In this deeply nourishing episode of the Embodied Mother Podcast, Genna shares the powerful story of her transformation from medical student to intuitive mother, her journey through two sovereign births, and the deep spiritual awakenings that unfolded along the way. 

Genna and Laura explore themes of autonomy, embodied trust, gestation past 40 weeks, ancestral healing, and the unseen forces guiding us—like mermaid and Neptune energies.

Genna opens up about navigating the path from allopathic medicine to alternative healing, how Kundalini yoga and Kabbalah supported her journey, and the power of pausing to meet fear with compassion. This episode is a medicine bundle for mothers, birth workers, and women reclaiming their intuitive knowing.

✨ Themes: sovereign birth, intuition, spiritual initiation, gestation past 40 weeks, mothering as medicine, feminine wisdom, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Kabbalah, trust, surrender.

Connect with the sacred, hear Genna’s wisdom, and be reminded of the beauty in birth and becoming.

Genna is a wife and mother to two young boys, with a background as an occupational therapist who went on to study medicine before stepping away partway through to follow a deeper calling — one that blends science and soul. She is a devoted student of Kundalini Yoga (and trained as a teacher), Kabbalah, homeopathy, flower essences, and pre- and perinatal psychology. Genna weaves these threads into her daily life, mothering, and mentorship. She is passionate about the primal continuum — from preconception through early motherhood — as a gateway for profound personal growth and generational healing.
