Postpartum sexual health is such an important topic that we're just not talking enough about, am I right?!
Meet, Dr. Rachel Ollivier. She's a maternal and women’s health researcher and practicing Registered Nurse. She currently works as a travel nurse on various acute medical-surgical units across British Columbia and Nova Scotia and is also employed as a nurse on the women’s surgical unit at the IWK Health Centre.
She has also completed nursing work in both Zambia and Tanzania. Some of her previous awards include being named a Vanier Scholar and being recognized as one of Optimyz magazine’s Top 100 Health Care Leaders for 2021.
In March of this year, she completed her PhD in Nursing at Dalhousie University, where her research focused on exploring sexual health after birth using feminist poststructuralism.
Rachel and I dove into what her research is all about and some pretty significant findings. Take a listen and let me know what you think on Insta or Facebook @birth_baby_sleep.
