#17 How did you prepare yourself for your orgasmic births?

Giving birth is like sex, it's an intense and pleasurable experience. That's how Shirley Pavlik, a nurse and the founder of the WanderWomen Clinic (based in Haifa, Israel) feels about birth.

After a traumatic experience in hospital and loosing confidence in the medical establishment, she chose to empower herself with knowledge about the body and self-connection. She got to understand the reproductive functions of the body, tuned in with her menstrual cycles, and embraced her inner-seasons. Fertility awareness was the starting point of this journey toward her life changing experience.
