through the changing landscapes of your life.
• It means taking responsibility for your life and stepping into your POWER and SELF-SOVEREIGNTY.
• It means falling madly in love with yourself, finding the courage to face your fears and remove the layers of beliefs and stories that hide the very light of who you are and keep you small.
• It means nurturing and cultivating your inner self so your beauty, creativity, love and light is reflected into every aspect of your life.
• It means something different for each and every one of us AND each perspective and expression is celebrated.
• It means being at the helm of your own vessel and it is stunning! 

These are the women who change the world. These are the women who raise children who change the world. Together, we rise, heal our wounds, heal our children, heal our ancestors and birth an entirely new way relating to our lives and in the process co-create a more beautiful and nurturing world. 

Greetings, I'm Avril! 

Equal parts spiritual warrior, healed and healing healer and practical strategist, Avril Bowens is a midwife, mentor, mother, nurse, Birth Emergency Skills Training Instructor, birth advocate, farmer and visionary whose on a mission to help women around the world BIRTH themselves into BEING through life's many transitions.   

She made her pivot from active practice to the virtual world after healing from a very traumatic motorcycle accident where she was given the rare opportunity to ~ walk her talk ~ in a profound way and put all her knowledge and skills acquired through the years into practice - to heal and Birth her own self into BEING...from the extensive physical, emotional and spiritual injuries she sustained. 

And so...the Midwife Method was born which currently houses...

• Thriving through Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond Mentoring Program
• Optimal Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy and Baby
• Empowered Pregnancy and Birth
• Birth yourself into Being
• Birth yourself into Being through your Baby's First Year

Each program weaves the mystical and the practical into digestible and useable pieces. Combining a deep understanding of the physiology of mind and body, of pregnancy and birth, of nutrition and herbal medicine, of energy and movement, and of the steps to empowerment and transformation during transitional times in life...which culminate in extremely effective, comprehensive, supportive and transformational programs. 

The primary role of a midwife is to educate and empower, to gently guide when needed, to provide a flexible blueprint for the journey ahead and a safe container for a person's growth so that they can find their own wisdom within, connect to their own source of power and - birth themselves or their babies or there creativity or their dreams - and emerge from the process (whether it be pregnancy, birth, your baby's first year, a huge change in life, or menopause) fully informed, confident, capable and empowered.

The midwifery model of care can be applied to any situation. It's is not just about supporting birth of babes, it's always been about supporting birth of SELVES through pregnancy and now I am rejoiced to be celebrating this much needed process with all women, pregnant or not. Because we are always creating and birthing and we all need to be held through whichever transition we happen to be in.
