In this episode, I speak with Nicola Goodall — birth attendant trainer, herbalist, and author of 10 Essential Oils for the Childbearing Year.
We trace the dark, often violent origins of the obstetric system and explore how the industrialisation of birth has shaped the landscape we see today.
Nicola shares:
The history behind the rise of obstetrics and the erasure of traditional birthkeepers
Her work training autonomous birth attendants
Her herbal practice — making remedies and tinctures from local plants
And how we can reconnect with ancestral wisdom to reimagine the future of birth
This episode is a rich tapestry of history, healing, and the call to remember.
