Show Notes
Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Fincha.
Fincha is a self proclaimed witch, doula, sound healer and soul coach, here to hold space for women as they step into their freest, wildest lives and reclaim their primal power.
I met Fincha through my online community the village and the natural birth course and as she took the business course for birth workers when she was pregnant with her second baby. Today we get to hear about her two births, her first being a long hospital birth that ended in an epidural so her body could relax and open in an environment that wasn’t helping her to do so.
Her second pregnancy she knew she wanted something different for her and her family, and she gave birth to her second son at home, in a pool in front of the Christmas tree, surrounded by her partner, doula, mother and midwife.
During her home birth, she had a vision of thousands of women standing around her, holding her. With her mother’s hands on her back, she encountered the Great Mother, and it felt like an initiation into her deepest truth.
‘Pain is the portal’ was the mantra she repeated over and over again during her home birth. And honestly, everything changed after that birth. She is truly transformed, yet somehow even more herself than ever.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Jaime. Jaime is a mama of one from the central coast of NSW, Australia. After being on the pill since the age of 15, when she got off it at the age of 21she didn’t get her period back for over a year. When seeking the conventional help the answer was, “it has nothing to do with the pill and the answer is to get back on it” Like WTF? Again in her late twenties she got back off it but this time seeked help from a naturopath and a TCM practitioner and ended up getting her period back after 3 months. After marrying her husband they both thought they didn’t want babies, but as her 30s hit that changed. And after having a fear of the pain of birth she prepared herself with coping strategies through listening to positive natural birth stories as well as diving deep into learning about natural birth and ended up coping with constant pain without fear and having her empowering natural home water birth with her husband Cian, her midwife and best friend by her side.Want to work with Anna or join The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship?
