Today on the Natural Birth Podcast we have Amanda. Amanda is a mama of 2 from Texas. She’s a birth photographer, birth assistant, doula and placenta encapsulator and a secretary and social media coordinator for a birth center. She says that she is blessed to mostly work from home and have the ability to homeschool her daughter. In todays episode we get to hear about her two birth stories. The last one I saw powerful photos of on Instagram where Amanda was squatting in such a primal powerful position birthing her baby and I just had to reach out and say ”Hey do you want to share your story on the poddy”, and here she is doing just that.
