    “THIS was how Birth was Meant to Be”

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Liz. Liz is a mama of 3 from the US She is a sonographer who started out with the standard american medicalized hospital birth story with pitocin, broken waters, epidural, and finally a vacuum birth that really affected her pelvic floor. For her second, she knew she wanted something different. She educated herself about natural birth and found the natural birth podcast. At this point, she still didn’t feel confident enough to not birth in the hospital, but was determined to have a natural birth. And even though she was only at the hospital 2 hours before her baby was born, she still had her waters broken with coached pushing guided by the doctor without any reason, which was enough to change the description of her birth from blissful (which she felt at home) to not how she wanted her birth to go. By her third baby, she was ready to fully commit to a birth with privately practicing midwives in a birth center. And THIS was how birth was meant to be according to Liz.

    Kaela's Positive Home Birth Story with a 3rd degree Tear & Transfer

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kaela. Kaela is a mama of one from Australia. In today’s episode she shares about her empowering and natural home birth that turned into a hospital transfer as she had a 3rd degree tear. Hospital transfers and tears are the 2 biggest fears amongst pregnant mamas and especially you who listen to this podcast. So what better way of facing those fears than by listening to a mama who had, according to herself, the most empowering birth even though she had both one of the bigger tears that only around 5% of women get and a hospital transfer from her home birth. People usually assume I think a natural birth through and through is the be all and end all because I am a huge advocate about educating about natural physiological birth and the benefits of it. But if you’ve listened to me for any length of time you know this is not true, and if you’re a student or mentee of mine you know it even deeper. I’m all for education in pregnancy and optimizing body, mind and soul for your desired birth outcome which I believe mostly have to do with inner work, facing fears and deeply getting to know your body, baby and having a relationship with your intuition. Once the first contraction hits you are now to surrender to the great mystery of birth. And a positive birth experience is not necessarily a natural one. Not holding on to a certain outcome for your happiness is so important and trusting that there is wisdom in the way you birth even if it’s not the way you wanted it. We can learn so much about ourselves, our babies, our deep hidden patterns and allow birth to awaken us, transform us and enlighten us instead of feeling like failures if it didn’t end up being exactly as we wished. I love that Kaela only have positive proud feelings around her home birth where some might have felt the opposite having had a 3rd degree tear and transfer. I hope her story and how she navigated her tear and transfer is inspiring to you and also might release some fear around these two occurring in your birth.

    Sarah shares her 4th Natural Birth Center Birth on the Podcast

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Sarah! Sarah is our biggest fan and have listened since the beginning 6 years ago soon, and during this time had 4 babies and always come on the show to tell us all about them and this her fourth and final baby. This 4th birth was totally different in that it did not follow her usual pattern of having prodromal labour first. Her fourth baby had his own agenda and came fast and furious. Sarah almost didn’t make it to the birth center where she birthed him only 21 min after they arrived. Want to work with Anna or join The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship?

    Awakening to her Good Girl through her first Birth & Stepping into her Sovereign Woman Birthing her Second.

    Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Malou Malou is a mama of two from the Netherlands and the co-founder of Natural Heroes, which she runs together with her partner Nevil, the father of her two children. She is the head of R&D and a formulator, so her daily life is all about blending science, plant-based ingredients, and a very intuitive approach to wellbeing. That same blend of intuition and research shaped how she approached becoming a mother. She’s had two vaginal births, but they couldn’t have been more different. Her first birth was meant to be a natural, physiological experience at home, but it eventually became a medicated hospital birth. Looking back, that birth taught her a lot about her own good girl tendencies, about support, self-trust, and how things can unravel when the environment doesn’t fully align with what you need. It was challenging and transformative in ways she only understood later. Her second birth, only 15 months later, was the complete opposite.. the most freeing, powerful, intuitive experience of her life. It unfolded in three hours and felt like a deep reclamation of everything that didn’t go the way she hoped the first time. It was fast, intense, and profoundly healing. She moved through it with clarity and strength and it reshaped her entire relationship with birth and motherhood. That contrast, the rupture of the first birth and the liberation of the second, is what we talk about on the podcast today. Both births were rites of passages in their own way, and together they tell the story of how she’s grown, healed, and stepped into motherhood. Curious about Malou?

    Witnessing Miracles for a Living - Step into the Magical Birth Portal with Me

    Welcome dear heart to step into the magical birth portal with me. The 3 a.m. phone call. The quiet preparation with butterflies in my tummy. The drive through the dark. The candlelit living room where time seems to stand still and a new life enters the world. Join me as I share an intimate glimpse into the rawness, beauty and awe of witnessing birth as a rite of passage. Of being invited into one of the most powerful thresholds a woman and family will ever cross. Of holding space for the mystery, the intensity, the surrender, and the miracle of life unfolding. This episode is a love letter to physiological birth and to the women who birth the new generation. It’s also a reflection on the deep honour and responsibility of those of us who walk beside them in that moment. And if, as you listen, something stirs in you. A remembering. A curiosity. An inner knowing that you may be called to support women and families through the birth portal one day. This episode also holds an invitation. Applications are open for the Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship beginning January 26th, 2026. A year-long, in-depth journey into becoming a grounded, skilled, intuitive sacred space holder for women.
