Ep 46: Support Birth Healing & Liberation

Ep 46: Support Birth Healing & Liberation

Author: Natalee Facey June 18, 2023 Duration: 46:24

Today's guest is Nicole JeanBaptiste, whom we met in Ep 20 of the podcast on "Honoring the Black Birthing Experience". Nicole is a full spectrum Birth and Postpartum Doula, Oral Historian, and Social Justice Advocate working towards the liberation of Black and Brown birthing people and Birthworkers.

 

In this episode, we shift our attention to the healers and caretakers of the birthing world: Birthworkers.

 

We explore what it means to move towards birthing justice and liberation through tending to the needs and care of Black and Brown Birthworkers. We also discuss an upcoming retreat Nicole will be co-hosting that supports Black and Brown Birthworkers in their own healing and restoration.

More About Me:

I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula. I support women and femmes who've gone through womb-related loss in their emotional healing, pregnancy, and giving birth to a more powerful, compassionate, authentic version of themself. Healing is the greatest gift one could give to themself or their family. And it's an honor and privilege for me to be a form of support on that journey.

 

Ways That I Can Support You on Your Birthing / Rebirth Journey:

 

With Love,

Natalee


Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
