The Rural Births PodcastAuthor: Elisa James
This podcast has been created to provide a platform for sharing rural Australian womens birth stories. Rural women can be isolated from pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birthing and postpartum care models available to women living in urban environments and city centres. I want to record and share stories from the many rural women who have birthed, to allow them to voice their experience and learn from them. I want rural women who are pregnant, planning to get pregnant or entering their postpartum period to feel supported and know that, although care may be via distance, there are options.

Episode 33
Wednesday, 5 October, 2022
Cassie is a Mum of 3. She has traversed the landscape of rural birthing through her three different births. Cassie has navigated the change from relying on the hospital system to taking back her power and choosing a healing home birth. Working with Claire from ‘Your Birth Midwifery’. Cassie is now a birth keeper, post partum doula, and breast feeding doula also offering virtual support. She runs a regular birth circle where women can connect regardless of the distance that separates us, across this rural landscape. Women are invited to sit in virtual circle, here in they gather to hold space and be held. In each circle everyone gathered will collectively hold space for the sharing mother as she shares her own empowering birthing experience, her journey towards that and her journey afterwards. Cassie is changing the rural birthing landscape through story medicine, both in the sharing of her own story and the crafting of space to give voice to many women’s birth stories.
