In this episode of The Modern Therapy Podcast, we’re joined by Mary, certified birth doula and founder of Philomena Birth in Red Bank, NJ. Mary brings years of experience supporting women and families through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
We explore the emotional and physical benefits of having a doula, the importance of comprehensive childbirth education, and how individualized care can transform birth experiences. Mary also shares practical insights on preparing for postpartum, building a supportive birth team, and navigating informed decision-making during labor.
Whether you’re expecting, supporting a loved one through birth, or simply curious about maternal mental health, this episode offers a thoughtful, empowering look at why birth is more than just a medical event—it’s a life-changing journey that deserves holistic support.
