In the Pain Free Birth Podcast, your host, Karen Welton, invites you to discover the truth about how God brilliantly designed the female body for birth.
Karen is a certified doula, childbirth educator, and coach who teaches women all around the world how to give birth without pain and fear through her online courses and content.
In this show, we geek out about the hormonal physiology of birth, supernatural childbirth, bliss and ecstasy in labor, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and everything in between!
Karen interviews women around the world who share their *jaw-dropping* stories of birth at home, in the hospital, and even in the car! She interviews midwives, doctors, and experts in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum to share their unique perspectives.
We’ve been taught to view birth as scary and traumatic or an “emergency waiting to happen.” In this show, you will discover a whole new perspective of what’s possible in birth when we remove fear, stop trying to control the process, and allow the body to do what it was always created to do!
This show will challenge everything you thought you knew about birth and empower you to discover MORE with every episode!

#14 | Rebirth from Freebirth: Dr. Sarah’s Empowering Journey to Birthing HER Way
In this episode…
Birth Educator, Mother, and Chiropractor, Dr. Sarah Leahy shares with Karen how her confidence in her body’s ability to birth was shaken after her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, which led to her first birth resigning to the pressures of medical intervention and ending in an unwanted traumatic c-section.
She went on to have a life-changing freebirth (unassisted) completely on her own terms with her second, and then an empowered home birth with midwives for her third.
Dr. Sarah’s radically unique birthing experiences set her on a passionate path to advocate for informed choice and educate women everywhere that it’s the medical system that’s broken, not them!

#11 | SURPRISE…2 Babies! Elizabeth’s Peaceful Breech Twin Home Birth
In this episode…
Hospital pediatric RN turned full-time homeschooling SAHM, Elizabeth Parsons, shares with Karen how she ended up giving birth to twins (both breech!) at home after having had 3 previous unmedicated hospital births.
She recalls how the Lord intervened throughout her pregnancy to keep the second baby “hidden” in order to protect her and her family from fear and worry (especially during the unprecedented times brought by the pandemic).
In turn, her birth experience was a true testimony marked by peace and the revelation that when left alone with our God-given intuition and miraculous intentional design, women are more than capable of not only unmedicated physiological singular birth but double breech twin birth!

Nicole Neesby Episode
I’ve listened to almost every episode, but the episode with Nicole Neesby absolutely rocked my world. I recently miscarried after 3 healthy pregnancy and resonated so much with Nicole’s story. This podcast is 10/10 & can’t recommend it enough
So good!
I first found pain free birth on instagram and am so excited there is now a podcast! The principles Karen teaches really had an influence on my birth experience! She helped me not fear or expect pain in my birth. I always just took it for granted that it would be and I can say for the most part it wasn’t painful and it wasn’t in any way traumatic. I got the easy home birth I always wanted! I wish every women could know that birth is not inherently painful or something that has to be managed for you in most cases!
Love this podcast!
Let me just say that finding out this Karen started a podcast, I was just so excited to listen to it. I was looking forward to it! I’m taking the pain free course and it was the best decision I ever made!!! I would recommend it to every pregnant girl! I’m due in April and praying that I will have a pain-free birth, baby would be born peacefully and healthy and that everything goes well.
