"Yolande Norris-Clark was born in Vancouver, BC in 1981 and is a leader in the freebirth, birth-freedom, self-healing, and health liberation movements. She is a spell-breaker, way-shower, whistle-blower, trailblazer, and beloved guide to women all over the world who are awakening to the possibility of giving birth in peace and power. As a mother of nine, Yolande has given birth to all her children at home. For over twenty years, she has been immersed in the world of holistic, physiological birth and has supported thousands of mothers and families virtually as a birth consultant, an in-person witness, and a coach. Her mission is to dispel the myth that birth is an ordeal from which women must be ""delivered,"" and to share the truth that it is possible for birth to be a transformational, transcendent, and ecstatic spiritual experience for every mother and baby."
