In this birth story, Haley chats with Paige. When finding out she was pregnant, she felt called to experience birth as a full initiation into motherhood.
With the support of her doula and the practice of hypnobirthing, Paige began to shift her perception of birth from something to fear into something sacred and safe. She filled her days with affirmations, movement, and trust in her body’s design.
When faced with induction pressure at 40 and 41 weeks, Paige chose faith over fear — writing herself a letter, praying, and holding the vision of her dream birth. What unfolded was powerful and deeply spiritual: a birth marked by primal sound, & divine surrender, in the presence of her mother, husband, and doula.
In this episode, Paige shares how she manifested her birth experience in a hospital setting, how movement kept her grounded through pregnancy, and why positive birth stories and a trust in God made all the difference.
This story is a reminder that birth is not just a physical process — it’s a sacred unfolding of body, mind, and spirit, and an initiation into the wisdom of motherhood itself.

In this birth story , Haley chats with Alicia, who began her pregnancy on the conventional OB path. While the care was standard, it left her feeling anxious and unsupported.
Halfway through, she toured a birth center — and everything shifted. Her body instantly felt more peaceful, and she began learning about physiological birth and the power of women’s stories.
She shares the difference she experienced between OB and midwifery care, her reflections around genetic testing, and how she prepared herself mentally more than physically for birth.
You’ll hear how she labored at home as long as possible, met her own edges, and ultimately discovered that the best way to avoid the cascade of interventions is to be intentional about who you invite into your birth space.
This episode is a reminder that it truly matters how our babies arrive — and that trusting your body, your instincts, and your choices can make all the difference.

In this conversation, Haley chats with Sydney, her previous client, about her 2 birth stories.
Sydney's first birth was an unplanned induction which resulted in an epidural, despite having the intention of going unmedicated. She talks about the fear that was instilled in her from her medical team & how she felt unprepared in the hospital setting to advocate for herself, despite having a doula. It was after this experience that inspired Sydney to educate herself even more in the preparation for her second birth a couple years later.
Sydney's second birth was in a birth center with midwives where she able to labor on her own, be in the tub & push in the positions that felt right for her body. She highlights some of the main differences between a medicated vs unmedicated birth & shares how much easier the recovery was for her second birth.
Many women choose hospital birth for their first & despite best intentions, end up with a cascade of interventions. Sydney's story is one of triumph & determination to experience a redemptive birth, one free of interference & full of trust.
