Ep. 119 - Empowered Induction
with Tessa Catto
Welcome to episode 119
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.

“What you will receive is far beyond what is written on the curriculum the camaraderie with women from all around the world. This is definitely an advanced doula training. I would, I just think that there are so many facets to it, and tools that I have gained that I will walk with for the rest of my life. There are so many relationships that I have now cultivated so many connections, even even to myself work that I have places that I found myself questioning. How can I be a better doula? How can I serve more fully? How can I take care of myself within my practice?”

“It’s been really special for me. I was not aware of the power of the international community of doulas and birth workers and I really felt that this week. I really felt that we are not only sharing the same vocation, but we also are all activists and sisters and really mothers of life.”
