Ep 142: Knees Together, Ankles Out - A Conversation with Labor & Birth Doula, Carrie Visalli

The Uncensored Moms

Tell Us How You Really Feel

It’s Doula Day! We are spending some time with Carrie Visalli, a childbirth doula here in San Diego County. She has worked with 38 mothers, 38 brand new babies. She is empathic, experienced, knowledgable, a literal birth superstar. Let’s learn about that doula life together, yes? Male participation encouraged.
But first, a story from the rough streets of Michelle’s neighborhood.
We start with the birth story that led Carrie to seek out Doula certification. We discuss the ups and downs of being a birth doula: the beautiful things, the scariest scenarios, the emotional toll, the gratitude, the most common birth experiences.
