Curious about low intervention birth?
Join me and Doula Liz Burns for a real, no-fluff conversation about what it actually means to have a low intervention birth — and what it doesn’t. We’ll unpack common myths, talk through hospital policies, and share practical insights to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your choices.

Just a heads up: This isn’t about telling you how to give birth — it’s about giving you tools and information so you can make the best decision for you.
