Join me for a candid conversation between two nurses turned doulas who LOVE advocacy and Women-led birth.
In this episode my guest will touch on her journey with IVF and a medicalized birth experience during COVID times. This birth motivated her to "bridge the gap" and help inform other Mama's-to-be about their options.
We dive in to physiological birth, free birth, & attending births in the hospital. Lastly, we touch in on the state of our maternity care system and the impact of the lack of resources in small rural areas and what we can do about it!
My guest today is Jacqueline George. Jacqueline is a Certified Birth Doula (CD) trained by The Matrona Quantum Birth & Midwifery, a registered nurse, and a yoga instructor certified in prenatal and Hatha styles. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Boise State University as well as a Bachelor of Arts from Western Washington University. Currently, Jacqueline resides in Medicine Bow, Wyoming with her husband and son.
Jacqueline truly believes that birth is a natural, highly personal, and transformative experience that women's bodies are perfectly made to navigate. She also believes that, while technological advances in maternity care have saved many lives and improved outcomes, most births do not require such intervention or medical management. With this in mind, she is committed to supporting her clients' specific birth wishes, whatever they may be, and to helping them develop and achieve a birth plan that fits their unique needs and wants.
Jacqueline supports all of types birth in all settings and brings her multifaceted knowledge as well as her own pregnancy and birth experience to enhance and empower each client's individual journey.
