14: Doula Work, VBAC, and Induction with Julie Pichon

Doula work and the landscape of the maternity care system has drastically changed over time.  On today's episode, I talk to Julie about her 20+ years as a Doula, VBAC specialist, and breastfeeding educator and advocate. Julie was my doula for my VBAC in 2022 and has been a friend and mentor on my journey into birthwork.

In this episode, we dive into the following:

• Julie's early passion for birth and her start into doula work.
• How the space of VBAC support has changed since the 90's and Julie's top tips for a VBAC.
• Induction rates and why in the world they could be so high.
• …and so much more!
