Freedom From Intervention & Control: Why Birth is Safest When Left Alone

Kate Rose was our Day 1 Keynote speaker at Sacred Birth Symposium! I love Kate’s holistic approach to pregnancy and birth and resonate so much with her perspectives. Day 1 of Sacred Birth Symposium was all about Conception & the First Stages of Pregnancy and Kate’s powerful talk on Interventions was tremendously educational!

I highly recommend this talk for any pregnant woman who is seeking more information on common pregnancy and birth interventions.

Kate Rose serves expecting women both locally (in the Central Texas Hill Country) as a holistic birthkeeper and virtually through her one-on-one birth preparation program Birth Alchemy. Birth Alchemy intertwines the physical, psychological, and metaphysical aspects of pregnancy and birth.

Kate views birth as a transformative rite of passage that encourages self awareness and inner growth, and her work with women reflects this perspective. She strives to help facilitate and integrate true, dynamic metamorphosis for each of her clients throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.
