A Fathers Testimony
As a first time father, I did not know what to expect, how to react to expectation, or how to live in the moment while my queen was expecting. This was a mental, physical and spiritual challenge that was disproportionate to my life experience, as eth would be to any new parent. That being said, EVERYTHING changed when TLC Mama's came to our rescue. Yes! Rescue!
The toughest battle was knowing that I was about to be the provider and protector of the most delicate of Elohyim's creation. A living child! I had thought and planned out how I was going to argue against family about no hospital and pharmaceutical dogma, no vaccination shots... the works. As a Man on a spiritual journey, I had come face to face with the music I was so eager to play, and yet I had never felt so unprepared.
Enter TLC Mamas' Sophiah Hands of Wisdom. Elohyim Bliss you Queen SeaStar.
I Will to highlight that I was ignorant in my effort to be prepared and not scared. Sophiah came to Kenya to provide Righteous home birth service, which was to the best of my memory, her 21st mission. This was the beginning of a profound learning experience and her presence was truly a stimulus for self discovery.
TLC Mamas is an establishment of focus. We are used to seeing and hearing about doctors and midwives being praised for their ability to oversee and conduct safe births. All due respect goes out to all birth attendants. However, TLC Mamas is not just a group of birth attendants with first aid know-how. Sophiah came in advance, and began to prepare us Mentally, Physically and Spiritually through daily guidance, to enable us to transition from consorts to loving parents. Believe eth or not she took eth upon herself to be a relationship counsellor, gynaecologist’, traditional birth attendant, and an honest guide from experience. I cannot emphasize enough how important this level of preparation is, and I cannot empathize enough with the scores of parents that have no clue about the existence of this necessity.
Without me reaching out for help, Sophiah came with an entire baby shower in her luggage. I Am talking diapers, a whole lot of diapers, onesies, head covers, blankets, birthing tools such as sterile gloves, a birthing pool, air pump, essential oils, sitz baths, things I cannot name or describe accurately that she anticipated we would need to bring forth our child. Some she got from mobilizing an avenue for donations, some she brought all by herself... All, a huge, HUGE blissing.
She got accomodation for us all at the Coast of Kenya, where we stayed for almost 2 Months, fasted together for 7 days (not with the expectant MaMa Lol), and built trust and faith in Elohyim and each other. This period instilled the confidence that this was Elohyim's plan for us, and confidence to observe and preserve the purity of childbirth. Needless to say, our Sun came forth by day at 6:07am October 26th 2019, Healthy and Wealthy of the blissings of Elohyim.
I could go on in detail to try and explain how grateful I Am for TLC Mamas, for Sophiah and all TLC Mamas birth attendants, though this is not the purpose of this testimony. My Will is that anyone who would read these words, will know that Elohyim has instruments of Life on Earth. This is what TLC Mamas is to me, especially as a musician of 13+ years. The song of life is carried through these Righteous Wombmen, and they sing in harmony with nature. I feared my new born being drugged beacause of the fear of society. Fear begets fear. I feared for my queens safety. All I did was fear. TLC Mamas gave me hope, and if there is anything I can give in return, is to sing and proclaim the song of life that Sophiah and all TH other Righteous queen who guided us through our journey, taught us.
A Real Lifeline can only be extended by original Bloodline.
Life = Blood.
THankh Yah for TLC MaMas.
THankh Yah for Hands of Wisdom.
Gratitude from a growing Father.
13Love

I have to admit, 3years ago as a first time soon to be mom, I was pretty shook up by the stories I heard from my aunties, cousins and acquaintances about birthing and motherhood. Many narrated trauma, extreme pain and anguish and the hardship of being a mom: some to a point at which they don't want to get pregnant again.
I already knew I didn't want to birth in a hospital where you are crowded in one place and not given the best personal care or concern. I had heard about home birthing and resonated with et so much, this is how I came into contact with Sophiah, through my fellow pregnant Cuzzo, Olivia.
From the get go, she was so kind, engaging and genuine.
✓The questionnaire you first fill not only helps them with insight on ones/ my thoughts, beliefs &values, practices and expectation but et also made me aware of things to expect or would need to prepare for esp. as a first timer.
✓She connected me with other birthing assistants she works with at TLC mamaz who were able support systems for my physical, mental, and spiritual well being, all this prior to us ever meeting.
✓ She was gracious enough to leave the comfort of her home and children and travel to another continent and foreign country to assist the birthing.
✓ She focused on the connection she and I were making all for my comfortability, to be able to have a trusting environment during the birthing
✓She was gentle and kind, tough yet thoughtful. Assisting with meals, rescs and letting go of stress, worry and old baggage so as to be light and open and free for this experience.
She helped me built my courage and confidence up in myself, to know that I can and will do this.
✓ She assisted me in enabling the people I wanted around during birthing and after to be there.
✓During the Actual Birthing Day, she helped create an ambiance that was soothing and relaxing for me and the beybey.
-From a clean warm uncluttered and private space
- Candles and soothing music
-well organised materials, mats , birth pool, towels, antiseptics, drinking water bouncing ball etc
- Affirmations and palils
-Her calming and supportive presence
✓ She was resilient enough to wait on me the whole 7hours that my contractions took.
✓ She inquired what I needed and what positions naturally felt like being in, never pressuring but reassuring.
✓We danced, sang , humm, hugged, moaned and paliled together through and through.i never felt like giving up as I was so enabled and supported to know I could do this.
I gained a whole new perspective on pain and how we receive et and flow with et.
She encouraged me not to fight myself but be open and let my body do what she needs to... work with myself.
-Sure enough I was able to bring forth a beautiful and healthy baby girl and go ahead and do a lotus birth.
✓ Sophia cleaned up after me without any complaints and prepared to receive moor guests even though all of us were tired.
✓ She stayed with me thru healing teaching me how to use the bath sitz and probiotics and Anu beybey care e.g latching, blanket wrapping , beybey soothing and burping etc. Steps very much needed for anu mom.
✓ She was able to stay 2months and assisted the birth of my Seastar, 40 days later, who successfully brought forth a beautiful and healthy baby boy all in the same house.
- All I can say is THANK YAH THANK YAH 13.
✓ Et was a labor of 13Love, she went above and beyond her call of duty and enabled me to have a very spiritual experience during birthing which strengthened me and created such a beautiful bond with my beybey from the get go. This non-trauma helps lessen the chances of any post partum depression.
✓Et was truly a memorable experience
- I can comfortably say iam not afraid of child birth and see I can do this however times Elohyim blisses and allows me to.
I palil that she can be able to gift as many awaiting mother's as possible the same beautiful experience in such a sensitive time of their lives. The work she does is divine and noble and very necessary.
