Birth and Wise Woman Tradition – 02/17/10

In this show, my two guests are going to help us remember the “Wise Woman Tradition” — the oldest known healing practice on our planet. Whapio Diane Bartlett of North Carolina and Amy Long of Georgia are practitioners of this tradition. A core belief of the Wise Woman Tradition is that a woman contains within an innate wisdom to guide her through the experience of birth and delivery. Whapio and Amy are Duolas, trained and experienced in the art of providing continuous physical, emotional and womanly support to mothers and their families before, during and after birth. They empower their clients by helping them balance ancient traditions with current medical practices as needed, to maximize the positive outcomes of the birth experience for all involved.
