#48: Being Versus Doing When Attending Birth with Birthkeeper Ali Coulas

Kat’s Birthkeeper Ali Coulas joins us today. We learn about her spiritual path to becoming a Labor & Delivery nurse as well as what led her out of the system and into the sovereign birth world, where Kat was her first sovereign birth she attended. We venture to answer questions like: What does it actually mean to “hold space” for women? How can birthkeepers hold just enough space without encroaching too closely on a woman or just being a distant fly on the wall?How do yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies manifest themselves in labor and birth, and what does this mean for the type of birth we can expect to experience?We also delve into Kat’s false pre-eclampsia diagnosis which Ali discovered after reviewing Kat’s medical records from her first birth. You won't want to miss this! Unfortunately, birth sabotage happens all the time in the system, and you get to hear a few stories of this blatant practice in today's episode. Connect with Ali at @mindbodywomb on Instagram!Support the showTHANKS TO SPONSOR:Wild Nutritionist!Use code MOTR to save 35% off Mama Baby Biome Method AND First Foods PlanStay Connected With Me:Subscribe to Moms Off The Record on YouTubeJOIN THE MOTR PRIVATE COMMUNITY here Book a potty training 1:1 consult with me hereDiscount codes & links to my favorite courses and products hereLove Moms off the Record?
