Description

What does a wise woman witness bring to birth? Carmel brings this question home with her two birth stories. One hospital birth and then later in life, with the perfect partner, a beautiful homebirth.

One of the things Carmel mentions that made a huge difference for her was reading Whapio's Wholistic Stages of Birth. You can find further discussion of this on Alice's episode. And, of course, check out The Wholistic Stages of Birth for yourself.

Carmel's doula is Carissa from Home Body Birth and from the first episode of Through the Veil.

Michelle from Monarch Mothering was her placenta encapsulator.
