Evening Tea
Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in: this is Evening Tea. In our very first episode, I introduce myself, share my journey into holistic living, and explain why this space exists. From movement and nutrition to postpartum, natural medicine, and the power of community, we’ll explore what it means to live intentionally and listen to your intuition. Whether you’re a mother, hoping to become one, or simply a woman curious about holistic health, this episode is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and feel seen.

Changing of the Leaves: My First Home Birth Story

When I think about my first birth, the word that comes up is surrender. In this episode of Evening Tea, I share my full positive home birth story, an unmedicated, midwife-assisted, water-supported birth at 40+6 weeks gestation. From acupuncture on my due date to consciously releasing control, from waking up with my water broken with meconium to walking through early labor, from using the Bradley Method for partner-supported breathing to four and a half hours of pushing, to immediate skin-to-skin and delayed cord clamping, this is a detailed, honest account of a physiological birth at home. We touch on trusting intuition in pregnancy, preparing for natural labor, laboring at home, the tub experience, and postpartum recovery in our own bed. This is not medical advice and it is not a blueprint. It is simply one positive home birth story told gently and reflectively. If you are searching for home birth stories, natural birth experiences, or calm, empowering labor narratives, I hope this episode feels grounding, intimate, and real.
