The Mama Psychedelia Podcast
Mama Psychedelia is a platform to de-stigmatize the psychedelic nature of Parenthood. We celebrate stories of the role of ceremony, entheogenic allies, and the intuitive realms in every state of the parenting journey from pre-conception, postpartum, familial rites of healing and reconciliation, birth, death, and beyond. In each episode of the Mama Psychedelia podcast, we will explore and witness lived experiences of mothers, healers, birth keepers, and ceremonial facilitators. And in the process, open the space for the expansive transformation that these ways can bring in to any human life.This platform is a home for education, de-stigmatization, and enrichment through conversations that center intuition, ancestral guidance, and medicines of the earth. This is not a space to persuade, prescribe or preach.This is, however, a space for radicalism, sovereignty, and enlightening, thought-provoking discussion. One for storytelling, breaking taboos and to share personal truths that shed light on the magic & healing that can come through the childbearing continuum. My invitation while you listen to these stories is that you allow yourself to access your deepest inner knowing, and that you open yourself to connection with the ancestors that walked before us, and to collaborate with them in all you chose to do. My wish is you can recognize the unshakeable truth that exists within you. Please do what you wish with the insight I trust you will receive in every episode of Mama Psychedelia. We are not licensed medical or mental health professionals — nothing said here is medical advice. We don’t promote or advocate for the use of illegal substances; we simply wish to hold space for education, harm reduction, and medicine work that have long histories of use in cultures worldwide.

12. Spirit Baby Bonds & Meditative Medicine -Alexandra Pellatt
In this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview one of dear friends Alexandra Pellatt, it’s such a joy to release stories of people that I hold so dear to my heart, and that have moved me deeply in my life. Alexandra is a mama, holistic Doula, fertility support practitioner, and movement educator. We met in our first holistic Doula training together about 4 years ago, and bonded over our love for babies, birth and beyond. In Alexandra’s episode, we talk spirit baby communication & connection, communion with spirit children that do not come through in the physical, lose that choose to leave a pregnancy and not incarnate, and those that return to come into human form. We talk about her conscious conception and deep pregnancy journey with her son Sebastian, and her two previous pregnancies with babies that did not come through. Alex shares her experience of having a very inward meditative labour & birth, how her son’s energy grounded her into having a deep practice with meditation & hypno-birthing practices in pregnancy. We talk about the death and rebirth that comes with stepping into parenthood, how the postpartum time can be nourishing with the support that is needed to allow for this. We talk about breastfeeding and the high of Oxytocin. We talk about miscarriage and the stigma it carries and how we can better show up and support for this initiation and loss that is far too come and often isolating.
This conversation brings a depth and a lightness to these topics that are sacred and I am so grateful you get to tune in.
