Ep 119 Description:

“As a doula, the work always starts within. Follow the seeds of curiosity.” —Tessa Catto

Labor induction is a common medical intervention, but it doesn't have to mean the loss of your birth dreams. With the right mindset and support, induction can be an empowering experience that allows you to take an active role in your child's arrival. Navigating induction requires understanding your options and making informed choices to align with your birth preferences.

Tessa Catto is a birth doula, orgasmic birth practitioner, and artist who brings a holistic, empowered approach to supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Drawing on her own transformative experience with an induction of labor, Tessa offers invaluable insights on maintaining control and finding pleasure, even when birth doesn’t unfold as originally planned.

Tune in to gain valuable perspectives about empowered induction, using art and creativity to support women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and the role of pleasure and self-trust in the transformative experiences of motherhood.
