Welcome back to another episode of The Mama Village, where you will hear powerful and positive birth stories and education. I am your host Ellen and today, I have the privilege of sitting down with two incredible private midwives, Tarlia and Jacinta, from Avenir Life Midwifery. Tarlia and Jacinta delve into the importance of promoting birth physiology and biological functioning. They shed light on the transformative power of giving birth at home, where mothers feel held and nurtured and are powerful as they are the absolute decision-makers in their bodies, babies, and birth. Where 1 in 3 women experience birth trauma in Australia, Tarlia and Jacinta explain how home birth promotes a positive birth experience, allowing mothers to envision and plan the birth of their dreams. We also discuss how birthing at home frees mothers from the hospital timelines and highlight the extensive support provided to mothers and families postpartum, emphasising the importance of ongoing care beyond the traditional hospital model. Through their personalised approach, Tarlia and Jacinta normalise the childbirth experience, instilling a deep sense of trust in one’s instincts and anatomy. They also emphasise the importance of holding space for the mother as they embark on this sacred journey of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I am incredibly proud of this episode and can’t wait for you to listen. So, settle in and prepare to be inspired as we explore the powerful world of home birth with Tarlia and Jacinta from Avenir Life Midwifery.   @avenir_life_midwifery Website: www.avenirlifemidwifery.com.au   If you would like to share your positive pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood story, or you have pregnancy, birth, postpartum or motherhood education to share, then please send me an email at [email protected] If you like the show, please subscribe and leave a review on your podcast platform.
