Podcast Description
Welcome to the Midwife of Healing Podcast—a sacred listening space for remembering the ancient and future ways of Birth and Becoming.
I’m your host, Catalina Clark, I am a woman, mother, daughter, sister, Midwife and student on the healing path. With 10 years experience in witnessing Birth I have found my way home to supporting women in alignment with the natural world and the power of physiologic birth.
This podcast is for the ones who sense there’s more to life than what we’ve been told. For the ones who are ready to unlearn the old stories, reclaim their sovereignty, and Midwife a new paradigm into being.
Together, we’ll sit at the fire of deep and honest conversation with Midwives, healers, teachers, and truth-seekers. We’ll speak the language of the soul, of consciousness and of remembrance. Because Birth is a transformational threshold and an evolutionary portal into the next generation.
Whether you’re a mother, Midwife, father, partner, student, or simply a curious soul—may these episodes guide you back to your own knowing and inspire the collective healing we are here to Midwife together.
Because the way we give Birth is the way that we live our lives and the world is ready for something new.

Episode 8: With Great Love Comes Great Grief: Planned Freebirth, Stillbirth & Near-Death Experience with Emma Cardinal
In this deeply moving episode, Emma Cardinal shares her story of love, loss, and transformation through the journey of a planned Freebirth, Stillbirth and personal Near-Death Experience.
This conversation explores:
– The intersection of birth, death and transformation
– The healing crisis within modern midwifery
– How grief and love are inseparable
– The importance of context, community and compassion in every birth story
– Why walking the middle way means honoring paradox and many truths
Emma’s son, Floyd, lived only in the womb, but his spirit continues to breathe Life into this world through his mother’s voice. Her words remind us that Birth and Death are not opposites, they are two threads woven throughout the same tapestry.
This conversation is not about choosing sides.It is not about hospital vs. home, licensed vs. unlicensed, medical vs. mystical.It is about being HUMAN.It is about being humbled by Life.It is about the ways we love so deeply that it breaks us open, and how that expansion becomes our medicine.
Women are awakening to their strength and power, but also softening to the truth that Birth cannot be controlled.To walk with Birth is to walk with Death.To Midwife Life is to Midwife loss.To love is to grieve.
This episode is an offering to the Middle Way, a space beyond polarity, where paradox and many truths can exist simultaneously. A space where context matters, where compassion leads and where every story is sacred.
My prayer is that you listen with your heart open and your spirit grounded. May we hold Emma’s story, and all stories like it, with the reverence they deserve.
Thank you Dear Emma & Floyd for your graciousness, generosity and contributions to the Evolution of Human Consciousness through the portals of Life and Death.
