S6 EP177: Ellêna Hall: Homebirth + Freebirth: Navigating Birth Trauma and Deep Healing

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ellêna, who shares her two births at home - each unique, each powerful in its own way. From once believing that birthing outside the hospital was unthinkable, to birthing both her babies at home, Ellêna's journey is full of moments that highlight how much birth can teach us - not just about our bodies, but about what it means to back ourselves completely.

She reflects on the strength it took to advocate for herself during her first labour - an experience that taught her to trust her voice and stand firmly in what she knew she needed. That inner knowing became her anchor as she navigated a tailbone injury during her second pregnancy, and a labour that defied expectations. With surges that remained spaced apart, she was left questioning what was really unfolding, until her baby arrived in the most peaceful way.

Through it all, Ellêna story is a beautiful reminder that birth isn’t about control - it’s about trust.
