Ash Dasuqi: I’m a Palestinian nonbinary midwife. I teach a queer/trans childbirth preparation class, a curriculum I created after attending many births and giving birth myself. It is a very evidence-based, trauma informed class that centers the trans & queer experience in pregnancy, labor, babyfeeding and postpartum. In addition to everything necessary for birth preparation and safer self-advocacy in home and hospital births, we also discuss hormone therapy, chestfeeding and drying up, inducing lactation, queer divisions of labor, dysphoria in birth, power dynamics in parenting, and much more. Sliding scale and payment plan options available.
