Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Summer.

Summer is a mama of one from the US.

She’s a somatic therapist who always knew she wanted to have a natural birth.

Her and her husband went back and forth about whether or not to have a home birth or a hospital birth and in the end Summer followed her body’s wisdom who told her she felt the most safe having her first baby in the hospital.

She ended up having a really fast first birth which, together with beautiful care providers in the hospital helped her having her natural hospital birth.

Listen to her fast natural birth story and all her pearls of wisdom on how to handle the intensity in today’s episode.

Merry Xmas & Happy New Years my Loves!

Hope your xmas was wonderful and how exciting to enter into 2025 next week!

I know I am super excited for next year. 

Not only have I got the 4th round of the Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship starting in April, where I get to hang out and mentor amazing women from all over the world in becoming sacred space holders for the most amazing rite of passage ever, BIRTH of course!

I’m also birthing a new program this year!

Starting on March 31st I am launching a Business Course for Birth Workers and I am BEYOND excited about this. 

I know way to many birth workers who are struggling to make ends meet, over giving and under charging, having to stay as a midwife in the hospital or at her office job because she can’t afford to be fully self employed.

Now I’ve gathered all the information I’ve learnt form over 10K worth of business courses and the trial and error of being self employed for 13 years. 5 of them as a home birth midwife and then sacred birth worker doing part time and now almost full time online birth work.

I’m sharing it all in my upcoming Business Course of Birth Workers… and it will all be unveiled in the new year! So Stay Tuned all you Birth Workers listening to this poddy. I know you are many. It will all be up on my website asap!

But until then, I want to remind you of my Xmas Gift that is 50% discount on my The Nourishing Postpartum Course!

The postpartum period is all to often overlooked and almost never planned for by women, even you who are wanting a natural birth. The gravity of the transition and rite of passage from maiden to mother can not be emphasized enough.

To go from being a maiden to all of the sudden being responsible for a new life and to initiate breastfeeding and learn how to care for a new born at the same time as transitioning yourself from being pregnant to being in the postpartum, sleep deprived and for many with minimal support can be a really hard transition.

It doesn’t have to be.

I wish more women took the time in pregnancy to learn the basics about baby care, breastfeeding a newborn, healing of her postpartum body  and how to set her postpartum up to be as nourishing and supported as possible.

There for, for this Christmas holiday until the 1st of January I’m offering you a 50% discount on my The Nourishing Postpartum Course.

Come join hundreds of other women in preparing for a healing, nourishing and loving postpartum period. One that set you up to thrive on all levels. Your own physical, emotional and mental health as well as your baby’s start in life.

Use the coupon code: GIFT at the checkout to receive the 50% discount. 

I pray and hope that women and those who love them start preparing and learning about the importance of the postpartum and a baby’s first few weeks earth side.

Can’t wait to meet you inside my online community and support you in your postpartum days, weeks and maybe even years.

Just use the coupon code GIFT in capital letters at the checkout for the 50% discount. Thats it GIFT in capital letters at the checkout at sacredbirthinternational.com
