My post-partum journey. Plus I’m filling in some gaps that I think I missed in the earlier episodes.
This is everything from cocooning for 10 days, co-sleeping, babywearing, finding a pram in hard rubbish, breastfeeding, weaning, elimination communication and navigating customs bringing Violet’s placenta from Australia to New Zealand and the smell of cooking human flesh (it was the placenta, don’t worry). Mastitis and saying NO 3-4 times to maternal health nurse services.
Something else I want to add which wasn’t mentioned in my birth story…
When I was giving birth to Violet there was a lot of noise (from me) it came from somewhere else and what I feel was a primal birth.
It’s something I always ask women who have already given birth, but didn’t have the outcome they desire.
Did you make sound?
Often the answer is NO.
Why not?
I was worried about the other women in the ward, what the midwives would think of me, it’s not like me to make sound…
My encouragement to them… Make the sound and see what happens.
I’ve heard some beautiful stories of the following births being liberating.

The Art Of Listening To Your Body
My name is Dr. Jin Ong I’m a cathartic release therapist, professionally trained as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western acupuncturist and herbalist.
I’m fascinated by the mind-body connection and how your physical body is a manifestation of your emotional state.
My aim is to create awareness to the underlying emotions behind pain, injury and disease in the body as well as behvioural dysfunctions and mental imbalances. I do this using a unique blend of eastern and western philosophies and a good dose of intuition.
I love reading the body and what it's really trying to tell us through it's physical presentation, injury, pain or illness. I call it the art of listening to your body. It's all about understanding yourself and others on a deeper level.
I guide people to recognise their purpose in the world by bringing light to the issues that hold them back. I do this through an intuitive understanding of how the body speaks to us and help clients develop their emotional awareness and take actionable steps to achieve their goals.
If you want to learn to tap into your innate intuitive sense in an easy to understand way come and join me.
Pain stories are fascinating and there is so much we can learn from them. Join me as I'm joined by inspirational people who share how their life changed after their painful experience- what they had to surrender to and how their life looks now.
