198: Sovereign Births: The Transformative Power of Birth Doulas
In this episode of the Future Generations podcast, Dr. Stanton Hom engages in a profound discussion with Eyla, a seasoned birth doula, educator, and birth trauma alchemist. Together the two dive deep into the significance of empowering women during childbirth. This episode emphasizes the importance of sovereignty, safety, and informed choice in birthing experiences, as they explore how Eyla's comprehensive doula training program equips participants with knowledge on physiological birth processes, interventions, and the importance of addressing personal growth and healing. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by doulas and expectant parents in navigating the medicalized landscape of birth, the legal, and cultural dynamics affecting birth practices globally, and the transformative journey of becoming a doula. Eyla's unique approach to doula training focuses not just on the mechanics of childbirth but on fostering deep personal healing, advocating for informed consent, and cultivating entrepreneurship among doulas. They will also discuss the broader implications of birth practices on societal health and the critical role of doulas in bridging the gap between traditional birthing wisdom and modern healthcare paradigms.
