The Ecstasy of Autonomous Childbirth with Taylor Bland

I conceived my fourth child in early 2020 - and we all know what happened in 2020… I very quickly decided I would have nothing to do with a hospital for that birth. My midwife closed shop and I was unable to find anyone else who was willing to take me on. So, I decided to have a “free birth.”  Actually, I prefer the term autonomous birth. 

Autonomous birth is the act of birthing without the authoritative oversight of doctors, state-governed midwives or medical professionals. It's about birthing in your own power and choices, with support coming from companions of your choosing. 

On this episode of the Ecstatic Life Podcast, I welcome my friend and birth attendant for my fourth baby, Taylor Bland, to discuss the transformative power of autonomous childbirth. Taylor shares her decade-long experience in the birth field, her work with the Amish community, and the profound spiritual and emotional aspects of physiological birth. Learn about ecstatic birth, the concept of spirit babies, and the importance of surrendering to the birthing process. This episode is a must-listen for women seeking empowerment and a deeper connection with their birthing experience.
