Pregnancy at 46 with Healing, Nutrition & Spiritual Practices

027. At 46 years old, Heidi embarked on a deeply intentional and spiritual journey to welcome her third child. As a shamanic practitioner, clairvoyant, and doula, she brought a unique holistic perspective to her pregnancy, focusing on deep womb healing, acupuncture, and specialized nutrition to support her body at 46. In this episode, Heidi opens up about the profound emotional work required to prepare for this planned pregnancy, including how she navigated the fears following a previous experience with postpartum psychosis and her commitment to healing past birth trauma before conceiving her miracle baby.

The journey continues through the realities of her birth experience, where Heidi shares the raw details of her hopes for a VBAC and the eventual shift to an emergency C-section followed by gallbladder surgery. She discusses the power of surrender and how her spiritual practices allowed her to find peace even when her birth plan took an unexpected turn. Whether you are interested in holistic fertility support—from womb massage to herbal medicine—or you are looking for inspiration on how to mentally and spiritually prepare for motherhood in your mid-40s, Heidi’s story is a beautiful testament to the resilience of the female spirit and the power of a conscious pregnancy.
