The Magic of Midwifery | Golden Hour Podcast, Episode 7 with Martina Chwascinska-Szarek, CNM WHNP-BC

This week on the Golden Hour we continue a deeper dive into midwifery care. In this episode we speak with Certified Nurse Midwife Martina Chwascinska-Szarek and learn about the history of midwifery care and how its origin is foundational to reinforcing empowered, dignified births.  Martina is a Certified Nurse Midwife based in Berkeley, California. She completed her nurse midwifery and women’s health nurse practitioner training at UCSF in 2016, with a focus on global health, and has been working as a full scope nurse-midwife in Northern California since then. Prior to becoming a midwife, Martina worked as a rape crisis counselor and domestic violence counselor, which informs her work as a midwife as well as her dedication to trauma informed care and reproductive justice.Thank you for listening ❤ PODCAST LINKS:- Podcast Website: ⁠https://goldenhour.fm⁠- YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@GoldenHourFM?ref=bs- Apple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/golden-hour/id1768847425?ref=bs- Spotify: ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/goldenhourfm?ref=bs- RSS: ⁠https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2401875.rss?ref=bsSOCIAL LINKS:- Instagram: https://instagram.com/goldenhour.fm?ref=bs- Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goldenhour.fm?ref=bs
