The Natural Birth Podcast

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Sinead. Sinead is a mama of one from Australia. She is an energy healer and mentor, working with women to feel safe in their feminine and embody more flow in their life.  She holds space for cacao ceremonies and mother blessings in which she infuses her deep ancestral connection to her lineage and encourages women of the importance of connecting to their red thread.  Now a mother of her son Aizen (eye-zen) she hopes to create more spaces for mothers to connect within and slow down.  Sinead had connected with the spirit of her baby 2 years before he came. He guided her on the emotional and mental healing and preparation that she needed to grow him, birth him and now nurture him as his mother.  She got a clear go ahead sign from him when in Bali and conceived that cycle. She went on knowing she wanted a home birth and had a fast birth for a first time mama, a total of 7.5 hours of labour and birth with her waters breaking as the initiator of labour.  First baby, no complications, no tears and pure bliss is what she wrote to me and she loved her birth and the places it guided her to within. It was quicker than she thought it would be and the second midwife didn’t make it, but it was lovely with just a close friend, her partner and one midwife. It was the most embodied and empowered she’s ever felt in her whole life! Curious about Sinead?

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Cynthia Cynthia is a mama of two from the US and popular podcast host of the Down to Birth Podcast. She went from being a business executive and finance professor who knew nothing about birth to pregnant after one try, and faced a huge fear of birth. All the women in her surroundings and at her work had C/S while she knew she wanted a natural birth. Her OB was all red-flags which she will tell us all about. She finally fired her, changed her birth plan from hospital to birth centre, and changed her life.  She’s here to tell us about her two amazing births. Her first at the birth center and her second at home together with her now podcast cohost midwife Trisha.  Having these amazing births she became a birth nerd and later on an internationally published and renowned birth educator and informed choice advocate.  Curious about Cynthia?

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Faith. Faith is a mama of one from California, USA. She is a fellow midwitch who’s chosen to work outside of the regulatory system and we found out just before starting the recording that we share a dear sister in common, Midwife Sophia, my Sacred Birth Worker Mentee on Corfu Greece. Faith apprenticed for 9 months with Sophia. You might have heard Sophias episode ”Holistic Midwife Sophia & Her 3 Natural Births” earlier this year on the poddy, and if you haven’t I highly recommend you do as she too is such a wealth of natural birth magic and wisdom. At the age of 16, Faith experienced a powerful dream that brought her to sit with women in birth. She started after graduating high school by volunteering as a doula at her local hospital. She also became a hospice nurses assistant and sat with the dying while still attending births whenever she could. This was a time of “living at the threshold of all things” and she came to recognize that death and birth require similar things: respect, deep trust, and total surrender.  In the years following Faith collected many skills, attended several educational trainings and has taken up many different roles such as: midwives assistant, herbalist, massage therapist and bodyworker, priestess, professional seamstress and designer, yurt builder, artist and more.  After 2 early losses, her pregnancy was an ancestrally powerful one and full of preparation for the initiation of birth and motherhood. Her 17 hr labor brought her to kiss the face of the Goddess, as she danced, sang, screamed and roared her daughter, Minerva Moon, through the threshold and into the loving hands of her husband while Faith’s mother supported her the whole time.  Faith is so proud to have given birth at home and undisturbed and feels that through birth she has been given the gift not only of her beautiful daughter but the deep knowing that she can do anything. Faith is also opening the School of Sovereign Midwifery beginning with a 3 day midwifery skills workshop in March 2025! Curious about Faith?
