Becoming a Queer Full Spectrum Doula (with Laura McGuire)

Dr. Laura McGuire talked with me about supporting young people through pregnancy and parenting, doula support for queer people and people with a kink lifestyle, and support for people with a history of trauma.

“The choices and options that healed some tormented others—there were no rights or wrongs, only maybes.” - Dr. Laura McGuire
