In this episode, I chat to my lovely doula, Amy Mongie of Souls in Motion, about home birthing. We chat about our birth stories and our decisions to have our babies at home, the South African medical model of birth, the cell memory of birth trauma through generations of women, prenatal yoga and diet, Ina May Gaskin, hynobirthing and how feeling safe during labour is the most important gift you can give a birthing woman.
