An “En Caul” birth is an incredibly rare occurrence, happening in only about 1 in 80,000 deliveries. But when it does happen, it can be a truly transformative and “orgasmic” experience for the birthing mother.

Learn how she used yoga, meditation, and breathwork to prepare for an empowered, “orgasmic” birth experience. Discover the crucial role her husband’s unwavering support played, and hear Angie’s advice on advocating for your preferences in a medical setting.

“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.”
