What to expect from this ep:

A little disclaimer:

As a doula, my passion and focus is always helping women understand their options, protect their rights as human beings, and helping them feel powerful - whatever their birth looks like. Whilst this podcast is not designed as medical advice, it is focused on helping you have a curious approach to the things that are recommended and ensuring that your rights are protected and upheld. I’m not here to tell you what to do with your body or your birth. My goal is to help you feel informed and confident, so you can make decisions that feel right for you. Always be sure to do your own research, and trust your gut, too. 


Lived experiences of women matter. The way we feel and our mental health during our birth experiences is incredibly important, and policy is not law. You are well within your legal and human rights to explore if the care you are receiving is right for YOU.
