Holistic Preparation for Your Pleasurable Birth with Dr. Anemone Hedtstück

Ep 167 Description:

"When you heal yourself, you can also influence the healing of your children. And I think every healing of oneself is a healing for the rest of the world." —Dr. Anemone Hedtstück

Feeling anxious about birth, or wondering if it's possible to actually look forward to the experience? You're not alone. So many parents-to-be carry quiet fears, old stories, and doubts about what birth "should" feel like. There's a gentler, more connected way to prepare that honors both your body and your heart.

Dr. Anemone Hedtstück's first birth shook her confidence, but it also sparked a lifelong mission: to guide others toward empowered, healing, and even joyful births. Drawing from her own transformation—from a vulnerable hospital patient to a holistic OB-GYN and mother of two—she brings fresh, practical wisdom to the art of preparing for birth. Her approach blends medical expertise, deep listening, and a belief in every woman's inner healer.

Press play to hear how to clear old birth patterns, nurture a real bond with your baby before birth, and set yourself up for a gentle, pleasurable experience—plus, get Dr. Anemone's honest take on hospital vs. home birth, healing after trauma, and the small steps that make a big difference.
