Continuing my birthday month series on supporting women through TTC and beyond postpartum, I am interviewing Caitlin Tarleton of Kiwi Birth and Baby. Caitlin shares about herself:
Hi, I am Caitlin and I am a hypnobirthing mom and a hypnobirthing instructor! I fell in love with calm birthing through my own hypnobirthing course when I was pregnant with my oldest. It was a transformative experience for my life. This course helped me gain calm in every pregnancy and in my life. I use these strategies to find calm in parenting and help my children do the same. After the birth of my youngest, I was ready to pass this knowledge on to more moms. I had that same transformative experience as I went through the training. I truly believe in the power of self-hypnosis and the ways it can help with a positive birth experience and positivity in life.
We discuss questions like:
What is wrong with birth in this country? What can providers do to support better birth? What is hypnobirthing? Is hypnobirthing only for homebirth? What options exist for mothers?
And her actionable advice to moms and future moms: "Get cohesive, independent, childbirth education."
She recommends you follow: Evidence Based Birth, ICAN, Hypnobirthing International.
