MOON LION’s RE-BIRTH STORY

According to Vedic Astrology, my calling into birth work is guided by my Leo moon. The journey began in March 2018 when I received my annual birthday Jyotish reading to align the upcoming year with my soul’s purpose. The Jyotishi shared with me that my Leo moon is in the house of hands, affirming my inclination to study and expand my knowledge of hands-on healing.

This direction led me to a Shamanic Reiki training in July 2018 to deepen my relationship with the healing power of nature. In my first journey, I closed my eyes and the face of a lion came into focus. Instantly, a lioness on the hunt burst through the face of the lion. She made her kill and dragged the animal back to her cubs for feeding. After my initiation, the teacher, without knowing my experience said, “You should know that a lion was present during your attunement.” Lion revealed itself as my animal ally.

In November 2018, an expecting yoga student had a dream that I attended her birth as a doula. She shared this vision with me before class one evening, and by the end of practice I had agreed and committed to a DONA training. I was quick to say yes because I remembered that in first grade I dressed up as an Obstetrician on Career Day. I had always wanted to be a birth worker, which inspired me into my first Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training in 2005. Her invitation into the birthing room encouraged me to trust my intuition and rise into my purpose. Through our experience together, I learned that her middle name is Leonette - little lion. She was a great teacher to me, and it was the greatest honor to support her birth in January 2019 as she re-birthed me into a birth worker.
