Creating Sacred Spaces for Birth with Corina Fitch
Welcome to Season 10, Episode 6 of the She Births® Podcast.
Hello. It’s so great to have you with us.
We’re just at the beginning of 2025, a whole new year, a new president for Americans and lots of other crazy things are happening in our world, but here we are, birth, hopefully will be reclaimed and become more normal and more beautiful for everybody. That’s my dream, and why I keep doing what I do.
And today I share a conversation with a beautiful mum and midwife, Corina Fitch. She is a midwife of birth and a midwife of matrescence, deeply passionate about both of those things.
In fact, Corina was born into midwifery. She was born in the back of a bus, on The Farm in Tennessee. If you are new to the birth world or just pregnant – The Farm, was founded by Steven and Ina May Gaskin,

It was set up as a commune that just kind of birthed itself. The midwives were self-taught and ended up becoming the world’s best midwives. Ina May is the most famous. She has written many books still in print. The most popular is Spiritual Midwifery, and it’s beautiful. It is such a wonderful collection of stories and such an extraordinary amount of knowledge, not just for midwives but for pregnant mums and doulas, too.
So I hope you enjoy our conversation today. We talk a lot about what The Farm and how it was, how it is now. Their amazing statistics – a c-section rate of 1.4%. We also talk about the importance of matrescence and making that word and mother’s struggles more visible.
I hope you enjoy.
