EPISODE 111: Natural Birth With Nathan Riley
Natural birth embraces the belief that the female body is perfectly designed to give birth and that the process can be safe and empowering when allowed to unfold without unnecessary medical interventions. It involves a combination of physical and emotional preparation, support from healthcare providers, and the willingness of the mother to trust her body's innate abilities. In this episode, Joel, Emily, and Dr. Nathan Riley discuss different approaches to having Natural birth. While every birth experience is unique, natural birth offers women the possibility of embracing the inherent strength and beauty of the birthing process.
