Two Eyed Seeing: Bridging the Indigenous and Western Understanding of Health, Healing & Life Podcast

Two Eyed Seeing: Bridging the Western and Indigenous Understanding of Health, Healing and Life. Being raised as a person of blended ancestry, Mohawk and European, I learned to see life from both worldviews. In becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, and Birth Doula I began to understand how Naturopathic Medicine can be understood as a bridge between the healing traditions of our Indigenous communities, and Western approaches to health and wellness. My goal in this podcast is to build that bridge, by bringing you information on various topics about health and wellness from both perspectives, so we can learn and grow together as we journey through life on this pace we call Earth, and Turtle Island.

    Culturally Focused Care and Why I Went Back to Doula School [Episode 27]

    In this episode, I will be sharing about about the importance of culturally focused care, and training within a cultural context. Sometimes people don't understand why we, as Indigenous people, ask for spaces, training and care that are specific to our cultural practices and traditions. They misunderstand this request as something that would be 'nice to have', when in reality it is absolutely essential. We also discuss some exciting new developments for the podcast!   TRIGGER WARNING: We do touch on pregnancy loss and abortion very briefly in this episode.   In This Episode: [00:02:02] Revisiting Why I Created Two Eyed Seeing [00:03:48] Returning to Doula School or Full Spectrum Doula Training [00:13:55] Pregnancy is not an automatic medical emergency [00:17:29] The difference between being in the culture and non-Indigenous approaches [00:21:31] Why the issues are still an important factor today [00:23:08] Why Culturally Focused Care Is Not a ”Nice to Have”, but Essential [00:29:20] The Impacts of Trauma on Birth [00:30:00] Speaking to Pregnancy Loss and Termination of Pregnancy [00:33:41] Benefits of Indigenous Doula and Midwifery care [00:38:51] Understanding the Impact of Culturally Appropriate Care and Training [00:50:11] Where the Podcast is Going Next!   Further Information: SOAHAC: https://www.soahac.on.ca/locations/waterloo-wellington Aunties on the Road: https://auntiesontheroad.ca/   Connect with Me: WEBSITE: http://www.sarahconnorsnd.com/ FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/sarahconnorsnd.doula/ IG: @drsarah1connorsnd
