How to Birth Like a Mammal
Episode description
Lindsay is a mother of three, photographer, birth coach, and podcast host at Birth Like a Mammal™, a community that teaches parents and doulas how to give birth like a mammal. After over a decade of supporting families as a doula and working in birth advocacy, Lindsay founded Birth Like a Mammal™ in 2023. She feels deeply that most issues within our society and culture can be solved by birthing in alignment with mammalian biology.
In this episode, you’ll hear Lindsay discuss:
- How her background working with animals informed how she understands birth.
- Why she chose to freebirth her first baby, and hired a midwife for the next two.
- Her time working on Exposing the Silence Project, a photography project that documented and brought awareness to birth trauma and obstetric violence.
- All about her upcoming retreat, Hope for Healing. The retreat is for any woman who has been affected by birth trauma, and is looking for healing.
