In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, with Michelle Maclean, we chat about her 17 year (and counting) path as a birth worker, her own birthing experiences, and her journey as a surrogate, carrying life that wasn’t her own. We explore the psychedelic nature that comes through giving birth: the hormonal high, the other plane of existence we enter as birthing beings, the expansion. Michelle is a birth and postpartum doula that has been serving families living on the Unceded territories of the Coast Salish nation, also known as Vancouver since 2005, having attended about 1400 births. She is a proud mother of two and surrogate to one. Her vast experience in the birth space has opened her heart in supporting birthing people on all types of journeys, from home water birth to high risk hospital. Michelle co-facilitates a Trans and Queer pregnancy and birth group, teaches prenatal education, she is a mentor Doula, and was a Holistic Doula trainer at Pacific Rim College in Victoria for 9 years. Birth and death is where her heart lies and she will continue to support families in welcoming new life and releasing it for as long she can. This conversation touches me in so many ways, may you receive her magic and her overflowing heart, as we ride the waves together through beauty, challenge, and transformative growth. Michelle is a real life super woman for all that she does and is.
