“Clancy dropped out of the ether at a crucial point in my third pregnancy. I was struggling with a history of birth trauma and crippling fear. I was feeling called to freebirth, unhappy with my midwives, instinctively knowing I didn’t want a ‘managed’ birth, wanting to break free but also frightened of being truly alone, and lonely, as I had been for my first two births. And then, like I’d called her in - there she was. She is special, this woman. Her empathy is like a living thing, that moves with her and around her as she holds you. She became my anchor, and bridge, and mentor in the weeks leading up to the birth, (but never my crutch). She shone a light along a new and glorious path that ultimately led to me having a transcendent, life-changing, ecstatic, empowered, fearless, wild birth. I am forever changed and so much more myself because of this deeply joyful and sovereign experience, and I would never have stepped into this new world without Clancy opening the door for me. I’m grateful on such a profound level for her guidance, her confidence in me, and her loving presence. I’ve at last experienced birth as it is supposed to be, and the ripples of growth and evolution and joy are ever-widening.”
