March's Super Women

We want to thank the three wonderful doulas and NWIBC members who served as panelists at the latest MCH ECHO session. Thank you Roberta Eaglehorse-Ortiz, Chriest Palenshus and Lindsay Thomas! Following the virtual training module, “Nourishing the Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding Parent with Traditional Plants and Medicines,” created by Valerie Segrest (Muckleshoot) for the NWIBC, the panelists provided important insights, expertise and resources for those attending.


A link to THE video recording of that session on Indian Country ECHO resource page can be found here: https://www.indiancountryecho.org/resources/traditional-plants-and-herbs-to-support-breast-chest-feeding-february-23-2023/
