A healthy lifestyle applies to both clients and practitioners alike. Today, Blyss and Dr. Stu chat with midwives Josie & Maral of Tourmaline Birth & Wellness Collective about their integrative model of care. They break down what makes their birth center different, including the structure of having multiple care providers and the non-profit that subsidizes care for those who can’t afford midwifery services. From this conversation, we gain a look into what it means to nurture both birth and birth workers and how we can shift into this new paradigm of maternity care.

• How this integrative model of care nurtures birth & birth workers
• Non-profit services: subsidized care & free counseling after miscarriage
• Highlights of what makes their birth center different
