Integrative Clinical Theater: Whole Person Childbirth

October 25, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Unlearning birth-phobic American culture and orienting patients towards evidence-based birth

In this Integrative Clinical Theatre, we will examine and unlearn birth-phobic information we have been taught by society and our families of origin. We will learn new ways of understanding the prenatal, birth and postpartum experience by debunking myths around induction, pelvis size/shape and babies that are “too big” or “overdue”.  We will help you, help patients, to make evidence- based birth decisions, improving birth outcomes and the lives of parents.
