Rewire For Birth Podcast
Dr. Cindy Tahhan, ND is a naturopathic doctor and birth guardian. This podcast is about rewiring how we think about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by offering a holistic perspective that empowers you to embrace your journey with confidence and strength.
Each week, we’ll bring you interviews with experts, valuable advice, and birth stories to help you feel prepared and empowered. We’ll dive deep into the transformative experience of bringing new life into the world and explore ways to make your birthing journey truly beautiful.
We firmly believe that through knowledge, community, and holistic practices, we can change the narrative around birth. Let’s eliminate the fear, anxiety, and uncertainty that often accompany the birth process. Join me on this journey and let’s rewire for birth together.
