About this episode
Join Darby Swan on Birth By Design Podcast as she welcomes me, Suzzie Vehrs of She Births Bravely, to explore the transformative power of mindfulness in labor and birth. We dive into practical tools—from focused breathing and body scans to partner-supported techniques—that help you stay present, manage discomfort, and deepen your connection with your baby. Whether you’re planning a hospital, birth center, or home birth in Seattle (or beyond), you’ll gain actionable insights on bringing calm, confidence, and clarity to every stage of your labor journey.
