In this episode, I sit down with my midwife to explore what midwifery care truly looks like and why home birth can be a safe option especially for low-risk pregnancies. We talk about how she determines who’s a good candidate, what holistic care means from prenatal through postpartum, and the role of movement and body awareness for smoother births. She also debunks common myths, happens in an emergency, how midwives are highly trained in complicated birth situations—and shares how emotional support at home shapes the birth experience. And so much more! If you’re curious about home birth or want a deeper look at women’s health beyond the hospital, this conversation is for you!
