About the Author

Kat Villain teaches and practices yoga, studies herbalism, and handcrafts indulgent all-natural body products for her line fumescent. She wrote A Timeless Birth as a lived experience of her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. To compile this book, she read a wide variety of materials to find the best information and practices and experimented on herself to find ways to thrive during this time. She also interviewed many mothers and pregnant women about their experiences. She considers this time the most magical yet demanding period in a woman’s life, and hopes to inspire women to take their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum health into their own hands instead of giving it to an often sterile and unsupportive medical system.

Kat wholeheartedly believes that flourishing and supported mothers are the foundation of a healthy society and thriving world, and that it is more important now than ever to revitalize our motherhood practices. She currently lives in California, with her husband, Charlie, and their daughter, Plum Ophelia. They live in a tiny house, grow their own food and herbs, and practice sustainability. She is also the author of Yoga as Origami (FriesenPress: 2017).
