Sacred Energetics of Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
with Lailana Victoria
Welcome to Episode 155
What if birth is about more than just the physical body? We often focus on the medical details, but the journey to motherhood involves a profound, energetic, and spiritual transformation that is too often ignored, especially for women carrying unspoken wounds.
Our guest, Lailana Victoria, is a bridge between worlds. Her own journey into parenthood ignited her mission as a doula and rootworker to bring sacredness back to the birth space and give voice to these unspoken stories of metamorphosis.
Press play as Debra and Lailana discuss the manifestation process of a soul, the psychedelic nature of birth and parenting, how to transform the pain of shedding your identity into power and pleasure, the deep connection between sexuality and spirituality, and why evolution is the biggest orgasm.

Eat Pray Doula retreats are immersive, transformational experiences held annually in Bali, Indonesia, designed for aspiring and experienced doulas, birth workers, and health professionals. These retreats offer in-depth DONA-approved training that fulfills key classroom requirements for birth doula certification, while also providing a unique opportunity to connect deeply with a global community in a nurturing, supportive environment.
Participants enjoy daily yoga, delicious food, and the serene beauty of Bali, fostering personal growth, sisterhood, and a heart-expanding approach to birth work. The retreats are led by renowned trainers Debra Pascali-Bonaro, Ibu Robin Lim (and special guests), and are praised for their blend of practical skills, cultural immersion, and soulful connection, making them a truly unique pathway for those passionate about supporting birthing families.
Attending Eat Pray Doula was an incredible and life-changing experience. The knowledge, hands-on practice, and emotional connections formed during this workshop have greatly enriched my perspective as a midwife. I have come to understand even more that the presence of a doula plays a crucial role in helping mothers give birth smoothly, comfortably, and with a positive experience. I feel more confident, inspired, and connected to a global community of birth supporters. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone passionate about holistic birth support. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
