Tiare Sarahi: Empowered Choices, Doulas & Trusting Your Body

I sit down with Tiarè Sarahi, a passionate prenatal and birth doula based in Los Angeles. As a mom of two, Tiare has experienced both medicated and unmedicated births—giving her a deeply personal perspective on the transformative nature of birth. We dive into everything from choosing the right doula and navigating hospital interventions to reclaiming authority in the birth space and embracing birth as an intuitive process. Tiarè shares how she helps mothers feel empowered, whether they’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or via C-section. We also discuss how fear-based language in medical settings can pressure women into interventions they may not need—and how to confidently advocate for the birth experience they desire. If you’re expecting, planning for the future, or just fascinated by the wisdom of birth work, this episode is a must-listen! 📌 Topics We Cover: ✨ How Tiarè’s own birth experiences shaped her approach as a doula ✨ The most important questions to ask when choosing a doula ✨ Cultural alignment in birth work and why it matters ✨ Navigating hospital policies and standing firm in your birth plan ✨ How birth partners can be the best advocates ✨ The dangers of the ‘savior complex’ in birth work ✨ Preparing for postpartum—the biggest gaps in care today Resources: Learn more about Tiarè from her website and follow her on Instagram Follow the host, Claudia, on Instagram and check out her website Shop Puori grass-fed protein powder + supplements (Clean Label Certified and third-party tested!!!) discount code: HEALINGTHESOURCE
