74. Restoring Indigenous Birthing Traditions


Listen Later

Join us for the 74th Re:Pro Health Podcast episode! We're so fortunate to have Maureen Callihoo Ligtvoet with us as we discuss the revitalization of Indigenous birthing practices and the importance of culturally safe maternity care. Maureen is a community advocate for truth and reconciliation, a human service professional, and the daughter of a residential school survivor. In this episode she shares her knowledge and experience in traditional Indigenous birthing practices as well as where the healthcare system may be falling short in meeting the needs of Indigenous patients. We'll also discuss some of the important historical context that continues to result in numerous poor delivery experiences for members of Indigenous communities and what steps healthcare professionals can take to work towards addressing these deficits in care. It's such a privilege to be part of this discussion and we hope you enjoy listening in!
