Stacey and Tommy Fluker are parents of three children and the owners and operators of Healing Exchange AL. Stacey and Tommy are healers, thai yoga massage practitioners, bee keepers, and lovers of nature and music. Stacey is also a doula who witnessed her mother birth birth at home and was inspired to birth her children at home. Her first two births were assisted by underground or "rebel midwives." Her third birth was unassisted and is featured of part two of this episode. Read more about Stacey here. It’s been a year since Alabama legalized homebirth midwifery by granting midwives an opportunity to become licensed after a 40-year struggle. Until this point, Alabama had not issued an out-of-hospital midwifery license since 1976.
