In this potent and timely conversation, I’m joined by Sheila Kamara Hay—mama of three, ecstatic birth mentor, and visionary guide in the reclamation of birth as a portal of pleasure, power, and possibility.

Together we explore what it means to feel good in birth, how to orient toward safety and expansion in our bodies, and the critical distinction between pain and suffering.

Sheila shares her own three birth stories and the awakenings that followed, weaving in threads of nervous system awareness, sensual aliveness, and the necessity of reclaiming our inner authority.

This is a rich, embodied dialogue on the sacred design of birth, the conditioning that numbs our pleasure, and the invitation for all women to come home to themselves.

Rayssa joins me for a powerful birth story episode —One rooted in ancestry, spiritual awakening, and radical self-trust. She shares the story of her first birth: an orgasmic labor unfolding in a French hospital, disrupted at the final moment when the provider commanded her to push when she wasn't ready to. This highlights the ecstatic possibilities in birth as well as the depths of vulnerability a woman may experience.

Then, her second: a sovereign freebirth at home, where she welcomed her baby in complete presence, reverence, and wild feminine power.

We talk about lineage, resisting coercion ("your baby is too small and you NEED an induction), the intelligence of the body, and the kind of transformation only birth can bring.

The Wise Woman: A Path to Remembrance begins July 7th

—a 6-week journey for women ready to reclaim what was lost, buried, or never taught. Together, we’ll explore Herstory, the sisterhood wound, rites of passage, womb wisdom, feminine embodiment, and the oracle within.

This is not another self-help circle. It’s a deep remembering. A sacred unraveling. A return.

Esmeralda is a mama of 3 and homebirth doula. In addition she also offers a variety of holistic birth services including birth photography and placenta encapsulation @birthsathome

Her passion in birthwork started after her first homebirth with her second child. She immediately dove into doula training and began serving her community for mamas giving birth both in the hospital and at home!

After about a year she realized her heart and true passion was in homebirths so she rebranded her doula business and Births at Home was born

She has now grown Births at Home into not only her doula services but also an online community, virtual services, a small shop, a podcast, and so much more!

Her mission is to normalize home births and empower mamas who choose to give birth at home 🫶🏼

I am so excited to share with you that I presented for APPPAH (The Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health).

APPPAH’s mission is to support and promote emerging evidence in prenatal and perinatal science and birth psychology that babies are conscious and aware and have their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences before, during, and after birth.

www.birthpsychology.com

My presentation is titled: Birth is a Sacred Rite of Passage and Birth Imprints Matter: The How & Why

You can watch the beautiful presentation at the link below
