Placenta smoothie anyone? all things placenta.
Published: 03/11/2016
The placenta, your baby's first mother, this amazing organ is responsible for keeping your baby well nourished. The placenta during pregnancy sits along the uterine wall receiving all the necessary nutrients and oxygen from the mothers blood flowing pass at specific exchange sites, it also acts as a filter to rid any nasties before transporting the baby's now nutrient and oxygen rich blood to the baby via the umbilical cord.
This live to air on 99.9 Bay Fm episode of Pregnancy Birth and Beyond is all about this amazing organ that sustains the life of the unborn child, yet its purpose does not end there at the birth of the placenta...

Trusting within, with Holly Goldberg
Published: 10/09/2016
Trust. Trust in your body, trust in birth... there are many positive birth affirmations around trusting your body but what does it really mean to trust within? On today’s show I interviewed Holly Goldberg, who lives in California, USA, with her partner and daughter. Holly also holds a PhD in Perinatal Psychology and is a flower essence counselor and alchemist. This is Holly's story, candid and real; her story of trusting within despite the unexpected curve balls life can throw. There are many layers to the story. There are the events taking place and the story beneath the story. While the events of this story may differ or perhaps mirror events in your life, the story beneath is one most of us, if not all of us can relate. In ways the undercurrent of this story shared today is coded into our very DNA. It is a story of a Hero's Journey or more correctly a Heroine’s Journey. And finally, this is a story of healing spiritually and physically from the inside out.
Live to air September 2016 from Bay Fm 99.9 from the heart of Byron Bay with Lara Martin.
Key themes: breast cancer, caesarian birth, trust in body.
A family Afloat
Published: 13/08/2016
What does it take to live a life less ordinary... On the Pregnancy Birth and Beyond Radio show we share the story of the Lauducci family of five aboard their sailboat the Shawnigan. A Family Afloat set sail about a year ago, we hear of their adventure afloat with mum Josie, dad Christian and one of 3 kids, Nina 13.
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Joseph Campbell.
