Cradled in Calm

A sanctuary of sound for pregnancy birth and beyond

The music I started writing a little over 40 years ago, was initially inspired in the practice of meditation. But it wasn’t long after I had released the first album “Butterfly,” that I realised the application for this music had a far broader reach than initially intended.

Within only a few months of Butterfly becoming a favoured meditation music, it found its way into Tai chi and Qigong classes, Enhanced learning techniques, Massage and natural healing therapies, Pain management, Palliative care and notably, natural and mainstream Birthing.

At the time, my partner and I were starting a family. We were believers in the natural home-birth approach. This was our first birth, and there were some minor complications. As a result, we found ourselves having our baby in National Women's Hospital and mainstream care facilities. Even though it wasn’t what we had planned, it turned out to be a “blessing in disguise” due to our insistence that the music be played during the birth . . .

It was unusual to have music playing in a surgical environment, but my music was different and in the end, ‘enjoyed’ by the professional staff — and Im sure, our baby. This soon caught on with hospital staff and with other expectant mums who used the hospital facilities. Butterfly, and Songbird my follow-up release, soon became very popular. Even though our continuing births were at home, I found myself visiting National Women’s on a regular basis, delivering cassette albums!

Looking back, there have now been thousands of births, both natural and mainstream, who have used music from my catalogue to assist newly born Souls enter their life on Earth, in an easy and relaxing way. It certainly makes all the difference to both baby and to mum. Over the years I have had many people in the 30 - 40 year old age bracket approach me at performances and presentations saying that they were born to the music of Butterfly! 

So now, It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of, “Cradled in Calm"; a sanctuary of sound for pregnancy, birth and beyond. I have collaborated with good friend, colleague and supporter, Caterina Findsen who works from her business at Koru Self Development. Caterina has created the Calm Birthing, Hypnobirthing technique and she will be running classes with online courses starting very soon.
