Hi! My name is Ocean
I am the developer and facilitator of the workshop. Although research analysis can be tedious, pouring over the research on this topic was actually enthralling for me. I found answers, surprises, pitfalls and insights that I believe everyone working in the birth space can benefit from. I want to help others access these findings in a few hours (instead of months of countless hours!), so that more families can reap the long term rewards of better birth outcomes.
Looking forward to working with you ☺️
