In this episode, we talk about how hospitals restricting care partners during labour due to the pandemic makes so little sense during what is often one of the most important experiences of a person's life. Lara discusses how her training as a Doula has influenced her clinical practice and led her to focus on resolving traumatic birth experiences. She describes the impact of how birthing parents are disempowered, the process medicalized, and how invalidation and doubting one's instincts often leads to more complications and issues.
