As a mom of five, Katherine has personally experienced inductions, cesareans, medicated labors, and unmedicated labors. These experiences sparked a passion to support mothers through their pregnancy and birthing journey.
Katherine talks on the podcast about birth after previous C-section -- whether that's a repeat cesarean or a vaginal birth after cesarean. Either way, the goal is for you to birth in your own power, and that you make the choice that's the best for yourself and your baby.
You can connect with Katherine on social media at Made4Birth, or on her website at made4birth.com

This week, I asked my chiropractors, Sam and Brian, to come on the podcast.
Brian Curtis is a Chiropractor, husband, father, and enthusiast of all 2 wheeled vehicles. He is in practice with his wife and also travels the US providing care for riders in Motoamerica, the North American professional road racing organization.
Samantha Curtis is also a chiropractor and community builder. Her time is split taking care of patients at Cotyledon health, and homeschooling their first grader. She enjoys hiking, going on road trips, and seeking out the best food an area has to offer.
