Firing midwives, transmuting shadows and reclaiming power through Birth with Marissa Kirou Emilie Alexina Podcast

On the podcast this week, we have power mama Marissa Kirou heavy with her 3rd baby nearing the birth portal. Marissa shares the story of her first traumatic birth in 2017 in a hospital in Hamilton ON, how she healed and integrated the experience and prepared for the beautiful healing redemptive freebirth of her second son in 2023. We look forward to having Marissa back on the show after the birth of her third baby.
