About this listen

 This week on The Mother Daze, we’re joined by two powerhouse women redefining what birth support can look like, Anastasia Stone, mother of five and deeply intuitive doula, and Dr. Melissa Drake, soulful OB-GYN. Together they co-founded ‘The Collective’ in Santa Barbara, California. As a team, they’re flipping the traditional model of care on its head, blending house calls, continuity, and deep, respectful presence to rewrite the birth experience. We dive into the story of Sarah’s birth with baby Ocean, including the moment a shoulder dystocia changed the energy of the room and how this team navigated it with calm, trust, and connection. From home to hospital, they held Sarah through the intensity, honoring her choices and helping her stay rooted in her joy even amidst big unknowns. This episode is all about intuitive birth work, integrated care, how they came to be such a dynamic duo and what’s possible when women are surrounded by providers who trust the process as deeply as they trust the birthing person.
