Em’s Birth Story: Kai’s Chosen Timing- A Sovereign & free Homebirth

Today I sit down with the beautiful Em, a Mumma from my community who birthed her first baby, Kai, at home in March 2025.

Call it a homebirth, sovereign birth, freebirth, or unassisted birth, whatever words feel right, but for Em and her husband Craig, it was about creating a birth that was deeply intentional, aligned, and fully theirs.

I had the privilege of supporting Em and Craig through their pregnancy, birth & postpartum journey, and it was incredible to witness how committed they were to preparing themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically to bring Kai earthside in their power.

Being their first birth, Em and Craig explored many different care providers within the hospital system before coming to the realisation that the only path that felt right for them was to birth at home.

Kai chose to come a week early and it was magic. That timing meant no-one knew Em and Craig were in labour. The birth was completely undisturbed, energetically protected, and held in the most sacred way, just the way Kai had chosen it to be.

It’s the first time Em and I have had the chance to sit together and go through her birth story in full, and it was such a joy to reflect, laugh, and honour the journey. She’s articulate, passionate, and deeply clear on why this path mattered so much for her family.

🎙️ Episode 7: Go With Whose Flow?Redefining Support & Sovereignty in Birth

In this raw and fiercely honest solo episode, I speak straight from the heart about one of the most common things I hear from birthing women: “We’re just going to go with the flow.” But what flow are you really going with?

After 16+ years of walking alongside thousands of families through birth, bodywork, education and advocacy, I’ve seen the consequences of “going with the flow” in a system designed to serve itself - not you. This episode unpacks what it truly means to birth in your own flow, why hospital policy and systemic pressure are not neutral forces, and what kind of support is actually needed to stay anchored in your sovereignty… especially when things get tough or your labour goes on longer than you expected.

We talk abandonment, coercion, regret, intuition, energetic alignment, and the kind of unwavering advocacy that doesn’t bail when the fire gets hot. If you’re preparing for birth orsupporting someone who is, then this is a must-listen.

✨ What I cover in this episode:

• Why “going with the flow” in hospital is often code for surrendering your power
• The truth about coercion, pressure, and policy in institutional birth
• What real birth support actually looks like (and how to find it)
• Tips for building your energetic birth team & staying sovereign in your decisions
• Roleplay, preparation, and the deep practice of tuning into your intuition

This is your reminder that your birth is sacred, and you deserve to be held in it fiercely, fully, and without compromise.
