    Ep: 54 Midwifery Apprenticeship UPDATE and a trusting birth when its different then "normal"

    Well I recorded this episode a hot minute ago and am just getting to uploading it. This apprenticeship has been BUSY for me so everything else has been sitting on the side lines for when I can get to it. SO here is an update! In the episode I share where I am at with the apprenticeship and Im now in my phase 3 and now catching.. however I usually help the dads or mom in catching, but this means i'm in the phase where I am the primary midwife under supervision which has been an amazing journey so far. I look forward to giving you a deeper update in a future episode! This episode I tell you about a birth I attended where they contraction pattern was not what you usually hear about and then I explain why it had to be that way! Its a great lesson to add to your tool box. Important information! The next in-person birth class will be August 26th !

    Ep: 50 First time parents Alexa and Manny's unmedicated hospital birth story!

    In this POSITIVE birth story of a first time momma and daddy we get to hear how connecting to the body and breath are crucial to help you through labor. We talk about how they prepared for birth with a breath work coach, a doula and my child birth classes. I am in awe of them and how they navigated all the unknowns of labor!  I know you're going to love it as much as I did!  Alexa's Breath work coach  Her Doula  The Birth Class

    Ep: 49 The right way to cope in labor!

    This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with an expecting momma and I really felt called to share with you what my thoughts are on the topic of coping in labor. From my experience we have a distorted view of what coping in labor looks and sounds like and it can in turn effect the way you believe your birth went and if you "did a good job" or not.  My hope with this conversation is that it opens your awareness to what your unique coping style is and allows you to be flexible and CURIOUS to how your power comes through during the intense moments of labor.  For the Seasoned parents birth class refresher click here  For the Birth Partner Cheat Sheet Freebie click here  If you loved this episode please rate and review on Spotify or Apple to help spread the word of this podcast!
