Song medicine for the perinatal, birthing, and postpartum portals.
It is said that in the Himba tribe of Namibia, when a woman feels the call to have a child, she goes to a tree alone and listens for the child’s song. This song is then taught to the father, midwives, and elders to be sung during the birth. It is also sung at pivotal events in that person’s life, including marriage, illness, or initiation rituals. If the person commits some sort of wayward act, the tribe sings the song to the person to summon them back home to themselves and their community with love rather than punishment. This is one of several cultures that honors the powerful gift of song as healer, usher, and anchor for the grand adventure of life!
The Deep Seed bows to the wisdom of such cultures and invites those on the path of creating new life into a sacred container of connecting to their own birthing and baby seed song. During our time together, we cultivate a deeply nourishing space in which each woman can relax into her own felt sensibilities, while offering loving guidance and support.
Our process with individuals involves meeting (either in-person or virtually), with the expectant mother for a 90-minute song-birthing session. We begin with a grounding sound bath and guided meditation to help the woman drop into her body, her baby, and her intuition. She then speaks or writes freely about what she perceives from that place. We use these words to inspire lyrics, and these feelings to inspire melody. From there, the unique song for this new soul is communally created, supporting both the pregnant mother and the child in this beloved union and journey of life.
We also offer group experiences wherein pregnant mothers gather together in nature and embark on this process in community with the support of sisterhood, Earth, and our guided support.
Note: This song birthing process is available to all parents with any gender identification.

“It was a great experience for me, even for someone that’s somewhat new to that type of activity. It was really fun how the creative portal unlocked and how you [Gina & Lesley] held the space to allow something creative to arise midst some level of unknown. We now have a precious song that our son sings to our newborn every single day." ~ Eva (perinatal mother)
