I know I know, if you’ve been listening the last 2 weeks you are now expecting no 4!

And no 4 is epic! 

It’s called “The Wisdom of Letting go and Lean into the Pain in Birth” with Stephanie. But I couldn’t retrieve the video recording of it and because the poddy is now on YouTube as well I decided to not share it.

But YOU can go to thenaturalbirthpodcast.com to find it at no 4 of the top 10 episodes of all time (meaning since 2020).

BUT don’t get too disappointed because this is truly one of my favs.

I interviewed Aimee just as I was about to start the first round of the Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship in 2023.

I didn’t know it was going to be called that at the time and used the working name the spiritual midwife program as I was still known as The Spiritual Midwife.

Anyway, today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Aimee Aroha.

Aimee is originally from New Zealand, today living in Australia and she is a Wild Mother and Transpersonal Birth Mentor.

She generously takes us through her first hospital birth at the young age of 24 and her initiation into motherhood.

We then dive into red threads, birth imprinting, rites of passages and women’s power in her rites and birth.

Aimee continues to share how her life took a turn as she moved from the big city smoke of Sydney into nature in Northern NSW, meeting a new partner and then becoming pregnant again and how this time she made very different choices.

She employed an independent home birth midwife for her second pregnancy but ended up birthing before her midwife arrived, and when she became pregnant a third time she decided for a fully wild pregnancy and free birth with just her family.
