“I don't have a birth plan. I have a birth attitude. I'm not going to get myself into a state of panic, and I'm never going to doubt that I can do this.” —Angie Tiwari

An "En Caul" birth is an incredibly rare occurrence, happening in only about 1 in 80,000 deliveries. But when it does happen, it can be a truly transformative and "orgasmic" experience for the birthing mother. Imagine delivering your baby still safely encased in the intact amniotic sac— a powerful, meditative moment of awe and wonder.

Angie Tiwari is a yoga, meditation, and breathwork coach who is passionate about empowering women to have positive, pleasurable birth experiences. As the founder of Unearthed Retreats and an online yoga studio, she shares her expertise to help others tap into their inner strength and wisdom.

From the importance of knowledge and understanding medical terminology to the transformative power of affirmations and visualization, Angie's birth story is full of invaluable insights. Learn how she used yoga, meditation, and breathwork to prepare for an empowered, "orgasmic" birth experience. Discover the crucial role her husband's unwavering support played, and hear Angie's advice on advocating for your preferences in a medical setting.
