Naolí Vinaver is a Mexican midwife who combines traditional Mexican and contemporary home birth practices, with a profound respect for the physiology of natural birth, having attended over 1800 home births in both Mexico and Brazil. Naolí is a passionate speaker and educator, teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars in over 30 countries around the world.

In this interview Naoli shares her love for the journey of expansion, discovery and transformation that every woman embarks on through pregnancy and birth. Naoli offers her fascinating perspective as an anthropologist on how the medical model of birth became the norm and invites us to consider what safety means beyond survival. Naoli gifts us a deeply holistic approach to subjects such as induction of labour and physiological birth. I absolutely adore Naoli’s ability to embrace the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of birth, and beyond, all at once.
