BellydanceBirth

Having given birth naturally in October 2008 to her third child at home in the water at the ripe young age of 46, Maha would like to share her journey through pregnancy and birth entwined with the power of bellydancebirthand a conversation with midwives in a viewing of her 50 minute birthing film, also a feature on her DVD. BellydanceBirth® is an exercise modality that supports women throughout pregnancy and labour to empower women toward a conscious and autonomous birth experience.

Maha is keen to spread her knowledge , from her Middle Eastern perspective, by sharing this wonderful, practical prenatal exercise and birthing tool for all women worldwide, including mothers, doulas, midwives, childbirth educators etc. The interest in her work is gathering momentum and she has had a wonderful response thus far from a variety of birthing practitioners as well as the Sydney Homebirth Conference in November 2007 and Dr Michel Odent’s Brisbane Birth Breastfeeding and Beyond tour 2008.

Maha would love to share the sensual and traditional aspects of this ancient Arabic art form bringing you into a sacred space of personal reflection as well as joyously celebrating its beauty and timelessness as a sacred dance of the feminine.
