Have you ever wondered if you, as a doula, how you can actually help impact the declining state of maternity care in your community?

In this episode, Jessica Johnston and I will be talking about the broken maternity care system and how it’s affecting marginalized communities.

Jessica Johnston is the Director of Development for the Pacific Birth Institute, as well as a midwife in Anchorage, Alaska. Strategy and large-scale organization for efficiency in training models are one of Jennifer’s greatest strengths. In her past life, she helped organize, open, train, and restructure four restaurants in her first 14-year career as a server and front-of-house manager. But now being a midwife and a steward of the legacy and longevity of midwifery, she gets to take that same passion and apply it to the infrastructure of regenerative community-based maternity care access for clients and providers alike. 

Press play, so you can learn how to have an impact on the broken maternity care system without following the status quo.
