Ep. 60 Birth as Ceremony, Not Emergency with Anna Lundqvist

What if birth was never meant to be a medical event—but a sacred ceremony of becoming?In this week’s episode of the Rewire For Birth Podcast,  we sit down with Anna from Sacred Birth International to explore how women can reclaim birth as a rite of passage—a portal of transformation connecting body, spirit, and lineage.Anna is a former registered midwife, now residing in Sweden, who left the institutional system to walk a different path: one rooted in ancient wisdom, ceremony, and deep reverence for the sacred nature of birth. Through her work with Sacred Birth International, she mentors “sacred birth workers” and guides women in preparing consciously for this life-altering initiation.✨ Inside this conversation:Why birth is a portal of power, not a medical emergencyThe ancestral calling of midwifery—and what it means to serve outside the systemHow fear, disconnection, and lack of autonomy—not birth itself—create traumaTools for empowered birthing: storytelling, fear release, self-inquiry, and connection with natureThe importance of protecting your peace, your space, and your intuitive knowingAnna reminds us that “your womb is sacred—a portal between heaven and earth connecting you with all who ever lived or will live.”It’s time to return to birth as ceremony, to remember our wisdom, and to reclaim our power as women. 🌐 Learn more at SacredBirthInternational.com 📸 Follow Anna on Instagram: @sacredbirthinternationalDownload My Birthing Meditation📲 Connect on Instagram: ⁠⁠@drcindytahhan⁠⁠⁠⁠@rewireforbirth
