Preparing for Birth, Midwifery, and How to Use Your Voice with Yuen Kwan Chan The Truthiest Life

Lisa’s Midwife, Yuen from TLC Midwifery, talks about birth in the most empowering and refreshing way — leaving fear and judgment behind no matter how and where you choose to give birth. Yuen has had a massive impact on Lisa — opening her eyes to what healthcare is capable of when compassion is prioritized.
