Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Sophie. Sophie is a mama of one from the UK, now living in Costa Rica.   In this episode we will hear her story of trusting the maternity care she was given as most first time mamas do and how it only created anxiety and stress, ultimately derailing her home birth to a hospital birth.   This episode will highlight the risks with ultrasounds and inform you to be aware of these as you accept the routine ones as well as the extras. They are not diagnostic!   But despite all of this Sophie had an empowering, positive and natural hospital birth with her baby girl and learned so much during this pregnancy.   She became a hypnobirthing teacher and is now furthering her education by becoming one of my mentees in the sacred birth worker mentorship program starting on the 15th of January.   I love how having a positive natural birth is what ignites a passion for birth work in so many mamas, and we need more passionate women like Sophie waking up to the reality of woman’s power and births beautiful magical design.   It’s been a magical year the last year for me as I stepped fully into the role of mentor for aspiring sacred birth workers and I feel like I’ve found my true calling.   I love being on the leading edge of the new birthing paradigm and so excited to have a newly baked cohort out in the world offering their services and another one soon to begin their journey.   I’ve poured my heart and soul and all my midwifery knowledge and embodied wisdom into this mentorship and I love all the passionate birth nerds that have joined in so far.   If you know in your heart that sacred birth work is your heart's calling then there is still room in the cohort starting in 2 weeks.   Reach out to me ASAP before the doors close.
