Midwifery Wisdom Podcast

In this special throwback episode, host Augustine Colebrook takes us back to an enlightening interview with Brittany Thornton, the instructor for our newest course, "Midwives' Guide for Supporting Reproductive Journeys."

Join Augustine Colebrook, MA-MCHS, along with her remarkable guest, Brittany Thornton, CPM, LM—a midwife, mother, and experienced traditional surrogate with six beautiful journeys. Together, they delve into the realm of alternatives to the highly medicalized assisted reproductive process.

While some individuals trying to conceive may require the marvels of modern technology, Brittany sheds light on the fact that many within the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond don't necessarily need high-tech reproductive interventions. Rather, what they truly need is knowledge, time, space, and compassionate care.

Tune in to gain valuable insights as Brittany shares her personal journey through surrogacy, her dedication to serving the LGBTQIA+ community, and the immense value she sees in midwives acquiring the skill of IUI.
