I can’t remember the last time I devoured a book so quickly 😆

I love, love, LOVE Ina May and am so deeply grateful for her light in this world.

I felt pretty confident in my body and my body’s ability to give birth naturally, but honestly still had some lingering fears..

Ina May’s ‘Guide to Childbirth’ and ‘Spiritual Midwifery’ put those fears to rest in a flash 💥💥

Sharing how environment and attitude play a HUGE role in how our body experience birth, the hormones at work to keep us relaxed, tuned in, and attentive throughout the experience,

how the energy and intention of others in the birthing room directly impact mom and her ability to give birth,

plus the countless stories of women who gave birth naturally, whether at home, in hospital, or in a birthing center was exacting what I needed in solidifying my natural lean towards an unmedicated and intervention-free birth experience for me and my family.

We, as a society, NEED to hear more of these stories and of what birth is SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE outside of the medical industrial complex

(which, as a reminder is FOR PROFIT here in the US)

and inside of the nurturing care, compassion, and service of TRUE midwives.

I cannot recommend this book and ‘Spiritual Midwifery’ enough !!
