Hosted by LittleOak CEO and Founder Elke Pascoe, This Little Life is an impromptu and lively discussion diving into the big and little issues of parenting and beyond.

Childbirth. A word that can trigger a hundred different emotions – from joy to fear and back again. Then, you head home with a tiny human and everything else goes out the window. But what about mum? How are we helping them through this massive life transformation? Vanessa Werner believes we can do better. As a Doula, her passion is empowering women during pregnancy, birth and recovery. Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, her goal is to create a respectful birth culture for mothers.

But what does that look like? How do we achieve this? Should all women have a doula? Join us as we tackle the ultimate childbirth conundrum – to doula or not?
