“The midwives wanted to send me home with some Panadol, giving me the instructions to return in two days when the contractions were more serious - the baby was out in six hours” - Maria Phillips.

In this episode Maria Phillips joins the podcast and discusses how guided meditation, mindfulness and education helps with having a 'Calm Birth' . These lessons are then applied to the wider context of every day life and other traumatic events.
