About Ali Murphy:
Ali is passionate about wellness and how we can support the body to be well during all stages of life. Ali is trained in the discipline of Bio Dynamic Cranio Sacral through body college.
Ali is a registered Midwife who works in home birth on the east coast of Ireland. Over the past decade Ali has come to realise the importance of Bio Dynamic Cranio Sacral is supporting pregnancy, birth and the MotherBaby dyad in the postnatal period. She is a mother to four children (now all adults).
Ali saw first hand how BCST supported her during her pregnancies and births of children and the power of healing and support during their early years.
Ali believes, Pregnancy is often portrayed as a beautiful and joyful time for women. However, positive the image, some of the changes involved may be unexpected and difficult, leaving the experience charged with conflicting emotions. In addition to the physical changes a woman may often experience emotional changes due to hormonal fluctuations, possible ambivalence about the pregnancy and the uncertainty about the future.
Physical ailments can be exacerbated during the pregnancy and western women tend to be encouraged to ignore body signs and impulses to slow down which can cause increased stress levels and an increased sense of incapacity.
