My daughter's birth at home in a birthing pool
My name is Cybele MacHardy. I am a mother of two, my son is 7 and my daughter is 4. Both are wonderful, loving and vivacious children.
After having a somewhat difficult birth in a hospital on the East Coast, I decided I wanted to try something different for my second child. In England at the time, I sought out the help of National Health midwives who worked in our community. They specialized in home birth and my daughter Katja was born at home in a birthing tub. What a wonderful experience!
I am also director, photographer and editor on a film I made called ‘Gentle Birth’ for the midwifery team in England who delivered my daughter. Please navigate to the film tab on this website if you would like to have a look at the film.
I decided to get into birth services after having my daughter and making the film. Ideally every woman would feel as elated as I did after my daughter's birth. And therin lies my goal, to help as many women feel that kind of elation about birth by making sure they are informed, prepared, cared for and fully supported for their birth.
