Behind the name

Rooted because pregnancy and motherhood force us to tap into what has always been woven into our being and firmly planted within us. To nurture, to find the strength when we don’t feel like we can give anymore and to make the tough decisions. All of these have been deeply rooted within us since the beginning. Instincts because during pregnancy and childbirth the mother’s instincts that have always lived inside her come to the forefront. The ability to know in their gut, mind and soul what their baby and body need to do. These instincts should always be trusted and respected.

“Your body is not a badly designed machine. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth…even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body”
