In this episode we discuss a mindful approach to parenting that is relevant for adults in the hopeful, expecting, birthing, and parenting stage of life. The Heart of Birth offers a unique, transformative, evidence-based approach to whole-person care, a compliment to traditional clinical models and doula services.
Our guest is Leah Lemelin, CPD, MMI.
