 Health Content Advisory: This conversation centers on pregnancy and birth, including personal experiences. Please listen with care – mahalo.In this life-affirming episode, we sit down with PuaOEleili Pinto - mother of two, cultural health provider, and keeper of lomilomi, lāʻau lapaʻau, and Hawaiian childbirth traditions. Raised in Kailua, Oʻahu, with ancestral roots across Maui and Hawaiʻi Island, Pua honors her lineage through both research and lived practice via Ēwe ʻOiaʻiʻo, the company she founded to teach Hawaiian healing and birth. She shares how Hawaiian history, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, sound, and land restoration shaped her journey and guided the reclamation of ʻŌiwi birthing practices. Reflecting on her own birth experiences, Pua explores rebuilding trust in body wisdom, blending Hawaiian and Western healing methods, and restoring birth as a family-centered journey. The conversation also touches on food sovereignty, highlighting traditional Hawaiian food and the distinction between food and medicine, and the critical role of restoring Hawaiian forests as the foundation of well-being for all life. This episode is a reminder that indigenous practices are living, vital, and essential for healing families and communities today.Episode Highlights00:52 – Exploring Hawaiian birth practices01:30 – Connecting to home: Kailua05:32 – Navigating joy and challenges in Hawaiian healing07:21 – In her ancestors' footsteps - re-membering birth practices10:09 – Traditional Hawaiian medicine14:27 – Connecting past and present in birthing practices24:16 – Creating safe birthing spaces26:57 – Discovering pregnancy and early challenges29:05 – Helping others overcome birth trauma30:29 – Empowering couples in birth32:29 – The role of ancestral practices in birth37:22 – The importance of Hawaiian diet in pregnancy38:38 – Advocating for Hawaiian food and food sovereignty42:35 – Restoring the Native Hawaiian forest46:00 – Future hopesPregnancy and Birthing Resources:PuaOEleili's Cultural Birth Education Website: Ēwe ʻOiaʻiʻoPuaOEleili’s Online Birth CourseCookbooks & Resource LibraryMust We Wait in DespairʻO ʻOe nō Paha Ia e ka Lau o ke Aloha – An Essay by Kīhei de SilvaNohopapa – Hawaiian Cultural Heritage Stewardship ServicesMotherwit – Postpartum Food DeliveryKauluakalanaKaulunani Urban & Community Forestry Project“Grow Hawaiʻi” Book – Native Books HawaiʻiHawaiʻi Forest Institute – Go Native: Growing a Native Hawaiian Urban ForestAwaiaulu Kīpapa – Hawaiʻi History Educator ResourcesPuOEleili's Academic ResearchPua kanikawī kanikawā: The Intimacy of Hawaiian ChildbirthNative Hawaiian Complementary Feeding Practices as Told by GrandparentsEpisode Photo: PuaOEleili Pinto and Kicking Bird Photography Listen & SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyYoutubeHeartbeat Narratives WebsiteGuest InquiriesInterested in sharing what brings you joy?
