Preparing for Birth, Midwifery, and How to Use Your Voice with Yuen Kwan Chan

Lisa’s Midwife, Yuen from TLC Midwifery, talks about birth in the most empowering and refreshing way — leaving fear and judgment behind no matter how and where you choose to give birth. Yuen has had a massive impact on Lisa — opening her eyes to what healthcare is capable of when compassion is prioritized.

- What midwifery is and what it isn’t

- The difference between a midwife and a doula

- How doctors and midwives can work together

- Birth trauma: what it is, and how we can prevent it with education

- Holistic ways we can prepare the body for birth without medical intervention 

- Yuen’s own birth experience that didn’t go as planned 

- Why an epidural can be helpful from a holistic perspective

- White coat syndrome: how to reclaim your voice when it comes to your health 

- The importance of feeling safe when going into labor
