From First Breath to Final Moments: A Doula & Palliative Nurse’s Perspective with Amber Thibault

from Wellness to Greatness: Anxiety Support for Women · host Janelle Plamondon

What if the same skills that guide us through childbirth could also bring peace at the end of life? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Amber Thibault — a doula, registered nurse, and palliative care consultant — to explore the full circle of life. From empowering women during labor to supporting families as they navigate end-of-life care, Amber shares her unique perspective on what it means to show up with presence, compassion, and courage.Together, we talk about:The role of a doula and how they support both moms and partners during birthWhy home births are rare in Canada (and what women should know about midwives)The emotional journey of postpartum recovery and practical support every mom deservesHow caring for aging parents mirrors the support needed in birthThe sacred parallels between life’s first breath and last breathIf you’re a mom, a caregiver, or a woman holding space for loved ones at different stages of life, this conversation will inspire you to see birth and death not as opposites, but as deeply connected transitions.✨ Listen in and be reminded that whether it’s bringing a baby into the world or saying goodbye to someone you love, none of us are meant to walk these moments alone.⭐ Find Amber here:www.amberthibault.caInstagram: @amber.thibault______Find the raw, unedited version of this podcast on YOUTUBE, click here to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode.
