June 11, 2025Birth As A Portal with Doula Natasha June
What does it mean to treat birth as a portal: one of transformation, intuition, and magic?

In this episode you’ll learn:
Why birth is a transformational portal—even for those who don’t give birth
How to cultivate and trust your intuition during pregnancy and parenthood
The emotional and spiritual layers of preparing for birth
What doulas really do (and why their support matters)
The importance of informed care and advocacy, especially for BIPOC birthing people
Natasha June is a Los Angeles–based Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Vaginal Steam Facilitator, Herbalist, and Placenta Specialist. She found her way to birth work after becoming a mother herself. Natasha works in both private practice and through the AAIMM Doula program, supporting birthing people across Los Angeles County. Her work focuses on reproductive justice, informed care, and the need for strong support before, during, and after birth—especially in response to the disparities that impact BIPOC and Black maternal health. She believes our perinatal care system must evolve to fully honor the mind, body, and spirit of those bringing new life into the world.
