Amber’s Easeful and Healing Homebirth Af...

Diana Forsell Tayan
About this episode

After a traumatic first birth experience that ended in a cesarean, Amber knew she would never give birth in a hospital again. She quickly conceived again, found a midwife she loved, and had a completely different experience the second time. 

In her words, this second birth not only showed her that she could do it, but that it was what she had always truly wanted. 

Be sure to check out our instagram page this week, @healingbirth, to see photos of both births. I’ve never seen a better example of Amber’s pictures saying a thousand words!
