Speaker
Sarah Shealy (she/her) has worked with birthing families since the 1990s. Educated by some of the most amazing midwives, her focus as a health care provider has always been to deeply trust the wisdom of the birthing person, the process of birth, and to serve the community. As a provider who has worked both in community settings (homebirth) and hospital settings, she brings a unique perspective to how the medical system interferes with the normal process. She has attended births in hospitals large and small, as well as in homes, vans, and even a yurt. She has first assisted in hundreds of c-sections and supported thousands of families with infant feeding. She loves to teach and mentor nurses and midwives in their early career development. Sarah has a particular interest in the postpartum experience, and how we can narrow the gap in care for postpartum people in our system.
