Iris' Story

Let Love found me and spoke to a part of me that was looking for something different, something deeper.  I was desiring support for reconnecting with my emotions and tuning into my inner knowing.  Cheryl journeyed along with me during my preconception time and my second pregnancy while I prepared for birth and postpartum.  

I invited Cheryl to be my birth companion because I knew she could hold me in that sacred space.  Throughout our time together I cultivated a deep trust for birth and for life that has served me so many times since.  My birthing time moved quickly and Cheryl was there for me for the last few contractions before my baby was born.  I know she arrived at the perfect time to support my husband, to give baby a softer landing earthside, and to witness me in those intense and powerful moments.  She also provided so much care and comfort in the early postpartum hours after baby arrived.

Cheryl continued to walk along with me in the many weeks that followed and her knowledge, encouragement, and compassion has been invaluable for me and my family.  Let Love is truly a practice for birth and for life, but I didn't realize how much I benefitted from the practice until I became a mother of two.  I appreciated the  practices for birth preparation but it wasn't until moving through birth a second time and entering into postpartum again that I really understood and could feel how much I needed this to be able to mother from my heart.  I have been able to slow down this postpartum and feel moments of peace, joy, connection, and love that otherwise would have passed me by.  

I feel so grateful for everything that I have learned and all the ways that I have grown because of Let Love and can see the ripples going out to my children, family, and friends.
