If I could've bottled up the aroma of incense and essential oils, smooth neo-soul tunes, and the overall vibe at this birth and plastered it on the screen for everyone to relive - I would! It was intoxicating and I inhaled every bit of it!
While I couldn't use any of the amazing songs played on the speaker at this birth, it was my intention to choose a track for this family's film that replicated the ambiance of their birth space.
This mama's village was in full support of her throughout her labor and birth. It was magical to watch.
