The Way Forward: Honouring the Sacred of Birth Motherhood and BeyondJune 6th-9th , Byron Bay

The Way Forward gathering is about bringing our attention and awareness to what we want to see and create in the world.
Upcoming Webinars
The Dance Of The Womb:
Fundamentals Of BellydanceBirth
TBA (register your interest below)
Oriental Dance – Raqs Al Sharqi – named Eastern Dance in Arabic is a powerful modality during pregnancy to access our emotional landscape with our babies and tone our physical bodies.
As women whether we are aware of it or not, the narrative of our lives and lineage resides within our womb space and psyche. These places of embodied awareness are amplified so that our journey, or as EmbodyBirth says “my story (mystery) has a chance to be revealed to us.
Join Maha as we explore some of the ways the dance of the womb can anchor us in these roots so that we can birth through our fears and find our inner strength, maternal voice and confidence.

“This was beautiful and spoke to my heart; ‘We should respectfully allow the song and dance of birth to unfold’. Exactly! I believe in you…take the time you need…you are valuable…I am loving you through… I was taught that it was unprofessional to develop a bond like this with my clients! I always failed. ‘Reassurance is the key to stabilizing a mothers emotional wound’. I need to re-listen to this a few times. It has too much valuable information that needs a lot of introspection and time to reflect on in order that it is absorbed and implemented. Thank you”.
– Hakimah Vasos
“So good to hear Maha speak with such confidence on her body and the ability of what it can do naturally without any help. And it is so nice to hear that she had three births that had gone the way SHE wanted. This presentation gives such power to women to trust their own bodies to do what is natural.”
– Von Luck
“That was an amazing presentation that I think I will need to go over more than once! It is deep work for birth workers to also heal from their births, the birth of their children and for many their childhood traumas. I wonder if birth workers can get burnt out quickly due to the lack of emotionally intelligent work that is never done. The fact they are never healed before they go into this work! Also the lack of support and positive mentorship that is never offered once Doula (and other birth work) courses are given….again thank you so much. I have a lot to think about. Mothers do need us to be connected to our truths! Amen!”
– Elizabeth Bain
“I felt very drawn to your method and story. I used to dance all the time and realising that I can bring that back into my life during pregnancy and birth will be another step closer to the empowered birth I desire. This is baby no.3 for me and as I approach the last few months (maybe weeks!) I am really starting to tune into gentle ways to labour and heal many of the traumas present in my first 2 births.”
– Nazanin Marashian
