#25: The Psychoemotional Healing of an Undesired Cesarean Birth Experience with Allison Winston of the Cesarean Doula

The Cervical Wellness Podcast

After a 6 month haitus from this podcast, I'm excited to be back to offer this interview with Allison Winston aka the Cesarean Doula.

In this episode we talk about:

-Allison's experience of having an undesired cesarean birth experience after planning for an unmedicated home-birth and how this led to the development of her work with the Cesarean Doula.

-The type of support women need when they have an unplanned and undesired cesarean birth experience (hint, its not just physical support!)

-What surprised Allison the most as she dove deep into the research about cesarean births.

-What do c-section Mama's need to know to help with their psychoemotional healing process and how to help themselves integrate the story into their body's and lives.
