EBB 284 - How to Help NICU Families Find Empowerment and Healing During their Challenging Journeys with Hollis Wakefield

EBB 284 - How to Help NICU Families Find Empowerment and Healing During their Challenging Journeys with Hollis Wakefield

In this episode, I'm joined by Hollis Wakefield, also known as The NICU Doula. Join us as we delve into a crucial topic: how to help NICU families find empowerment and healing during their challenging journeys.

Hollis is a former NICU parent turned birth worker, educator, and family advocate, and she shares her own powerful story of navigating a traumatic birth, early delivery, and the emotional roller coaster of having a medically complex baby in the NICU. She sheds light on the critical gaps in support and resources that many NICU families encounter, from the emotional toll to practical challenges, and highlights the importance of empowering NICU families during their transition from the NICU to home and provides insights into her work as an educator for doulas supporting NICU families.

Content Warning: The conversation includes discussions about birth trauma, PTSD, and the potential for distressing experiences in the NICU environment. Follow The NICU Doula on Instagram Learn more about Hollis and her work below: Learn about Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Awareness Month
