"Birth is a transformational event, it's a rite of passage, it's an initiation. It is an event that is meant to change you. And it's meant to bring you to the very edge."

She touches on:

• Learning to care for our bodies as a part of Mother Earth

• Connecting with the goddess in birth

• A bit of her own birth story in the water

• Envisioning your most empowered birth

• Plans, gear and herbs that helped in postpartum
