Get a Birth Witness & Here is Why.
A side of birthing that has not been talked about much, before today... and I had goosebumps the whole time. We dive into the hows and whys a Mom would want safety, uninterruption, and at home guidance of welcoming a new babe into this world. Nya shares with us her gentle birth story in her bathroom and how it wasn't even in the location that made it a wonderful birth, but the emotional and empowered welcoming that did. We share notes of our lived experiences and how they shape our own birthing as Mothers.
