Beyond Birth

Welcome to the Beyond the Birth Podcast. Co-hosted each week by Liz Winters (Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified pre and post-natal coach, and mama) and Jenny Anderson (doula, Birthfit Regional Director, certified yoga instructor, and mama). Our hope is to inspire, educate, and empower women as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood with evidence based guidance, informative interviews, and entertaining anecdotes from our perspectives as moms, entrepreneurs, and birth professionals. In this week’s catch up episode we touch base on Jenny’s last two births which happened over the weekend. Both births went fairly close to mom’s “birth plan”, but how much does a doula let personal experience influence their role or how they direct the birth pattern (if at all). We highlight the importance of clearly communicating your goals to your birth support/information team. By empowering our partners and possibly even mothers and mothers-in-law, their role is better defined (we love healthy boundaries!)
