• 47. INNER TRUST IN BIRTH ~ Keely Semler on Birth, Safety, Discernment, and Support

  Episode OverviewIn this episode of Spiral Deeper, our host, Gaby Azorsky, speaks with Keely Semler. Together, they dive into her origin story and path to working in the interdisciplinary field of women’s reproductive health, judgement in birth, safety, discernment, being a mentor and teacher, her educational course and podcast - Motherlands, and more. Thank you for joining us on this journey of self-discovery and growth! Here is a little more about Keely: Keely’s career began with a deep commitment to service, working with a nonprofit that provided medical devices to vulnerable populations in war-torn regions. In her early twenties, Keely traveled to remote parts of Africa and Asia, where she discovered her true calling: to serve and uplift women in their most transformative moments. Driven by this mission, Keely pursued a Master’s in Maternal and Child Health from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Upon graduation, she joined a Hospitalist Medical Group, but it was clear her heart lay in direct patient care, where she could make a more personal impact. With this newfound clarity, Keely transitioned to offering her expertise as a Doula and Health Educator, initially providing pro bono support to underserved communities in Los Angeles. Over the years, Keely has supported hundreds of families in both hospital and home settings, always with a focus on holistic, compassionate care. During the pandemic, Keely expanded her knowledge by studying Midwifery Care, which further deepened her understanding of family-centered care. As a student midwife, she reimagined the possibilities of women’s health and became devoted to educating and empowering women to honor their bodies, autonomy, and unique paths. Keely’s teaching philosophy draws from her background in Public Health, Medical Anthropology, and holistic wellness. This integrated approach allows her to support healthy, informed individuals while also tending to the emotional and energetic dimensions of care. She moves beyond clinical frameworks to explore the deeper ceremony of caregiving and how we show up for one another as a personal, collective, and ecological practice. As her work evolved, Keely offers advance training and mentorship, helping to cultivate the next generation of empowered health educators and professionals.Special OfferCODE - SPIRALOFFLOWERS for 20% off your first month in The Flower Portal!EVENTS - 4/19 Tarot at Noto in Los Angeles, 4/23 Flower Portal Cacao Workshop, 5/30-5/31 The Sacred Pause Retreat in Ojai CaliforniaConnect and Work with GabyInspiring the connection between Heaven and Earth through Reiki, Tarot, Folk herbalism, Clairvoyance, and Meditation.
