Birth: Through the Veil

Dr. Bronwyn Hunt, a perinatal certified chiropractor, discusses her upcoming book on the three P's and three V's of baby making. The three P's refer to power, passage, and passenger, while the three V's represent villain, victim, and victor. This is the path forward for ultimate personal responsibility in birth and in life. It's the way to freedom and sovereignty. We get into the power of music, frequency, and intuitive somatic work. So many juicy details inside.

What is the value of a wise woman at your birth? What do they bring? What should they bring? This conversation moves through the layers of why we invite wise women and what midwifery / wise woman care is all about.

Embracing "both" + "and", the nuance of it all with Registered Midwife, Mandy. Mandy was one of my midwives during my second pregnancy. Our conversation ranges from accountability in licensure, fawning to authority, saviour complexes in birth work, burnout, true prenatal care, and medicinal plants and herbs. Mandy is always eloquent and oh so knowledgable. If you don't already, go and follow her instagram accounts where she shares so much valuable information and throws in life and humour -- its the perfect social media decoction. You'll love it, and you'll love this conversation.

Siân is a mother of 4 daughters and long-term holistic doula who has devoted herself to bringing initiations, in particular birth, back to the home and hearth, pioneering for the decolonization and radicalization of both platonic and romantic relationships, birth, death, sex and all blood rites.

With shared care, community counsel, respect for eldership and re-centring of matriarchy as her deepest values, Sian is dedicated to sitting as wise woman to pregnant people and also offers mentorship to other doulas who have heard the call to protect and uphold the primitive blueprint of pregnancy birth and postpartum.

Incorporating energy medicine, ancient rituals and folk herbalism into her work, all of which she offers to her community, are practices that she used to stay aligned with the anti-capitalistic ethos that healing can mostly be earth based, simple, sacred and yet attainable to all.

She is currently at the beginning of her second year-long mentorship with a group of mentees and offers 1-1 guidance to those who want to expand their knowledge and get guidance around holding space for transformative experiences, birth and beyond.
