S6 EP177: Ellêna Hall: Homebirth + Freebirth: Navigating Birth Trauma and Deep Healing
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ellêna, who shares her two births at home - each unique, each powerful in its own way. From once believing that birthing outside the hospital was unthinkable, to birthing both her babies at home, Ellêna's journey is full of moments that highlight how much birth can teach us - not just about our bodies, but about what it means to back ourselves completely.She reflects on the strength it took to advocate for herself during her first labour - an experience that taught her to trust her voice and stand firmly in what she knew she needed. That inner knowing became her anchor as she navigated a tailbone injury during her second pregnancy, and a labour that defied expectations. With surges that remained spaced apart, she was left questioning what was really unfolding, until her baby arrived in the most peaceful way. Through it all, Ellêna story is a beautiful reminder that birth isn’t about control - it’s about trust.Show Notes:Instagram: @ellenaaaResources: She Births

Her water birth was everything she had envisioned - intense, empowering, and deeply transformative.In today’s episode, Elise shares how mental preparation shaped her birth, the tools that helped her through labour, and the unforgettable moments she shared with her mother, who flew from Scotland to be by her side as she welcomed her daughter earthside.Show Notes:Instagram: @elisecoxHypnobirthing: @flowbyemmaAccpunture: @melissachiversacupuncture Pilates: @mode.pilates Photography: @irisandmeOther Resources: The Great Birth Rebellion Podcast

Today’s guest, Grace, shares her incredible journey through motherhood, from becoming a first-time mum at just 21 to now preparing for the birth of her third baby. In this episode, Grace takes us through her two beautiful birth centre experiences - one with a tiny, slow-to-arrive firstborn and another with a fast, intense labour that brought her a 4.2 kg baby. She opens up about navigating pregnancy loss, overcoming fears passed down through generations, and the process of turning inward - learning to trust herself more deeply as she prepares for this next birth.While she’s still on that journey, working through doubts and the unknowns, Grace’s reflections remind us that birth isn’t just about bringing a baby earthside - it’s about discovering ourselves in the process.Show Notes:Instagram: @graciee_madaleneYoga: @pamelawalker.yoga
