You Can Choose to Have a Pain-free Birt...

Diana Forsell Tayan
About this episode

Yolande Norris-Clark is a leader in the freebirth, birth-freedom, self-healing, and health liberation movements. She is a spell-breaker, way-shower, whistle-blower, trailblazer, and beloved guide to women all over the world who are awakening to the possibility of giving birth in peace and power.

Her mission is to dispel the myth that birth is an ordeal from which women must be “delivered,” and to share the truth that birth is primarily a spiritual experience, designed to be transformational, transcendent, and ecstatic, and that this is possible for every mother and baby.

We go DEEP. In this episode, you’ll hear us discuss:

  • Why are so many women today leaving their birth experiences traumatized
  • Coping with fear in pregnancy
  • How she had a blissful, painfree birth with her ninth baby
  • Reflections on, and lessons from, her nine births
  • Her approach to self healing, based on the work of Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
