Where Birthing is a Portal to Your Power

Hosted by Siobhan Diores, a birth and spirit worker of 6+ years, Crowning is a weekly show for present and future parents with 3 intentions:

Connect

with your inner wisdom, calling to childbirth, & the generations of mothers & parents who’ve birthed through revolutionary times

Inform

with evidence-based information for physiological childbirth and the past, present, & future of reproductive justice

Empower

yourself to make your own aligned choices and rise as an advocate for sovereign birthing and collective liberation.

Ask a Spirit Doula

From livestreams to private sessions, I want my spaces to feel as collaborative and relevant as possible. Curious about what doulas can do? Confronting a birthing fear? Learning to trust your inner voice?

Share your inquiry and I’ll answer it on an upcoming episode of Crowning.

Reminder: As a spirit doula I support navigating reproductive journeys. I cannot offer advice —medical, legal, or otherwise.

Meet the host of Crowning

Following the birth of her son in 2018, Siobhan (sha-VON, she/her) embarked on her spirit doula path. In addition to attending reproductive events since 2020, she has been hosting online workshops and livestreaming since 2021.

Siobhan believes virtual facilitation is a distinct skillset and is passionate about creating online experiences that are trauma-informed and nervous system-sensitive. She calls this approach Soul-Sensitive Care.

One of her childhood dreams was to host a talk show and after co-hosting weekly shows, monthly gatherings, and virtual variety shows on Soft Power TV, Crowning is her first solo broadcast.

By sharing her spirit doula insights and experiences through this weekly show, she hopes to not only to bring intuitive, informed care to the public, but to also walk together through the threshold of collectively birthing more loving and life-affirming experiences on Earth.
