    Autonomy in Midwifery with Tanja
    Apr 2 2024
    Tanja introduces us to Autonomy in Midwifery, shares her career as a midwife and process to de-register. She worked in New Zealand and the Netherlands where she developed her Midwifery practice. We also go into vaccines, programs and experiencing this world as an autonomous being. This one is provocative, bringing unique personal experiences and questioning our underlying intentions as Midwifes and unintended consequences we can bring to the birth space.
