Billie Harrigan is one of our elders. She is a mother, a grandmother, a traditional birth companion, and a mover and shaker of change in our birth world. She works gently, with kindness and love, for a truly woman-centred birth reality. She respects and empowers. She is humble, intelligent and skilled.
We spoke about birth, trauma-informed care, and the current maternity system.
You can reach her here: Billie Harrigan. I write about her, and the task ahead, here.
