8. The Fallacy of "Unbiased Maternity Care": An Interview with Author Henci Goer Birthworker Podcast — The Business Podcast for Doula Entrepreneurs

- Careers
Are you ready to support your doula clients using the most powerful tool on your belt?
In this episode, I am joined by my favorite author, Henci Goer. We are chatting about the impossibility of unbiased maternity care, and what you can do as a doula to help.
To put it lightly, mainstream obstetric research can be… dodgy. It rarely takes into account the mother’s well-being and is highly motivated by control, economic gains, and legal protection.
Putting the research into mom’s hands will give her the confidence to make evidence-based decisions during her birth experience, and give her a better chance at the birth outcome she has envisioned.
Henci is an acknowledged expert on evidence-based maternity care, an award-winning medical writer and an internationally known speaker. Her most well-known book is “Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities,” which is used and referenced widely across the childbirth community.
If you’re tired of hearing doctors push their non-evidence-based opinions, then you’ll wanna listen up!
