Reclaiming Our Power Through Water Home Birth with Kimberly Leemans
Today, we’re diving into a conversation that is deeply personal, transformative, and full of heart: the experience of natural water home birth.
For many, birth has been shaped by trauma, interventions, or medical necessity. Others may long for an experience that feels more connected, intuitive, and peaceful. No matter what your journey has been, we honor all birth stories and in this episode, we explore one possibility: the beauty and empowerment of choosing home birth.
Joining me today is Kimberly Leemans, a talented actress, devoted mother, and wife to filmmaker Falk Hentschel. You may recognize Kimberly from The Walking Dead, America’s Next Top Model, The Vampire Diaries, and Swap Me Baby. But today, she’s here to share something deeply personal, her journey of choosing and experiencing a natural water home birth. Twice.
Kimberly opens up about:
✨ Why she chose home birth and how it aligned with her values and intuition
✨ What her birth experiences were like and the profound impact they had on her
✨ How birth can be empowering and transformative when we trust our bodies
✨ Why she’s passionate about helping others know home birth is an option
This is a conversation about honoring choice, listening to our instincts, and reclaiming birth as a powerful experience. If you’re curious about home birth, love hearing incredible birth stories, or just want to feel inspired by a woman who followed her intuition, this episode is for you. Instagram: @kimiabreak

Hi Soul Sisters and Brothers! I was born in an American Sikh yoga ashram in Boston and raised among Reiki Masters, channelers, and healers in Vermont. For over 25 years, I’ve been a professional film and TV actor, but my deepest calling is in breathwork, energy healing, and soul transformation. As a Breathwork teacher, Akashic Records teacher, and Reiki Master of Masters, I guide others in their expansion and healing, hosting retreats and sharing my magic around the world. I live near Portland, Oregon, with my husband, two boys, and our dogs, finding joy in music, dance, nature, and deep soul work. Let’s expand, create, and feel good together!
