Undisturbed Birth, Birthrights, Informed Consent, and the Power of Your Voice with Anna the Spiritual Midwitch: Ep 96

Today, we are thrilled to have Anna, @thespiritualmidwitch, joining us on the show.

Anna is a former midwife, woman's work facilitator, yoga teacher, and coach. For over a decade, she has been holding space for women in circles and one-on-one sessions, guiding them and their families through the transformative rite of passage that is birth.

Anna blends her deep understanding of the physiological and spiritual aspects of birth in her work as a spiritual midwife and mentor, offering courses and coaching through her Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship Program.

In our conversation, Anna shares her journey from working in hospitals and birth centers to becoming an educator and change-maker, advocating for natural physiological birth and exposing the over-medicalized maternity system that often leads to birth trauma.
