What an incredible birth story, stories, really, Ariel shares here. So many quotable moments that you're going to want to revisit. The Wise Women of our generation are all around us, my friends. Enjoy this story from one of these wise women; one who has taken the time to learn from birth and has allowed it to transform her.

By the way, you can still take a training from Wise Woman Way of Birth. Jessica is no longer with us but her lineage lives on. If you're considering birth work, this is a beautiful starting place.

The Business of Being Born is iconic and comes up in several episodes. It's still worth checking out if you haven't already.

Find Ariel on Instagram at Nook Births and on her website.

Ariel co-hosts monthly birth circles. You can find details on her instagram page. If you're local, you're going to want to attend.
