Oceane Campbell ~ Catching Souls: The Midwife’s Dance Between Nature, Nurture, and Knowing
Catching Souls: The Midwife’s Dance Between Nature, Nurture, and Knowing
Through stories from the birth room, Oceane shares a midwife’s view of the balance between clinical knowledge and trusting the birth process, reflecting on the emotional depth midwifery - where science guides us, but connection carries us - and how midwives support families through the emotional and physical journey of giving birth.
