Description

We’re launching a special series of episodes, each centered on one powerful theme in the home birth journey. This first set — Water Birth Stories — gathers real experiences and insights to support, inspire, and immerse you in the magic of water birth!


How can you take your power back after it feels like a previous birth experience took it away?


Today’s story with Karine Halle features details of trauma from a hospital birth for her first child and how she was determined to have a home birth for her second. 


In between her first and second birth, she felt called into doula work and became passionate about supporting families in the birth experience. 


For her second pregnancy and birth, she did everything she could to put the odds on her side to have her dream birth.


*Please note that this conversation contains mention of suicidal thoughts
