I'm a Naturopathic Doctor and have always envisioned a home birth for myself. One that was UNMEDICATED and NATURAL.   

But life has a way of working in its own way and I got to practice the art of letting go of control with a side of empowered informed decision making at the hospital.  

Here's my story - I hope this inspires you to advocate for yourself as well. 

Stay tuned for follow up videos on how this experience affected me and what it took to process it.   

I'll also be posting more videos on my experience during pregnancy so stay tuned for that!

In this episode I go over the physical, mental, and emotional shifts as I transition into motherhood. I talk about how my thyroid was affected and I had to go on medication for the first time in my life, listening to my heart while making my decision, and my symptoms thus far.   

I talk a lot about my complete journey in a recent blog post.

I am also completely booked in terms of new patients for the rest of the year and will be taking maternity leave starting December 17, 2021 until April 4, 2022. However, I am so grateful to have two wonderful doctors who started to work with us at Mahan Health that can help you achieve your health goals.
