In this episode of the Holistic Pregnancy Podcast, Taylor is joined by Moran Liviani, a doula and childbirth educator with nearly 14 years of experience, to explore how trauma, both birth-related and non-birth-related, can shape a woman’s labor, birth, and transition into motherhood. 

Moran shares her own journey through a traumatic first birth, followed by two deeply healing experiences that transformed her relationship with birth and her body. Together, Taylor and Moran discuss how unprocessed trauma, fear, and subconscious patterns often surface during labor, why birth is largely a mental and emotional experience, and how women can prepare holistically for birth, not just physically.

This conversation is for anyone who:

• Has experienced a traumatic or disappointing birth
• Feels fear or anxiety around giving birth again
• Wants to understand how trauma lives in the body
• Is preparing for birth and wants to do the deeper emotional work
• Supports birthing women and wants a trauma-informed lens
