Many women desire to reconnect with their body and natural instincts through natural birth. Unfortunately, the American culture (and most mainstream cultures) do not teach young women about any natural ways to care for their bodies and, in fact, teach that the body and childbirth cannot be trusted. In this podcast by Rachel Mans, Doula and The NaturalBirth Site, co-hosted by Tiffany Muniz, we explore all aspects of natural, physiological birth, as well as natural pregnancy and early postpartum. Our topics are inspired by a range of evidence, the wisdom of our ancestors, and traditional cultures. Many topics will help you to trust your body, your baby, and all of the wise women who birthed before you. We will talk with midwives, doulas, chiropractors, health professionals, and anyone else involved in birth work. The goal is to help you become educated and trust the birthing process so you can have the most empowering, educated, and beautiful pregnancy, birth, & postpartum possible!

Transition & Pitocin w/ Corinne Brown from Love Your Labor
Transition is the hardest time during most labors, but it is much easier to cope with if you know that ahead of time & are prepared with a good mindset!
Pitocin is a very common intervention during labors, but it is not as safe as most doctors make it sound. And it is NOT the same as your natural oxytocin hormone.
Learn this & more in this episode w/ Corinne Brown!

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
So informative and interesting to listen to other women’s stories. I had my own crazy brith fo my son. Glad I’m not alone. Bri
Wasted my time
I listened to the Pelvic Floor episode and it was a big waste of time. It was just a long advertisement for the guest Brooke K. No practical advice was given.
Perfect for my pregnant friends!
I have several family members and friends who are pregnant right now. Several of them are first-time moms. This is a great resource for them as they start their journey and want a more natural approach to pregnancy! Thank you!
