Tammy Ryan has vast experience as a doula trainer, Spinning Babies teacher working around the world.  She teaches “When Survivors Give Birth” to help both survivors heal and birth workers learn skills to provide respectful, sensitive care that facilities healing and positive births.  Tammy has experienced firsthand the barriers birthing people face worldwide in getting adequate care in childbirth and postpartum.  Her session provides important insights into what the #MeToo helped us see – that many more people are survivors sadly than data had thought.  She guided us in many ways to understand how some childbirth practices and words can cause survivors more trauma or cause trauma to anyone. Tammy inspired us to see what we can do to make sure birthing people always stay in their power.  It was healing, inspiring and an important session for all of us who want to ensure that every person gives birth with respect, safety and to facilitate that  birth can be a positive, healing, and pleasurable experience
