We’re excited to share with you a conversation with Dr Elliot Berlin. Elliot is an award-winning, prenatal chiropractor, childbirth educator, labor support bodyworker, and co-founder of Berlin Wellness Group in Los Angeles, California.

His separate schooling in massage therapy bodywork and chiropractic formed the backbone of his innovative pre and postnatal wellness care techniques. Dr Berlin's Informed Pregnancy project aims to utilize multiple forms of media, including podcasts, YouTube series, documentaries, and online workshops to compile and deliver unbiased information about pregnancy and childbirth.

Dr Berlin lives in Los Angeles with his wife, perinatal psychologist Dr Alyssa Berlin, and their four fantastic kids. Kaitlin and Dr Berlin first connected about six years ago after the birth of her first child when she was helping produce a childbirth documentary called These are my Hours.

Dr Berlin and Kaitlin talk about:

• What sparked Dr Berlin’s interest in healthcare, and how he came to work so deeply in the birth world
• How his own birth as a breech baby, and his children’s births played a role in this journey
• Dr Berlin’s work with creative postpartum mothers and his observations on how these mothers’ relationship to their creative pursuits tends to shift after they become parents.
• How he balances the juggle between immersing himself in serving his clients and being present with his family.
• The Informed Pregnancy plus streaming service, Dr Berlin’s new project aimed at making birthing information media easily accessible and affordable.
