The Breathe to Birth Podcast
Welcome to the Breathe to Birth Podcast. A space for real, honest and empowering conversations about pregnancy, birth and beyond. I’m Chloe - Hypnobirthing Teacher, Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Teacher, and X-Hail Meditation Instructor. I started this podcast because I’m a little bit obsessed with all things birth, and I truly believe how we talk about birth matters. Here, you’ll hear positive birth stories, personal reflections, and conversations with guests who share my passion for supporting women and birthing people through pregnancy and birth. We’ll explore the things that really contribute to a positive birth experience. From how we prepare, to how we feel supported, to how we trust our bodies and ourselves. And we’ll also hold space for the fact that birth can be unpredictable, layered and complex, and that all stories matter here. My hope is that this is a space where you feel supported, inspired and reminded of your own strength as you approach the birth of your baby, and to hold the belief that birth can be positive, powerful and transformative, whatever it looks like. Here’s to more honest conversations, more shared stories, and more women feeling strong, supported and empowered in birth.
