Description
Are you ready to support your doula clients using the most powerful tool on your belt?In this episode, I am joined by my favorite author, Henci Goer. We are chatting about the impossibility of unbiased maternity care, and what you can do as a doula to help.To put it lightly, mainstream obstetric research can be… dodgy. It rarely takes into account the mother’s well-being and is highly motivated by control, economic gains, and legal protection. Putting the research into mom’s hands will give her the confidence to make evidence-based decisions during her birth experience, and give her a better chance at the birth outcome she has envisioned.Henci is an acknowledged expert on evidence-based maternity care, an award-winning medical writer and an internationally known speaker. Her most well-known book is “Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities,” which is used and referenced widely across the childbirth community. If you’re tired of hearing doctors push their non-evidence-based opinions, then you’ll wanna listen up!Visit Henci Goer’s website: http://www.hencigoer.com/ Resources mentioned:>> Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities by Henci Goer >>The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer>>Optimal Care in Childbirth: The Case for a Physiologic Approach by Henci Goer >>Childbirth U: https://childbirth-u.com/ Ready to turn your passion for birth into a crazy successful doula career?
