Silvia's story - my active births

About this episode

Silvia Bush Infestas-Lopez shares her journey and insights on active birth, emphasizing its benefits and her personal experiences.

Active birth is a powerful way to prepare for birth - and super effective. Yet it's benefits are less known about these days thanks to the countless courses, techniques and online courses now available. It's very physical focus is the key to mothers feeling confident as well as to countering the worrying rise in medicalised birth and Natalie's conversation with ardent active birth advocate Silvia Bush Infestas-Lopez will give you a really felt sense of exactly why. Silvia is a Spanish mum of two and a Marketing Director based in London. Silvia discovered Active Birth during her first pregnancy five years ago, and its common-sense approach immediately resonated with her. As she began learning more about birth physiology, what started as a personal interest quickly grew into a real passion. Silvia later trained as a certified Active Birth teacher, alongside other pregnancy, birth and postnatal-related certifications. Her own positive birth experiences were life-changing, and Silvia now loves sharing what she's learned to help other parents approach birth with more confidence and trust in their bodies. As always thanks for listening. If you'd like to get in touch with us please…
