Welcome back to the Holistic Doula Haven.

Kiara, your host, birth and postpartum doula speaks on a deeply personal and critically important topic.

In honour of Black History Month, we’re shedding light on a conversation that doesn’t happen nearly enough. Black maternal health in Canada.

If you’ve never heard about the disparities Black women face in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, you’re not alone. But the truth is, Black birthing people in Canada experience higher rates of preterm birth, inadequate pain management, and systemic neglect.

In this episode, we go over:

• The state of Black maternal health in Canada
• The overlooked role of Black doulas in changing birth outcomes

• How we can advocate for ourselves and push for meaningful change
