The Path with Mike Salemi

The Ceremony of Birth & Parenting with Dr. Nathan Riley

#10 Since I will be stepping into fatherhood in the coming months, so much of my time has been devoted to learning about this journey. Today, I am so excited to sit down with Dr. Nathan Riley, The Holistic OBGYN. We talk about the consequences of modern intervention in the birthing process, the responsibilities of a father, what to expect in the birthing process, and so much more. Nathan is incredibly smart but also so heart-centered in all the work that he does and this conversation blew my mind wide open.


Nathan and I discuss:

  • Birth as a ceremony, not a medical procedure 
  • Getting out of the way of the birthing process
  • Changing the world by changing how we care for birthing women
  • Witnessing without fixing: The responsibility of being a father
  • What happens after the baby is here
  • Celebrating the good, not vilifying the bad
