I’m so happy you found your way to Bija. This collective has been many years in the making for me and has definitely been a labor of love.
As a doula and an integrative wellness practitioner, I constantly found myself wanting more out of the traditional childbirth prep classes and typical support groups I found. Even more, through my own fertility journey, I couldn’t find a place where I felt honest connection and holistic support in the process of trying to have a baby.
I kept asking myself: where did the magic go in all of this?
I’ve personally felt and witnessed a void in the support women have when trying to conceive, navigate pregnancy and birth, and in the supremely tender postpartum period. There is a lack of connection, tools for grounding, a way of moving through life with intention and love - especially self-love! With Bija, I hope you find all those things and more.
The Pathways, and really everything I’ve built in Bija, is truly to serve and support those in the deepest depths of their experiences. You’ll see we offer a lot of amazing educational resources within all of our courses - led by vetted and trusted women. But, we also offer something more - something that sets us apart. We offer soul work. We gently push you to peel back those hardened protective layers to reveal a softer version of you - the Mother. The journey from maiden to mother is a tough but beautiful one.
Bija (Bīja) translates to seed. In Hinduism and Buddhism it is used as a metaphor for the origin of things. I hope Bija is the seed to help you bloom on your journey to motherhood.
As women, we are the origin of things.
With love,
