Ep. 111 - Kerry Burke — Birth Story

with Kerry Burke

“We still plan our weddings; we still plan traveling, we know that they're not going to go according to plan, but we plan them. A birth plan is no different. It's what makes us feel most safe.”
Kerry Burke
Episode 111, orgasmic birth the podcast

Welcome to episode 111!

We are the architects of a bold new narrative around childbirth— one that celebrates our innate power, reclaims our pleasure, and empowers us as active participants in this profound rite of passage.

At Peace Birth and Wellness owner, Kerry Burke is a doula and childbirth educator who found empowerment in her own unmedicated birth experience, despite a history of anxiety and panic disorder. Drawing on her personal journey, Kerry now guides expectant families to have informed, autonomous, and fulfilling birth experiences. 

Listen in as Debra and Kerry discuss how Kerry’s history of anxiety and panic disorder served her in labor, what to do in between the sweet moments of labor, the importance of normalizing yourself to the process, Kerry’s vision for changing societal views on birth, the factors that helped her surrender to the sensations, and her transformative experience becoming an Orgasmic Birth Practitioner.
