The Sacred Connection: A Journey of Gentle Transition
For nine months, they were one—a baby and the “forgotten chakra” that sustained him. When Michelle Louise welcomed her son, Otter Wilder, she chose not to sever that bond with a blade, but to let nature take its course through a Lotus Birth.

For five days, little Otter remained cradled beside his placenta, preserved with lavender and Himalayan salt, until the cord detached in its own perfect time. “It was his constant companion,” Michelle shared, opting for a path of deep spiritual intention and a peaceful transition into the world.

The journey ended with a beautiful ceremony, burying the placenta beneath an ancestral tree—a symbolic bridge between the earth, a great-grandmother’s legacy, and a new life. It’s a powerful reminder that birth is not just a medical event, but a sacred transformation.
