What this episode covers

Daniela Kende, holistic health coach and natural birthing expert, joins us on today’s episode. Daniela runs her coaching programs on the foundation that no one knows your body better than you do– how refreshing is that? She asks her clients to set aside their self-judgements, and give themselves permission to rebel against the rules of the popular “diets” out there. Daniela believes that by strengthening your intuition, you will begin to actually hear what your body needs. In today’s conversation, we go deep into nutrition while pregnant and trying to get pregnant– what to eat, what to pay attention to, and ultimately figuring out what works best for you. Daniela also shares her own personal pregnancy journey, her labor story, what it’s been like since her daughter was born, and the conversation around having a natural birth at a hospital. We also talk about… Taking herbs during pregnancy Morning sickness What a doula is, and why Daniela decided to use one The different trimesters in pregnancy Other lifestyle changes and adaptations that she made while pregnant The benefits of delayed cord clamping + ingesting the placenta The effect on the pelvic floor Being a part of the motherhood community Daniela’s advice for moms and mom’s to be Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
