we’re all born. and we’ll all die. and while i have mentioned previously that this podcast will be covering such topics, we’re now arriving to the first episode that touches on this.
birth matters. these precious beginning moments set the tone for our lives physically, developmentally, emotionally, etc. we live in times where much of the culture of birth is oppressive, abusive, and detrimental to mothers and babies.
for evolution’s sake, for love’s sake, we can do better. in this episode, we dive into these topics with Vanessa Brooks, a midwife in southern spain who’s really passionate about changing birth for the better.
Since the birth of her first children in her teepee, Vanessa Brooks was inspired by the magic of birth. her passion saw her accompany many women from her community through their journeys. After witnessing her first hospital birth, she realized the incredible gift those births had been… Trust in the process was deep inside. Twenty years, 100s of beautiful births, and many years of speaking internationally on birth finds her now running Da a Luz Oasis a project to return to training post modern midwives.
She still enjoys being with a few families a year, seeing inspiring gentle birth as life changing.
