An OB Nurse Anesthetist Wakes Up to the Truth of the System and Her Power and Intuition | Courtney's Story

WISE WOMEN DIARIES

Courtney (@_holisticourtney) a mother of four and a nurse anesthetist, shares her journey of finding her intuition and how it impacted and changed every aspect of her life. She explains her personal evolution: how her controlling, abusive childhood impacted her nervous system, lack of connection and trust with her body, and her menstrual cycle, so she turned to IVF to conceive her first child, but she almost died from the process. Courtney had a beautiful, empowering first birth and intentionally chose to birth unmedicated, even though she provides epidurals for her career! During her second birth, experiencing a horribly, demeaning doctor, awoke her passion for advocating for women. She shares stories of witnessing medical professionals making decisions based on fear rather than trust in the body's natural processes. Courtney eventually decides to leave her job at the hospital and have a home-birth for her fourth child!
