The Natural Birth Blog

Motherhood is a journey like no other—a wild, beautiful, and deeply transformative path. It’s a dance of love, surrender, and resilience, a meeting place between strength and vulnerability.

And birth? Birth is the gateway.

Through birth, we don’t just meet our babies—we meet ourselves.

Over the past year, The Natural Birth Podcast has been graced by the voices of incredible birthing mamas, each sharing their raw, powerful experiences.

Their stories remind us that birth is so much more than a medical event.

It’s a sacred initiation, a rite of passage, a moment that changes a woman forever.

For this year's Mother’s Day, I’ve gathered some of the most profound wisdom shared by these women.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone you love, or simply honoring the sacredness of this journey, may these words serve as inspiration, encouragement, and a reminder of the power that lives within every birthing woman.

Trust in Your Body’s Wisdom

One of the most consi...

We live in a world that has sanitized, sterilized, and systemized everything sacred.
Birth, death, menstruation, menopause—these were once guided by wise women, by midwives and healers, by aunties and priestesses.

But over generations, through colonization, control, power and greed, medicalization, and fear, these rites of passage were stripped of their meaning and no longer held as sacred or woman's business.

And with that, you—the woman who remembers—were told to forget.

To be quiet.
To get a think logically. 
To be "as good as any man".
To not be too mystical, too loud, too intuitive, too sensitive, too much.

But your soul didn’t forget.
It just waited for the right time to rise again.

The Rise of the Sacred Birth Worker is the Rise of the Wise Woman

The reason you feel this pull toward birth work isn’t because you want a new job or a side hustle.

It’s because something inside you knows this work is your lineage.

You are part of a long line of women who’ve whispered praye...

One of my favorite things to talk about is home birth. There’s something so powerful, raw, and sacred about a woman birthing in her own space—on her own terms.

For me, there is nothing more magical than being invited into someone’s home to witness the unfolding of birth in its most natural and primal form. The energy, the presence, the transformation—it’s impossible to put into words.

If you're planning a home birth—whether solo, with a midwife, or a birth support team—this blog is for you. I’m here to share what you really need to prepare: not just practically, but energetically and spiritually.

Why Home Birth is So Special

Home birth carries a unique frequency. It’s sacred. It’s yours.

In a world that so often medicalizes and manages birth, reclaiming your birth space and trusting your body is a radical act of sovereignty.

Unlike the clinical environment of a hospital, at home you're surrounded by your own energy, your smells, your things—your nervous system feels safe here....

In today’s birth culture, many women find themselves giving birth in hospitals—sometimes but not necessarily by choice, but because it feels like the only accessible or safe option.

For those who long for a natural, undisturbed birth, the hospital environment can present unique challenges. The bright lights, strict protocols, and medicalized approach can feel at odds with the intuitive, primal nature of birth.

But here’s the truth: It is absolutely possible to have a natural birth in a hospital.

The key lies in knowledge, preparation both internal and external, and unwavering trust in your body.

By understanding the hospital system, assembling a strong support team, and embodying confidence in your choices, you can create the conditions for an empowered, physiological birth—even in a medical setting.

The Reality of Hospital Birth

When you step into a hospital, you are entering a system that prioritizes efficiency, protocol, and risk management. While hospitals can provide life-...

Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most profound and life-changing experiences a woman can have. Yet, in today’s fast-paced, highly medicalized world, many women feel disconnected from the natural, intuitive power of birth.

The truth is, your body was designed to give birth.

It holds ancient wisdom that, when honored and supported, can guide you through the process in the most safe way.

A natural birth is not about avoiding interventions at all costs—it is about trusting your body, being informed, and preparing in a way that allows birth to unfold as nature intended.

The key is to support your body physically, mentally, and emotionally so that when labor begins, you feel deeply connected, prepared, and empowered.

Let's explore the essential ways to prepare for a natural birth, drawing on physiological knowledge, traditional wisdom, and intuitive practices that help you step into birth feeling strong and capable.

Choosing Your Birth Space and Support Team

Where and wi...

I get asked this a lot. 

So to answer this question I took the help of a Doula, a Midwife, a Doctor, and a Sacred Birth Worker to explore their journeys into birth work and ultimately their advice to anyone considering this Sacred Line of Women’s Business.

Let’s explore their Stories, Insights and what They would Say to anyone Considering Birth Work!

Birth Work Finds You

One of the most beautiful truths that emerged from our conversation is that birth work often finds you when you’re ready—sometimes when you least expect it. 

For some, it begins with an intense fascination with birth stories. 

For others, it’s a spiritual teacher that arrives through life experiences, offering lessons in trust, sovereignty, and connection to the feminine.

Take Marie, for example. She didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a birth worker.

In fact, her early understanding of birth was shaped by fear and the belief that birth was inherently dangerous.

Then one day, she stumbled upon a natur...

What I love about being a Sacred Birth Worker

I have witnessed birth many times as a doctor in the hospital system.

Working in the NICU, I have been there in people’s most intimate moments.

I’ve delivered the worst and the best news, faced people’s tears and joy, anger and gratitude.

Their stories touched me always, sometimes shook me to the core and brought tears to my eyes behind closed doors.

I always gave my best, but it was not personal.

I was there as a function, never as me.

Seeing me as the function is reassuring to people.

So, what I love most about becoming a Sacred Birth Worker is this complete shift in the way I do my medicine work.

Truly being with woman.

What Drew Me to Birth Work & How Did I Become a Midwife

When I first embarked on the journey of birth work in this lifetime, I used to believe the calling arrived later in my life.

But as the years unfold, I am beginning to see how much further back it truly reaches.

In fact, I now feel it like a thread weaving through the tapestry of my life—intertwining with my past, stretching into my ancestors, and carrying the echoes of many incarnations and generations of birth workers before me.

The first inklings of this path appeared in my childhood, where I was drawn to the wonders of the physiological world, guided by an innate, embodied wisdom, and a yearning to live in harmony with the vast w...

What I Love About Being a Sacred Birth Worker

I love being a sister in this work.

I love dreaming with women, romanticizing what they want for themselves, and watching them step into their own power.

I love witnessing the moment when a woman doesn’t just give birth—she births herself.

I love mothering mothers—wrapping them in warmth, in wisdom, in reminders that they, too, are held.

I love sharing evidence-based truths that would have changed everything for my own rite of passage into motherhood.

I love that I don’t clock in, and I don’t check out. This isn’t a job—it’s a way of being. A remembering. A kno...

What I love about being a Sacred Birth Worker

I love being a sacred birth Worker.

I love it even more than I thought I would when I started the mentorship.

I love the depth in sacred birth work. 

I love having lots of practical knowledge and resources as well as bringing the embodiment piece into working with women - which I feel is something that is lacking with many care providers.

I love being able to unwind big topics with women and offer them new perspectives on birth and pregnancy.

I love being able to turn questions around to them and assist them in accessing their own inner wisdom instead of needing to convince them...
