Midwifery, Motherhood & Scottish Folk Medicine ~ Nicola Goodall

Dreaming the Ancestors

In this conversation, I talk with Nicola Goodall about the importance of midwives in the birthing process for mothers, and the ways that Scottish folk medicine weaves into the ancient tradition of midwifery.
Nicola shares her wealth of wisdom about the sacredness of birthing, and ways to support this important rite of passage for mothers. She also shares wisdom about the persecution of midwives during the Witch Hunts and the ways that these atrocities have impacted women’s medicine.
Last but not least, we have a discussion about the importance of mothers being nourished and supported, especially in these times of overwhelm and isolation.
